It would be funny if the stakes — the future direction of this country for many years to come — weren’t so high.
It’s still hard not to feel just a bit of schadenfreude watching many of Barack Obama’s supporters, particularly those who are among the well-positioned or financially well-off, fidget, whine, and moan as they discover what those of us who actually researched and studied the guy before the election knew about him.
Slowly but surely it is dawning on many of these elites that Obama is exactly what he was in rare unguarded moments during his presidential campaign, during his brief U.S. Senate career as its most liberal member, during his time as an Illinois senator, and, to the extent we were able or allowed to learn it, during his life up to that point: a far-left, class-warfare, redistributionist demagogue. They are also learning that he is bound and determined to impose a radical agenda on the rest of the country and that he has little interest in making exceptions for those who thought they were buying protection or favors with their campaign dollars....

What? Shocked that he’s a FASCIST?
Or shocked that he isn’t carefully keeping it under wraps like they do?
Schadenfreude? I hope they lose their homes, fortunes - all their material possessions. I have NO respect for those Obama supporters I know who had more than I to lose at the hands of the Marxist they helped elect.
And very soon the whole world will come to know what an incompetent fool he his.
Yeah, but, hey, they got to “vote for the cool black guy” and “be a part of history”!
I know some too, and I feel the same way. I'll never feel anything but contempt for those who voted for that pious rodent.
If only their crash & burn didn’t affect us all!!
Among the high level elites there are no regrets. These people are insulated from the taxes and troubles. They have accountants and lawyers that keep them out of the tax traps. They have incomes that our flexible..like govt employees..that allow them to get big raises for nothing..and bigger retirements via tricks.
Sooner or later the people will wake up to the fact that the Rats are the party of the rich and currupt.
I’ll never feel anything but contempt for those who voted for that pious rodent.
Ditto! Obama made 509 campaign promises. His supporters elected him to loot the treasury on their behalf. They are expecting those skittle crapping unicorns anytime now.
Good points!
“he has little interest in making exceptions for those who thought they were buying protection or favors with their campaign dollars”
He is doing a lot for the UAW and the SEIU and unions in general.
just as when Emma Goldman went to the USSR and was shocked to learn that they were executing intellectuals....
I feel as sorry for the well-to-do supporters of Zero as I do the rich suckers who were ripped off by the scum Bernard Madoff.
Both groups would have been perfectly happy improving their lot, utilizing connections and privileged information, at the expense of others, not part of the insiders club.
F” em.
He’s Mussolini in tan.
In my opinion, that’s EXACTLY what got him elected.

In my opinion it ain’t even a matter of opinion, it is a fact as obvious as the sunrise. Those who say differently are as willfully blind as someone who says fire won’t burn him. If he looked like Anderson Cooper he would be totally unknown.
We're in big trouble, folks, and the only thing I'm clinging to is the belief that Obama is SO radical that even middle class liberals, upper middle class liberals, and some rich liberals realize that what Obama is trying to do to the economy will screw them over, too.
Wait until all those die-hard gays who are trying to get gays out in the open with same-sex marriage, while at the same time promoting Islam in the US find out what Islam thinks of their sexual persuasion.
Once the closet Muslim Obama allows Islamic practices virtually unrestricted in this country, the die-hards gays will be serendipitiously and violently eliminated.
Obama was a blank slate to many of these elites. They saw what they chose to see. Now reality is biting them in the ass.
50%? 60%, 70%
Or, even better, 100%?
One can only "hope" for this much needed "change."
Wait, just so I can get this straight: When Obama does something we dislike he is a devious facist anti-christ.
When he does something we like, he is a fool.
regardless we are not allowed to be pleased by any actions other than potentially resigning in disgrace.
Is that right, cause my head is spinning.
Something wicked this way walks!
There are a couple of radio talk hosts who were supposed conservatives, but who hated McCain so passionately over the illegals issue, that they actually VOTED for Obama. They thought he would govern from the center. I can hardly stand to listen to them now, and they avoid bringing up topics criticizing Obama, I guess because crow doesn’t taste all that good.
EXACTLY. Even with evidence that he would hurt them personally. To be thought of as cool is one of the most important things to people today. WHO WILL DARE TO TEACH THEM IT'S NOT?
It’s simply the dichotomy between the worldly worldview and the Christian worldview. Whom do you want to please?
God gave us a longing to be significant, through Him, and His Son,
but too many seek this significance in worldly pursuits.
Witness Chavez of Venezuela. This big stupid oaf perverts the country and continues squash opposition. His minions kick-in their doors with no retribution.
Obama is equally ruthless and hell bent for payback. The wailing and moaning of all opposition is musical affirmation impetus for his agenda. This man sees his place in history with ends likely to form our worst nightmares.
Pelosi has incurred the wrath of the "O" and his handlers, and is currently in the process of getting the Ernst Röhm treatment. The rest of the brownshirts will in time, be weeded out to make way for the new blackshirts.
Dissent has gone from being patriotic to being racist.
Obama does what the left does best...twist a noble idea into something totally contrary to its original meaning.
The idea of people being judged by the content of character and not the color of their skin now means you are no longer allowed to judge someones character because of the color of their skin.
Add to that the relentless assault on Bush and Cheney for 8 years. Hey obama “part of history” types. How about that Bush kept another 9/11 from happening and kept your part of history backsides safe. OK now your boy wants to undo all that. How’s that going to work for you?
