Many voters had concerns over McCain winning due to their fears that, as old as he is, were he to become for any reason unable to fulfill his duties as president, that would have left his VP, Sarah Palin, in the Oval Office. Their concern was her supposed dangerous “inexperience.”
Whatever your views on Palin’s experience, one thing is certain; her years as Mayor, then Oil Commissioner, then as Governor, provided her with tests of her executive abilities and delegatory skills which she quite obviously passed. Of all the myriad barbs slung her way by her often rabid detractors, none has ever even hinted at incompetence.
On the other hand, Barack Hussein Obama was elected president after never having been gainfully employed at any real job. A drooling, fawning, asleep-at-the-wheel national media enabled him greatly in this quest, by never once bringing up the subject of his absolute lack of leadership or executive experience. His first two elected offices were handed him by all of the other candidates being driven from the ballot, leaving Barack to swoop in uncontested. The kid-glove softballs lobbed gently his way during the presidential campaign pretty well facilitated his saucy saunter up the White House steps without really breaking a sweat there, either.
In every instance since his election (Coronation?) when his leadership abilities have been tested, he has fallen flat on his smug, petulant face. His attempt to bring the Olympics to Chicago was laughably spat upon. His stumping for candidates in three big elections ending with Massachusetts all blew up in his face like an M-80 dropped in a fresh cow flop. Even his pathetic “first pitch” at the White Sox-Yankees game had him looking more like a limp-wristed, anemic little schoolgirl than a president. But his most glaring example, and the most devastating proof of his total lack of experience stares America in the face right now.
ObamaCare. He has chosen a path here that most idiots would know better than to embark upon.
If he loses the battle for the Health Care overhaul, he’s finished. All his political capital will have been spent, and he will be a pariah reeking of failure as the mid-terms approach. He will be shunned like the political leper he is; a president just beginning the second year of his first term left with only “lame duck” (lack of) status.
If he wins the battle for ObamaCare, he’s much worse off. Everyone in America (minus only the loony Liberal Extremist Fringe) will hate him with a palpable vengeance. The derision and scorn of a Nation will be his permanent legacy just over one year into his first, and only, term. This from a man hailed as one of the greatest minds, and most advanced thinkers of our generation. Barack and a hard place, indeed. So what is wrong with this picture?
I believe Bukkaki knows full well the truth of these points. And I believe he doesn’t care. Why else would the bill he’s ramming through contain language that makes it illegal for any current or future Congress to repeal or overturn it?
He quite obviously knows how unpopular it will be if it’s enacted. He knows the majority of America is dead-set against this becoming law, and he doesn’t care. Bukkaki thinks that if he gets this jammed into law, and then changes the rules surrounding our Supreme Court (make it a 15 Justice Court and pack it with Marxists), and removes the legal obstacles from Acorn receiving billions in Government funds, he need never again even consider what we ants think. He will be able to rule by fiat and damn the torpedoes. Heck, why not make “president” a lifetime position?
It is this level of disdain for the governed, by whose consent he is supposed to preside, which is the most telling proof of his inexperience. He believes he can get away with all of this because he has always gotten away with all of it. He has never experienced the door slamming in his face. He has never had to win those actual tough battles… you know; the kind that build character? He is so used to getting his way that he believes he always will. And he is grossly unprepared for being told “No!”
He’s got a lot to learn, and not much time to learn it in. Ideally, he would have learned these things before running for elected office. He has been so coddled and babied that he doesn’t even know the joy of real accomplishment, and that is sad. I say we give him the “tough love” he deserves, and watch him fold up like cheap lawn furniture. It’s the kindest gift we could give him. And, boy, does he have it coming in spades.

