Did you see the colors his family. Red and black. You do not think those colors have any significance???

He’ll go commie as fast as the democrat house and senate will let him. Which could mean pretty fast.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

nah, he won’t go all Chavez. It will be slow transformation. I think he understands that he can’t really be who he truly wants to be but that he will use the radicals in the house to push his agenda. Welcome to the new axis of EVIL called POR (Pelosi-Obama-Reid) which will actually make many people Poor.

[taildragger]

They will overstep try to go incredibly fast as we melt their phone and fax line figuratively. A huge rally greater than the million man farce to protest the Fairness Doctrine or another point I can see happening as well. We won’t behave like the moonbats did with President Bush, but our civility (unless pushed) will be exemplary. At somepoint they will not be able to steamroll us, A John Galt type productivity strike would work for me... 1/2 the Doctors and Nurses and Engineers staying home for a month would get their notice.... They can’t fire us all, it would take some real B@lls to get 40% to do it, but a somepoint (especially if they touch our 410(k)’s) people just may say I have had enough....

[Man50D]

He’s already at that point.

[hershey]

Biden said we wouldn’t like what Hussein would do, but to stick with him. I wonder how long he has before articles of impeachment are introduced...and worse. We’re in for a rough time, so fasten your seatbelts.

[kjam22]

We’re going full socialism. It’s allready written and prophisied.

[ForbesFan]

He’s not stupid. He knows what happened to Bill Clinton after only two years, so I think he wants to control himself, but it will be hard. The consensus seems to be the country has not moved especially left, just that they are mad like they were in 1992. This is very similar to 1992.

[CanadianMusherinMI]

at first i thought quickly, but he did not get the “mandate” he was hoping for. the landslide, American unity bit he wanted.
if he wants a second run in 2012 he will need to moderate and go slow. he may even put the brakes (initially) on pelosi. there was a article on yahoo finance where he is already moving away from pelosi’s 401k plan (or appears that way) which i must say is a relief to a lot of folks. http://finance.yahoo.com/focus-retirement/article/106094/Obama-and-Your-Retirement?mod=retirement-preparation
at this point i am not seeing them moved to gras.
if he gets a second term, all bets are off..... but i was wrong about a mccain win. dammit. still say ACORN had its hand in the win. what ever we have going on in the courts needs to remain there, regardless of mccain conceding. voter fraud can not go unchecked.

[MrFred]

this was a good article on what we are likely to see

moving slowly....

[igoramus08]

Depends whether he was using Wright and Ayers or really is a Marxist. If he was using them, I think he will be a President Present and do nothing, then when the 4 years are up, he will go on the speech circuit and make lots of money.

[snowsislander]

Obama got where he is by playing it cool, Saul Alinsky-style (look him up on wikipedia) . Never showed his true thoughts on anything and always wore a tie. Speak moderately and don't frighten the squares. Will he suddenly go openly commie or will he keep up what has worked so far, moving slowly?

My guess is that he will go for the "fast" option.

As Senator Biden said, it's likely that our enemies are going to quickly challenge the callow Kenyan Clown.

He probably will flake out almost immediately on the international front, and will flail around domestically, attempting to institute as much socialism as he can convince Nancy Pelosi to provide.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few retreads, such as a Hillary-style "Commission on National Health Service" very early on.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Two procedural things to look for:

1) On the first day of the new Senate, rules will be adopted abolishing the filibuster or at least lowering cloture to 55 in order to render 43 or 44 Republicans irrelevant (...just like 1975 when cloture was lowered from 67 to 60 in order to render 38 Republicans irrelevant after the higher figure had been used to protect 35 Dixiecrats for decades. Coincidentally, it was a Speaker named Reed who eliminated the filibuster in 1886 in the House of Representatives.)

2) Illegal immigration will be ended by legalizing the 20 million illegals already here and opening the border to another 20-30 million Mexicans who will promptly register for welfare and to vote, permanently swamping the divided native White electorate.

[Heartland Mom]

Well, after he guts the military as he said he would, we will be sitting ducks and will be attacked. Then, to “save” us during this “crisis,” he will enact every Socialistic/Marxist program he has dreamed up. Or that his puppet masters have dreamed up. He is not the one pulling the strings. Follow the money.

[longtermmemmory]

I think we need to start working on the conservative agenda.

1. HEALTHCARE, why can’t we cross state lines for health insurance.

2. Voter fraud, sorry but one person one vote is not a class issue. One state per voters.

3. Social issues matter.

4. Cultivate REAL conservatives in our LOCAL races. Commissions, school boards, mayors and STATE bodies.

5. Get ready for REDISTRICTING! The census is in 2010. The rules for enumeration will be set by pelosi and reid.

6. EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION. Conservative principles start and finish with EDUCATING people. If we want to win elections we have to teach the principles and concepts that founded this nation. Little lessons yield big decisions.

[informavoracious]

Obama’s first order of business will be to get to work on his re-election in 2012. ‘Never his mind on where he was, what he was doing.’ In every ‘job’ he’s had, he’s spent the entire time preparing for his NEXT job. I think he’s scared witless. Campaigning is all he knows how to do.

[central_va]

States Rights, every red(gray) state Governor should push to the limits, their legal power to be autonomous states. Start standing up to federal courts, kick out the federal government out at every "legal" opportunity. Governors might close bases and replace them with state militias training facilities(probably not possible). Push it to the limit. It would only take one state to do this, i.e. Texas.

I can dream can't I.....

What do you say to people who look at him as the messiah and do not even have a clue as to the ightmare he brings.?
