Does the stimulus package begin the reign of the Obama Dictatorship?

The bill was passed with no equal party involvement, it was not allowed to be reviewed by the members of the congress or the people. We were told that if it wasn't handled now the US would collapse, yet Obama was able to take a 3 day vacation before he gets around to signing it.

Sounds like something Chavez would do.

Update:

AuntFran-

Thanks for the history lesson; however for the next eight years it is very possible that the public could get zero representation in the government. Only 31% of country wanted this to pass. If you eliminate the government workers who will recieve this money I bet the number is below 20%.

When the public is forced to except social change without representation you have a dictatorship.

    No!As an experienced voter,and,having some knowledge of U.S. history,including how most U.S. presidents from 1945 until now,must respect term limits for their position,there's no way that there will ever be any kind of dictatorship,with Obama or anyone else.

    Before 1945,there were no term limits regarding U.S. presidents.Term limits limit how many times any U.S. president can run for re-election.They came about as a result of Pres.Franklin D. Roosevelt having served 4 consecutive terms as president.That means that,after he was elected the first time,in 1932,he then ran for re-election three more consecutive times after that,and,therefore served three more consecutive terms before he died in 1945.

    He was re-elected in 1936,1940,and 1944.

    This stimulus package wont do any good. All it is doing is piling debt upon debt. How can that help?
