Good to hear from Den Beste again

[Steely Tom]

I believe Obama will be far more inept and disorganized than Clinton was, and believe me I know that’s a pretty high standard to meet.

The infighting between the factions which supported him will be epic. The bus will rise until the rear wheels spin in midair.

Way too much optimism this morning. Obama has the house and senate in his control.......

[pgkdan]

The President of the United States is the most powerful political figure in the world, but as national executives go his powers are actually quite restricted. Obama will become President, but he won't be dictator or king, let alone deity. He still has to work with the House and the Senate, and he still has to live within Constitutional restrictions, and with a judiciary that he mostly didn't appoint.

Wrong on every count. The House and Senate will do his bidding or they will be dealt with. Pelosi and Reid will be faithful minions or they will be replaced.

The one has already referred to our Constitution and a charter of negative rights and called it outdated and unsuited to deal with our needs today. The Judiciary can rule any way it likes. Can it enforce it's rulings? Obama has promised a civilian paramilitary force as well trained and as well funded as the military. Picture Black Panthers in Uniform...think they won't be able to handle a couple of renegade judges?

Too bad I have to wait until January to have my mortgage paid for. Oh, and as I live in a rural area, I want my free broadband Internet as well.

I can't wait until the rich people get soaked as well.

[Uncledave]

Not a bad read, but this is pure nonsense

5. There will eventually be a press backlash against Obama which will make their treatment of Bush look mild.

Not the End of the World

No, but I believe I can see it on the horizon from here.

Well, at least till he implements a strategy of "do what I want or I'll foment riots..."

[apt4truth]

“and he still has to live within Constitutional restrictions”

Well if he has to do that then he won’t ever be president of the USA. He was born in Kenya. He is not a natural citizen of the USA.

I am hoping for an officer's position in the Civilian National Service Force. Cuz the uniforms are so snazzy.

[Phlap]

It is not the end but it is the start of the end.

"has to live within Constitutional restrictions"

LOL, yea right. Say good-bye to (what is left of) the Constitution being the law of the land. We just elected a Marxist and he will rule like a Marxist, the Constitution be damned.

The left in total control of everything can do anything that they want on all of the issues, and they don’t care if it’s illegal or unconstitutional! When the majority of voters in the U.S. end up saying, “Up yours!” to both the entire U.S. Constitution and the entire Bill of Rights, then it really is all over! Conservatives can spend the rest of their lives believing that this is only a temporary setback that will correct itself in two years, in four years, in six years, in eight years...,but they are not really seeing things exactly like how leftists see things! Leftists will change things so that they have political power forever, because that’s what the left does at each and every turn when given the opportunity to do so! Most conservatives will continue to fight the fight, but they will just as equally not realize that it’s forever over for them. Conservatives play by the rules, while leftists don’t!

[Warhammer]

Thanks for a breath of sanity. I’m looking at this administration as Son of Carter. We survived him, we’ll survive this guy. Will it be painful? Probably. Will we learn from it? Too early to tell.