BTTT
Bukkaki. Quite the image....
KenyaCare WILL be rammed through. Now is the time for us to be planning the NEXT step — resistance. At this point EVERYTHING should be on the table. That includes secession and other history-making options.
No candidate will get MY vote in the fall who is not talking loudly about things like secession, impeachment and even a solution like the one we saw in Honduras when its president exceeded his authority.
Opposition to KenyanCare IS about INDEPENDENCE! It’s about FREEDOM and individual responsibility. It’s about saying “I will accept responsibility for MY OWN HEALTH” and “your health IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.”
It is about leaving ultimate health care decisions where they belong: WITH GOD! You are always free to PRAY TO DOCTOR GOD for healing. God’s healing can come through direct miracles or by God’s direction to charities and health care providers to help you.
Can’t pay the doc? maybe you should have planned better and saved your money or bought health insurance. If you didn’t, then, you’d better hope the doc FREELY CHOOSES to help you at no charge because you have ZERO claim on his services as a “right.” Otherwise, your next line of defense is charity — which should be REAL charity based on donations freely made and not FORCED taxation.
When all else fails, there is nothing to keep you from treating yourself for your own ailments. Making ME pay should not be on the table.
Bottom line: If you TRUST IN GOD, then you can be sure that He WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION and bring you what you need/deserve when you need/deserve it — even if it isn’t what you THINK you want.
Freedom always involves risk. And yes, some people will get more than others. But that is a SMALL price to pay for LIBERTY! We need to get the government 100% OUT of health care!
In the end, free people are called to live with the consequences of their OWN ACTIONS and the judgement of ALMIGHTY GOD. Government has NO RIGHT to interfere with that process!
Yes, I WOULD rather die than receive KenyanCare. Absolutely. God has more wisdom than all the death panels put together!
I intend it as the slang term which refers to a corrective rectal surgery that prevents one from crapping their drawers (most often required by jailhouse "bitches").
Yeah. Bukkaki O'Bunga. Has a real ring to it...
:-O
One of the advantages we would have gotten had Sarah been President is that she doesnt have near as many radical, communist,tax cheat,pedophile, terrorist defending, homosexual friends she could have appointed to high office, as Obama obviously has.
There’s a reason the left continues to rip her apart. They are scared of her and the experience she brings to the table...
Nobody wants their kids to have much less than they did growing up. One of the most devestating, dehumanizing forms of hunger is the hunger for liberty.
People who live their entire lives under the heel of a tyrant's boot are willing not only to strap bombs onto themselves, they will actually strap bombs onto their children if it gives them a chance to escape the crushing weight of living under tyranny.
God gave us free will, allowing us even to choose whether or not to accept His Son, Jesus. How can one exercise "free will" if one is not free? God intended us to be free. Nobody who has known freedom will ever be happy under the yoke of oppression, and the lumps this ass-chimp has coming are only as big and painful as is the betrayal of his Oath of Office and his betrayal of the Public Trust.
God help him, for God knows I won't.

Fear it will happen since they have the time to work out another avenue if they do not get the votes in the House. Even if they have to make new rules to get it to King Obama's desk, they will. The Democratic Party and his Administration will not follow our Constitution.
It should immediately be challenged and brought before the Supreme Court to be declared unconstitutional. Then we need to win big majorities in BOTH houses of Congress come November, so we can impeach his lying stank-ass.
;-/
Yes, and every day that passes is one less that O'Bunga has to screw things up, and one less until Sarah can shine like the sun. After 4 years of this Commie pantload, can you even imagine what a sensation of a huge weight being lifted from the shoulders of this nation it will be to have an actual Reagan Conservative back in the White House?
Our economy, our National image domestically, and our National image internationally, our U.S. currency bond rating, everything will change in that heartbeat when she is sworn in. Just seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is going to feel like that first warm day of spring after a particularly cruel and bitterly frozen winter.
Ahh, I can almost smell the crocuses and hear the chick-a-dees now...
Seriously, we'll enter a Renaissance period of National Pride that will stand this world on its ear! Even now the "behind the scenes" string pullers and power brokers think that Bukkaki O'Bunga was their last piece in the "One World Government" puzzle; the man who would finally break and bring low the Sovereign and mighty America.
One Worlders have lots of trouble during Renaissance Periods of fervent National Pride, especially when the country having the "Renaissance" also owns most of the world's guns... and nukes... They may even have to wait for the X-Box generation for another shot at finding America so weakened that they can make the next serious run at us.
At least this I pray.
;-/
In three short years from right now, she will already have been sworn in for over a month! Hold on, V. Just hold on.
Nobody can hold back the tide. Nobody. It will come in...
:-)
Boy isn’t that the truth. And keeping our children dumbed down is a big piece of getting our country on that road. I’m so glad my kids went to catholic school..I’d hate to have to raise kids in this day and age...
This has been the keystone in the "Progressive" Agenda for the last 60-80 years... keep graduating dumber and dumber kids until all that remains are ignorant sheep waiting for the orders from their Government Controllers.
Look at TV these days. The progressives will insist that it's just "art imitating life." Which fails, however, to explain why over half the new sitcoms, reality shows, etc., are strewn with homosexuals and reprobates. This in no way mimics real life, where such individuals represent fewer than 5% of the public.
Between "education," TV, rap music and movies, there is a carefully orchestrated effeort to de-sensitize America's youth to all sorts of horrific reprobate behavior, to make it seem "everyday" and "normal." To make the unacceptable "acceptable," and to brand anyone who speaks out against it as being guilty of "hate speech."
Look at the societal decline since abortion, single moms, removing God from our classrooms and making it illegal to spank your kids became "everyday." Chart all of it on a timeline graph, and the lines match up almost precisely.
It is no accident, nor is it a coincidence. It is the vile fruit of a grand scheme to destroy America, cut off at the knees the greatest country (and society!) in the history of the world, and render us ripe for subjugation into the coming One World Order.
The ass-chimp, Bukkaki O'Bunga's best buddy Andy Stern of SEIU, has openly stated that what is needed to solve all our problems is a single Global Governance.
Over my dead body, pantloads. Or perhaps I should say, over yours.

Very good points. Thanks.
