    Would you vote to just keep Obama for the rest of his life instead if you could?
    Nobody? There are millions who do. And your poll lacks some more options. Such as " No Obama ever again or any of his political supporters ".

    Yep, exactly. I don't know how people can support someone who wants to infringe on constitutional rights.

    But... if Trump wins the GOP, my vote is going to Clinton. I'd much rather have a liar as POTUS than a neo-fascist.
    Even if that was true and he was what you say, why would you rather have a liar? At least a neo-facist you can predict, a liar by their very nature is unpredictable.

    If they're lying about a person and it is harmful to their reputation it is called libel and it is a crime.

    No one has the right to libel or slander.

    Trump is a liar too though. Hillary and Trump both lie nearly constantly.

    I didn't vote for Obummer last time, I wouldn't vote for him indefinitely.
    I don't like Trump, I don't trust Clinton. It's a shame that there are only two choices every election cycle in this allegedly great nation.

    Haha, I see what you did there and agree. To the point about libel laws, he never mentioned anything about free speech being taken away. He simply stated that news outlets can be sued for publishing false information knowingly. While I don't agree with the way he went about it, I think everyone can realize that the media industry as a whole is pretty slanted one particular direction and often times can be counted on by one particular party to tow the line.

    OK, well thats not the example that was given. It was Hillary was a liar and trump was a neo-facist. Not agreeing with the poster, just stating what they said.

    No. I am not interested in a king or a dictator for life. Even if you think Obama is the most awesome president ever, at some point there will be a truly bad president, and you don't want to open that door for them.

    We learned this lesson a long time ago with kings.

    Of course he's not going to come right out and say he's taking away free speech. By his law/logic if you post a review of a hotel and it is not favorable they can call it slander and you can be sued for said slander.

    We are a democracy not a dictatorship, as much as some of you wish otherwise.

    It sometimes feels like a dictatorship, with some of those lifetime politicians we keep re-electing. There really needs to be term limits for all political offices.

    I strongly agree with this. Same for Supreme Court Justices.
