If you're reading this, you've almost made it through the Obama years. God knows it hasn't been easy holding on this long. If you're like me, there were days you felt as if you'd aged ten years, just trying to bitterly cling to your leaky life raft.
Maybe you're one of the 23 million Americans who are unemployed, under-employed, or who have given up looking for work. Who can blame you for despairing, when two-thirds of the jobs in the last four years have gone to new immigrants, many of them illegals?
But don't worry if, like one out of six Americans, you're sinking into poverty -- after all, Obama assures us that "the private sector is doing fine."

Ever notice how those very popular, weekly employment figures never put food on anybody’s table?
Ms. Paul nails it.
LOL! If you really think so!

Yes, You Can
Pay attention folks because there will be a test, and if you fail this one, you die.
The Federal Government went from spending $53 billion in 1980 to $850 billion last year on health care. It cannot continue to run a 9.3% annual expansion rate on expense as that doubles every 7 years and change. The government cannot keep its promise to leave Medicare unmolested for all those 50 and over; to do so it would have to spend nearly $14 trillion a year for a 50 year old person by the time they’re 85. That’s roughly four times the entire federal budget today.
Obama passed Obamacare which protects these health monopolies and cost-shifts that led to this explosion in expense. Mitt Romney passed Romneycare in Massachusetts which also protected these explosions in expense. Neither candidate, if elected Tuesday, will fix it.
Either Granny eats it or the medical industry eats it. Either way there’s a Depression. It is mathematically impossible to grow out of this. But if Granny eats it she’ll fill the government full of lead, and the government knows this. Since they won’t pull the monopoly supports and let the market force the medical industry to eat it, there is no political solution — only a cliff.
When the cliff comes, and it will come, if you’re dependent on the medical system for your alleged “health” (or worse, your life) you will be done. This is not speculation, it is fact. Your options are to do something about it now, while you still can, or it will be too late. Never mind that if the cities and towns across this country go feral at some point Zombieland style cardio capacity may become a matter of literal life and death.
Mayor Bloom-bong-face just demonstrated for you the utter incompetence of “regulation” in health care. Two hospitals in NYC with allegedly protected power — utterly necessary for people on ventilators and other powered devices — had their so-called “protected power” fail during a storm. There was no proactive 24-hour requirement for testing as the storm approached and no proactive requirement to protect fuel supplies from flooding. Your risk of dying due to this malfeasance was off-the-charts high if you were in one of those hospitals during Sandy. Your only defense against this malfeasance is not to be there.
Less than 2 years ago I had a body mass of 210lbs. I was a “fat old bastard”, to be blunt. I cut the carbs out of my diet and stopped putting refined sugars and hydrogenated oils in my pie hole. I also got off my fat ass. The first few months I thought it was going to kill me, but I kept doing it. When I started I couldn’t jog for a half-mile without being completely winded and trashed. I used my “Google-Fu” and typed in “Couch-to-5k” and followed it. My total required investment was a pair of shoes and a watch that had a stopwatch function. I did get a bit more fancy; I also downloaded “Myfitnesspal” on my phone and bought a GPS watch with a heart strap so I could track my progress, but that’s not really necessary. When my knees and ankles complained about carting around all that extra weight while trying to run I split the time between jogging and a bicycle.
Almost exactly one year ago, eight months into the above, I had lost fifty pounds. I still eat pretty much the same way — no refined sugars (at all) and damn few carbs. I cheat once a week, but otherwise it’s veggies, a few fruits, meats, dairy and fish, not necessarily in that order. No hydrogenated crap (butter is butter and is fine, not margarine) and no garbage. If I get hungry I grab some broccoli and munch on it. The joint complaints are pretty much gone, but so is the 50lbs of extra body mass, and it has stayed off. Running 5ks is no longer hard. 10ks are now doable for fun; yeah, the last mile still sucks, but I can do them and typically do twice a week.
Obama will know his time hath been cut short and he will be filled with great wrath.
“Our Long Obama Nightmare Is Almost Over”
or
Our Long Obama Nightmare Is Just Beginning ...
“Our long Obama nightmare is almost over”.
The nation is counting on it.
When you read this it makes you realize that anyone who supports this POS is a domestic enemy of the Republic. Ignorance is no excuse.

Absolutely right. And how shall such enemies be treated?
i cannot stand pundits.
while the rest of us are out campaigning these final 54 hours, some geek is telling us it is almost over. Kiss my arse it’s almost over. The final push is just beginning.
Perfectly stated!!!
When hussein loses, the next two months will contain 4 years of hell compressed. Revenge and vindictiveness will mark the narcissists actions.
That which supports Obuggery must be sterilized and there are no exceptions!!
Good question. As much as I'd like to see them and their assanine ideas publicly pilloried, I'd suggest an adult but firm response.
Your ideas are wonderful, but they just don't work. They work even less with this economy. Let's get serious, please. Fantasy is not reality, so we're asking you to join us in realville. 60% + of Americans like America as it is. You're welcome to find some country where you're more in tune. We especially suggest women move to the middle east.
Re: Obie’s lame duckiness. Frightening, but as conventional wisdom has been wrong so often in this campaign, I wonder what he’d try to do that wouldn’t be immediately undone. Doesn’t a landslide mandate that he stand down. Remaining dems will have to live with the consequences.
For the life of me I cannot understand how Obama could be above 30% in the polls. When you look at the economy, the dislike of Obamacare, his treatment of Israel, Catholics, etc., etc., refusal to make America energy independent, handling of terrorists at Club Gitmo, his terrorist pals, his association with Muslim Brotherhood, geez, the list is endless!
It is very scary to think that people are so blinded by their idealogy that they would actually give this dangerous man another four years.
For the sake of your country and mine, and the rest of the world, I hope this nightmare is almost over.
When Obama is a lame duck, the Republican led house will be the firewall to stop any of his legislative BS. The executive orders and beauracratic decrees can all be reversed with a stroke of the pen, if Romney will do so.
I remember the heady days when the just-elected BO was enjoying 70 percent approval ratings and, without having lifted a finger, received the Nobel Peace prize.
There was an oasis of sanity, however - Free Republic. Now reality has bitten deeply, and the foolish have learned what Freepers knew from the beginning. .
It’s not yet over.
