The title does not a leader make

Our government, not Obama's

I guess the President doesn't like to be questioned or challenged in any way. He made that pretty clear.

He just doesn't get that it is our government, not his. And it is our job to challenge things with which we disagree or that go against our Constitution. He is not a king or a dictator, much as he would like those positions. It is "of the people, by the people and for the people" not of, by and for the President. Democracy is messy and difficult. That is why it is so precious. Democracy becomes infinitely more of a challenge when the leadership chafes at the legitimate restriction of their power. There are those who say we should stand behind our President, especially in times of danger or uncertainty. It has been my experience that people will follow a true leader that they trust. It has also been my experience that the title does not a leader make and people figure that out, eventually. Fred Libby Englewood, FL
