I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The Obama that will be running for president will be the Obama of late summer/fall of 2012, not the Obama of late winter/spring of 2012.

We’ll be in a completely different environment. The GM sales, caused by dealers massively bumping inventories, will be a distant memory. Gas prices, Greece defaulting along with other PIIGS related events. The lies about the economy being exposed, as reality allows them to age. It will be much, MUCH uglier by election time.

Which is why I’ve said, for two years now - and feel stronger about it today - that Obama will not finish his term. We are in the calm before the storm. A better analogy would be that we are in the eye of the storm, and it has greatly increased in power since we entered the eye.

Sounds about right.

Obama will not finish his term.

Which one, the first or second?

And this gets to the root of why what we’ve been told is based on lies:

The Hedonics part is laughable. They really think we are stupid and, sadly, in most cases they may be right. Maybe “ignorant” is a better word though.

This is so depressing. I’m just getting back on my feet after the housing bubble burst (I was a finish carpenter and stair builder) and I am so worried that the economy will tank again and my sales will die. I am just a woodworker but I could fix this economy. It’s simple. Get the hell out of our way and let us do our thing. You are “equalizing” us to death.

His only term.

Caveat: If, for some crazy reason, elections really are suspended, this will fall under Obama not finishing his term, for he will no longer be “president”. He will be something else.

I hope you’re right, but I’m far more worried about dragging Baraq out of the WH after he’s lost the election.

I’d think the probability of this egomaniac leaving before Jan 2013 is minimal. Remember the only other real horsepower in the Dem party is the Clintons, and the Chicago mob is blackmailing them over Arkancide.

I don't have a doubt in my mind Zippo is going to be out and Hillary is going to be on on the ticket.

If the market corrects itself, housing is going to drop another 50% or so. Then we’ll really have a problem. The only thing keeping it up is the cheap credit funded by deficit spending, and Fed money printing, and (about to go hyper) inflation. The longer we kick the can, the bigger the collapse will be. That’s a fact, jack.

You said...
“Obama will not finish his term’

I disagree. His ego is too big

If it gets the tyrant removed, I pray you are right. If he gets another 4 years and keeps the RAT machine in congress going, we are finished. I am not optimistic.
People Aren’t Smart Enough for Democracy to Flourish, Scientists Say
The democratic process relies on the assumption that citizens (the majority of them, at least) can recognize the best political candidate, or best policy idea, when they see it. But a growing body of research has revealed an unfortunate aspect of the human psyche that would seem to disprove this notion, and imply instead that democratic elections produce mediocre leadership and policies.
The most incompetent among us serve as canaries in the coal mine signifying a larger quandary in the concept of democracy; truly ignorant people may be the worst judges of candidates and ideas,

“Which is why I’ve said, for two years now - and feel stronger about it today - that Obama will not finish his term.”

I have thought that as well but am not sure how it will all play out - there are so many scandals brewing, any of which could topple him. Fast & Furious, the increased scrutiny of his background, the Brietbart tapes...coupled with continuing high gas prices and the uptick in unemployment numbers for February which the media will bury...

The irony is that Obama was never anything more than a convenient pawn in the hands of those who pull his strings but he is too arrogant to realize it. When they finally try to throw him under the bus, it could get interesting!

There won't be enough time.

Right now, the economy is going swimmingly. So much so, that RINO pundits like George Will have already conceded victory to Obama. Obama will be cruising to the Convention.

But by the time reality sets in, it will be too late to put a different nominee in place. And, even if they succeed in doing it, it won't matter, not least because the peeps will stay home.

That's when we take over and swing a wrecking ball into eight decades of social progress.

Me too. The same thing that got us into this mess - the electorate voting their wallets - could give us a reprieve. For a year or two.
