I believe that they will.

I predicted some time ago, these people are not giving up power legally. IOW, you are not going to vote them out of office.

If voter fraud and intimidation do not look like they will be successful, they will manufacture a crisis to restrict civil liberties.

I am of the opinion that Hussein does not possess the sharp intellect and abilities that the media etc are so desperately trying to convince us he has. There are some very powerful entities behind BO, and I believe that they view him as no more than a tool, a means to an end. They will not look favorably on him if the socialist train starts slowing down too much.

It's the "it all counts toward 30" government employees that I worry about. "My career and family" come first.

How many government employees would act against fellow citizens solely on orders and without grounds for legal action? Not many I hope. But it won't be that simple. Never was but this time there will be no courts to make amends.

I have been saying that I fear Obama will be martyred and that will start a massive race war and the socialists in power will have another manufactured crisis that is so important to the movement. Obama is not as important to “the cause” as one would think. He would be much more important as the martyr. Such things have happened all throughout history.

This is a cut-and-paste from a NYT interview:

“It is true that as tough an economic time as it is right now, we haven’t had 42 months of 20, 30 percent unemployment. And so the degree of desperation and the shock to the system may not be as great. And that means that there’s going to be more resistance to any of these steps: reforming the financial system or reforming our health care system or doing something about energy. On each of these things — you know, things aren’t so bad in the eyes of a lot of Americans that they say, We’re willing to completely try something new.

But part of my job I think is to bridge that gap...”

AND...

"I knew even before the election that this was going to be a very difficult journey and that the economy had gone through a sufficient shock and that it wasn’t going to recover right away.

In some ways it’s liberating..."

My belief is that these words make it clear that the "Great Recession" was planned, and intentionally worsened, and will be further worsened, until all of his agenda is passed.
