That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Obama may be ruining the economy.
He may be embarrassing us on the international stage.
He may be a crypto-socialist.
He may hate America in the deepest recesses of his soul.
he may have been brainwashed by leftist ideologies.
He may be raising taxes unwisely and trying to redistribute some wealth.

But, so far at least, he is neither a despot nor a dictator. Our day-to-day lives have continued pretty much unchanged. He has not abolished the three branches of the Federal government.

There’s a big different between being a bad president and being an absolute despot.
