OPINION:
Obama’s comments already reflects that his administration is in “crisis” mode. I predict every single day of his administration he will have a “crisis” to contend with.
1) 1st Cabinet member to resign: Secretary of Defense Robert Gates
2) 1st Cabinet member to require a “special counsel”:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
3) Country of first international crises: India/Pakistan war
4) Date of first editorial in the NY Times or Washington Post that is openly critical of Obama administration:
February 4th, 2009
5) 1st member of the Black Congressional Caucus to criticize Obama: Rep. Maxine Waters
6) First moonbat celebrity to call Obama an Uncle Tom:
Rosie O’Donut
7) First SCOTUS member to step down under Obama - all bets are on Justice Stevens:
Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (death)
I expect, at some point, or points, the brutish Michelle to cause an unpleasant ruckus or two.
1) 1st Cabinet member to resign
Robert Gates or Rahm Emmanuel
2) 1st Cabinet member to require a “special counsel”
Clinton or Emmanuel
3) Country of first international crises
Israel
4) Date of first editorial in the NY Times or Washington Post that is openly critical of Obama administration.
June 2009 WaPo
5) 1st member of the Black Congressional Caucus to criticize Obama.
December 2009
6) First moonbat celebrity to call Obama an Uncle Tom.
Any day now.
7) First SCOTUS member to step down under Obama - all bets are on Justice Stevens.
Stevens?
1) 1st Cabinet member to resign
Energy Secretary - can’t remember her named. Forced out when gas goes to 10 dollars a gallon.
2) 1st Cabinet member to require a “special counsel”
Tom Daschle
3) Country of first international crises
Israel and Lebanon
4) Date of first editorial in the NY Times or Washington Post that is openly critical of Obama administration.
Define “critical”. Any way I would define it: never.
5) 1st member of the Black Congressional Caucus to criticize Obama.
Cynthia McKinney
6) First moonbat celebrity to call Obama an Uncle Tom.
Publically? None.
7) First SCOTUS member to step down under Obama - all bets are on Justice Stevens.
Probably Stevens...
I’m sorry, I know he’s all buff and all, but when I look at that picture all I can think is “Erkel.”
Predict the day they cancel Affirmative Action?
AntiChrist is revealed.
Oh, what the heck, it might be fun if this outlandish prediction comes true. I predict that SCOTUS will order the Pres Elect to produce his longform BC, but he will refuse. The 20th amendment will be triggered... riots in the streets... blah blah blah, but basically no Obama administration.
I put the chances at about 1/20 that this will happen but it can still happen.
It must be my day for the e-z button.
The answer is:
Never.
“4) Date of first editorial in the NY Times or Washington Post that is openly critical of Obama administration. “
Would an article count if it stated that: “Obama is truly great. But he is an eentsy bit less great and bitchin’ as we thought he would be”?
2) 1st Cabinet member to require a "special counsel" SHE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED
3) Country of first international crises DA JOOOOOOOOS!
4) Date of first editorial in the NY Times or Washington Post that is openly critical of Obama administration. NEVER
5) 1st member of the Black Congressional Caucus to criticize Obama. NEVER
6) First moonbat celebrity to call Obama an Uncle Tom. THEY WOULDN'T DARE!
7) First SCOTUS member to step down under Obama - all bets are on Justice Stevens.RUTH BADER MEINHOFF
I predict several new fashion trends will be credited to PEBO.

The Revolution Was, by Garet Garrett (1938)
It discusses the New Deal from a close perspective (1938) by a Conservative writer. Lengthy but important reading and should be read by all. The same blueprint is being followed 75 years later. Here’s an excerpt:
******* **** *** ***
“Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse. The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.
The end held constantly in view was power.
In a revolutionary situation mistakes and failures are not what they seem. They are scaffolding. Error is not repealed. It is compounded by a longer law, by more decrees and regulations, by further extensions of the administrative hand. As deLawd said in The Green Pastures, that when you have passed a miracle you have to pass another one to take care of it, so it was with the New Deal. Every miracle it passed, whether it went right or wrong, had one result. Executive power over the social and economic life of the nation was increased. Draw a curve to represent the rise of executive power and look there for the mistakes. You will not find them. The curve is consistent.
At the end of the first year, in his annual message to the Congress, January 4, 1934, President Roosevelt said: “It is to the eternal credit of the American people that this tremendous readjustment of our national life is being accomplished peacefully.”
Peacefully if possible of course......
History repeating itself... “peacefully if possible of course.”
