I agree Obama is not popular, but equating him to a dictator or tyrant is pretty damn stupid, close-minded, and ignorant. And it's probably a one way ticket to a giant F or forced W in a college Political Science class. Really, college is a challenge to some, but you have to try your hardest to get an F in a political science class. You can just exert that same effort and get straight A's for the semester.
He's really unpopular in this town. But in this town, it's predominantly white, christian, and Republican (Not counting the college and university area. Those areas are pretty much liberal and Democrat, with maybe 1 or 2 conservatives or Republicans out of maybe 1,000), so that explains it as well.
Now that I think about it, he's really unpopular in the Central Valley. It's just the most of the college students voting for Obama this last election that pretty much kept this valley Blue.
