“I called him autocratic yesterday, but let me be very clear,” LePage said, winding up. "I believe the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, is a dictator."

I guess I need to reread those chapters defining the various characteristics of heads of state.

I thought that he promised never to talk to the press again, a month ago.

My dad killed Frank Rizzo, and we were all pretty sure he was dead, so I’m not sure how he came back to life as governor of Maine.

  2. The voices in LePage’s head need a moderator.

Mainers must be proud! (I guess I’m one to talk though, Louisiana born and a 36 year resident of Texas)

“Instead of the word authoritative, I used the word authoritarian,” LePage told reporters, calling it a "misword."

Indeed. Maine must be so proud.

Oops! Jinx.

LePage, on the other hand, is just a Dick.

What’s the matter with Maine?

“misword” ???!!!???

LePage not speaks good hugely. Deplorable.

Not only is Maine losing population; it may also be losing its collective mind voting for this guy twice.

Yeah Jerkface…that made it ALL better!

All the evidence I’m aware of shows that the United States under President Barack Obama is enjoying historic levels of favorability.

As Obama Years Draw to Close, President and U.S. Seen Favorably in Europe and Asia

  • As he nears the end of his presidency, Barack Obama continues to
    enjoy a broad degree of international popularity. A new Pew Research
    Center survey conducted in 10 European nations, four major
    Asia-Pacific countries, Canada and the United States finds that half
    or more of those polled in 15 of 16 countries express confidence in
    the American leader.

  • Although he has not been universally praised by global publics
    throughout his two terms in office, previous Pew Research Center
    surveys have found higher international ratings for Obama than for
    his predecessor, George W. Bush. During the Bush era, opposition to
    U.S. foreign policy and rising anti-Americanism were widespread in
    many regions of the world, but Obama’s election in November 2008 led
    to a significant improvement in America’s global image. The shift was
    especially dramatic in Western Europe, where assessments of Bush were
    grim, but subsequent views of Obama have been remarkably positive.

Do you want to see “dwindling global respect for the United States”? Then elect Donald Trump.

You know, maybe one of these alleged journalists reporting this crap could actually ask this fat sack of gristle exactly what those words mean?

When speaking of Mr. LePage, one must paraphrase an old political chestnut:
“As goes Maine, so goes constipation.”
Paul LePage is a human enema.
