"If we can make it to 2012 and actually be able to hold free and fair elections, I would think that the economic realities of a spread-the-wealth, bail-everyone-out policy would likely result in Obama and his Congressional mischief-making allies being put out to pasture for a long time."

Which is why I'm convinced Obama and the RAT Congress won't waste any time trying to change the rules so "free and fair elections" will mean ones where only they win.

I bet he'll ‘rule’ by Executive Orders’ which to my understanding usurps the Constitution. Lincoln did it during the Civil War when he suspended habeas corpus ...

Obama is taking it nice and easy now, to keep things calm, compared to what he will do after inauguration. Both Hitler and Lenin moved with lightning swiftness to consolidate their grip on the forces of government, and the rest was history.

I see no reason to believe Obama will delay his agenda or waste his time on gradualism. Expect a severe crisis this year, as Biden told us, and be ready for structural change. A year from now the US gov will look very different.

I feel this is becoming less and less likely, and I don't feel I'm alone. CNN aired a piece where the first 2100 voter registrations in Lake County (IN) out of 2100 submitted by Acorn are fraudulent. Each such incident lowers belief in the system. Eventually, you get to the point where someone says enough and the system is taken over by some other force. Local gov'ts better clean this up in a hurry or people are going to start taking things into their own hands.

The advantage to Obama is to act swiftly and overwhelmingly. MSM are too dumb to realize what is going on as are our Congressmen, those who genuinely want to preserve our Republic.

The real threat is if we have a Reichstag fire that allows Obama to put through legislation that wouldn’t otherwise be supported. The Civilian National Security Force(CNSF) would make sense to too many people at that point.

The 911 truthers for example are a goldmine in that sense. Around 40% of Democrats believe 911 was an inside job. Arrest Bush, Hillary and others as part of an investigation into this and he would have accomplished a great deal of what a dictator would need. Hillary and other Democrats would give him non-partisan cover and remove a rival. Whatever general he needed removed could be, Senators, etc. It would also give a good excuse to distance America from Israel.

Fifth, since the Bush admin. is spending trillions, Obama will argue that Bush gave bailout money to “fat cats” and swindlers, it’s only fair that he gets to spend a bunch too. It’s amazing how Bush, perhaps unintentionally (but the fact that he stopped ICE arrests for 3 days to protect Obama’s illegal aunt makes me wonder), cleared a path for Obama.
