When (if?) Obama loses, what will be the explanation?
Orange Punch the political commentary blog of the Orange County Register ^ | 6-11-2012 | Mark Landsbaum

The standing argument of the Barack Obama supporters since his entry into national politics has been that the guy is so good, only a bigot could oppose his election.

So when (if?) Obama is defeated in November, what will the Obama defenders and loyalists say?

“If Barack Obama loses re-election, he can blame bigoted white voters,” James Taranto writes at the Wall Street Journal’s Best of the Web.

The DHS thing is a long-term pre-approved contract. They’re not going to buy them all at once but when they do buy them the paperwork will have already been done for the purchase. This way saves millions in administrative costs and is actually a very practical and sensible thing to do.

I’m not worried about “what they will say” but I am worried about what Obama will do from November to January as a communist lame duck president.

I can only imagine he thinks he’ll be able claim “martyr” status by blaming his defeat on racists. That way, he can believe it’s not his fault. Narcissism and persecution complexes go hand in hand.

If he didn’t have that “out”, I can see him pulling a “you can’t fire me, I quit” and resigning before the election results are final :)

The day may come where we have to operate under Rule 308 instead of old Rule 303!

There are far too many parenthetical remarks in that screed for me to comprehend it. Sounds like more quivering-under-the-bed paranoia about Zero canceling the elections and instituting martial law.

As I’ve said before, I think that 90 Million American gun owners would have a slight objection to that.

Why would the DHS be buying half a trillion bullets?

600,000 Armed services personnel.
90,000,000 Armed civilians.

You do the math...

If they call you racist for not supporting Obama, just act incredulous and say “Obama is black?!?! No way! I thought he was Hawaii’an. Now that I know, I back him 100%” and see how they react.

And if you really want to convince them of your political correctness, you'll make sure to spell Hawai'ian with the apostrophe. Libs love it when you're linguistically correct when spelling or pronouncing foreign names, etc.

Yep. Every time I see a post like this, it serves well as a reminder to not get behind in ammo. I do not live in a target rich area, so may not be all that bad.

“When (if?) Obama loses, what will be the explanation?”

Why, racism, of course.

What other reason could there possibly be?

Should Romney, the RNC and the right wing PACs outraise Obama, etal. then the DEAFENING SHOUTS of RAAAAAACISM will be somewhat off set by the whining complaints of a “bought” election.

Otherwise it’s going to be racism ‘round the clock.

Maybe for the rest of our lives. {sigh}

It’ll still be worth it though.

Who cares?
I will just forget he ever existed and enjoy the rest of my life.

So long as he retires permanently to Kenya. Michelle will eventually feel "proud" of that hell hole, too.

In parallel, whispers abound that Obama has a plan to FABRICATE an assassination attempt on himself, then in the name of “national security” and the ensuing STAGED street demonstrations and clashes by his supporters suspend the Constitution, postpone elections, declare martial law and rule by decree.

There is a profound irony in that paragraph.

Am I the only one to see it?
