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.”
I predict that Obama’s hair will be snow white after 6 months in office when he finally realizes that he is in WAY OVER HIS HEAD.
You can only FAKE being the most articulate, intelligent, honest, transparent, humble, athletic, confident, educated, organized, god-like, non-smoking, American-born (clean) black family man just so long and then people start expecting you to deliver!

that was fun :)
On the economy, FDR-like he will throw money at everything. Folks, this guy has absolutely copied FDR's playbook when it comes to "public works jobs," having the government "create jobs," etc. Part II of that is incredibly high taxes on all the real producers. The only thing that could ameliorate that is the fact that Rubin is still there, and Rubin is the guy who kept Clinton in line by warning him about those "f . . . ing bond traders." Freepers won't like this, but Rubin was a far better economics guy than anyone in the Bush administration, and I hate to say that, because personally I like Ben Bernanke. But Rubin at least understood deficits.
On foreign policy, Obama will be taken for so many rides by foreign leaders and terrorists that he'll be viewed as the high school tramp. One word and he'll drop his skirt.
That said, for me personally, this is very lucrative: a conservative writer is MUCH better off in a Dem administration. Already, my book 48 Liberal Lies is in its 6th printing !!! So, sadly, I have to use the Saturday Night Live line and say "Obama ben bery bery good to me," without meaning to do so.
The chair Barry’s about to sit in is way too big for him. Wait 6-9 months and it will be painfully obvious to everybody that this guy isn’t the real deal, he hasn’t a clue on how to run anything, and will confirm without doubt the liberal mentality of how government should be run is flawed.
At what point during Barry’s run here will he stop blaming the ‘previous administration” for everything? You know that’s coming.
Clueless Jenny Granholm has been blaming G.W. and John Engler since she took office in 2003 and apparently its been working because they've totally managed to screw up the Michigan economy during her tenure. She, of course, is an innocent bystander. She is one of Zero's economic advisors and I can only imagine what she's whispering in his ear with her tight little lips.
I thought Erkel was strange, but I can't imagine a similar picture of him arousing even the most virulent lavenderlisious antiheterosexual. Well, perhaps Deb Price, the homosexual columnist for the Detroit News now that you mention it.
I predict he gets bored and frustrated under the lifestyle restrictions, requirements to be patriotic, and dealing with intractable problems.
Major legislation introduced by Senator Tombstone Burris (D-Il:
“Oreo cookie is renamed the Obama cookie.”
1) 1st Cabinet member to resign
-Gates
2) 1st Cabinet member to require a “special counsel”
-Hillary
3) Country of first international crises
-Well, outside of Israel and any small African countries which are already in ‘crisis’, I’d say Pakistan.
4) Date of first editorial in the NY Times or Washington Post that is openly critical of Obama administration.
-May ‘09
5) 1st member of the Black Congressional Caucus to criticize Obama.
-I actually couldn’t tell you the races of most senators off the top of my head, beyond the ones with the last name of ‘Kennedy’...
6) First moonbat celebrity to call Obama an Uncle Tom.
-Paris Hilton. Although, Mel Gibson is a possibility...
7) First SCOTUS member to step down under Obama - all bets are on Justice Stevens.
-OK, then, Stevens. Although, if I were in the SCOTUS, I’d avoid stepping down and therefore giving Obama the chance to get one of his choices in.
Pain.
Wow, we think alike about 43 per cent of the time. ;’)
Wow, you too... ;’D
Erkel. That’s a good comparison. He’s clearly in over his head. He looks insecure, he can’t make a decision, he’s afraid to take random questions during press conferences and he can’t take a clear stand on important issues. He’s no leader by any stretch of the imagination. Let him play “president” for 4 years. He’s a one termer for sure.
Well put.
My guess is, Granholm will wind up with a broken arm from Michelle, have to leave the administration, and die in an unsolved drive-by shooting. Oh, wait, that’s a Detroit flashback...
Thanks!
Okay, you, and OldSarge, and 2ndDivisionVet, and me are skewing the betting pool. ;’)
5) 1st member of the Black Congressional Caucus to criticize Obama.
I guess it could be Charles Rangel, assuming he remains in office much longer.
Charles Rangel RAT-NY paid parking tickets with campaign money

I don’t know how sincere people think I am when i say this, but for the past couple of months i have genuinely hoped that this guy won’t be a screwup. I love my country and don’t want it to come apart. But what I’ve seen of him so far is just pathetic—I just saw on the news that his response to his critics is “What’s YOUR idea on the economy?” If he’s this thinskinned—and his “ideas” are a continuation of the Bush policies he ran against—we are screwed.
