Why do Conservatives claim that President Obama is a dictator, when he hasn't even raised the debt ceiling?

If President Obama was really a dictator, wouldn't he cite the 14th Amendment and raise the debt ceiling on his own. But instead he says that it is something that Congress must do.

    Because conservatives don't know or understand the definition of the word "dictator".

    The same goes for "socialism", "communism", and "Marxism".

    And "gun control", and "contraception".

    They make up the definitions as they see fit.

    Uhh those republicans have low IQs for some reason. Assuming what you say is true, then the republicans simply think the Obama is a dictator because he only wants "his way".

    Apparently, the reason Obama doesn't want to negotiate with those assholes is because their reasons for delaying Obamacare are based on petty ideals without numbers to prove their claims AT ALL. Furthermore, Republicans used America to threaten Obama, that right there is foul, uncalled for,and disrespectful towards the United States of America. No idiot should cause harm to billions of people just so their ideals are heard...no matter how much they say "it is for the american people".

    In short, Republicans wants to save America at America and the whole world's expense.

    Such utter hypocrites. *spit*

    When a politician can issue orders without opposition that's a dictator. When he can on his own change the wording of existing legislation like Obama has, that's a dictator (PS - that is a function that our Constitution reserves specifically to the Congress).

    Despite the fact President Obama won TWICE by margins LARGER than Junior ever did.

    In fact one time Junior didn't even get the most votes!

    Why did he cover up Benghazi and the IRS scandal? He said "My Muslim Faith" on national television, he is exempting himself and his family from obamacare, he's had 6 years and couldn't do anything good for this country. You sheep.

    Simple, he does not do as they tell him to. That makes him a dictator and a communist.
