This means there is nothing to stop a “Manchurian Marxist” from taking over almost total control of the American economy.

Not exactly working out that way is it?

Hello? Where have you been when Obama took over the automobile industry, banks, insurance? Where were you when he got Cap and Trade passed through the House of Representatives regulating virtually every industry in America and imposing the biggest tax increase in the history of the Republic-lacking only passage in the Senate? Where were you when he passed a three quarter trillion dollar porkulus package? Where were you when he busted the budget?

Do you want to rethink your reply?

Too much unrealistic doomsday talk last year.

What do you want, a celebration?

Where are your posts from before the election?

I mean nothing personal against you, that post was the typical hysteria here and on talk radio last year. That was Bush (a republican president) that took over automobile industry, banks, insurance and handed them to Obama. Bush also passed (at least signed and promoted) a similar stimulus last year that didnt work either, a little less than half the size of the Obama one but still loaded with crap and all debt. And the republican candidate McCain called for Cap and Trade too. So the 'if Obama wins...doomsday' talk falls flat.

Cap and trade died in the Senate. It would have passed if McCain was president. Your post predicted nothing would stop Obama from signing bills, not that the house would pass stuff that would die in the Senate. It's both the stimulus and the cap and trade failure that are making it so hard for Obama to get health care now. Your post didnt predict a train wreck after a few months.

I tried to warn republicans that Obama would win, try some big stuff, face a backlash, then get stuck. It wasnt rocket science but it contradicted the popular talking points.
