The latest Rasmussen polls suggest that Obama's extensive record of accomplishment might not be enough to earn him another 4 years in the White House. Unfortunately, a defeat in November would still leave him with 2 1/2 months to do as much damage as possible before he leaves office
I'd like to throw a question out to my fellow FReepers:
What is Obama likely to do with his remaining power in order to "fundamentally transform" the United States? Will he be held back in any way by concerns over how the country views him afterward? Whereas Bill Clinton was obsessed with his legacy, I think Obama is more obsessed with achieving his leftist goals by any means necessary--legacy be damned.
A few ideas:
1) More Unreciprocated Concessions to Russia - This will surprise no one since our Quisling-in-Chief already telegraphed an upcoming betrayal in his "hot mic" moment with Medvedev. - MODERATELY LIKELY
2) Packing the Supreme Court - Some trial balloons have been floated around this one lately, but I think that's too audacious even for Obama. - UNLIKELY
3) Worst Pardons Ever - Leftist cretins shouting "Free Mumia!" are likely to get their wish from an embittered, racist President spending his final few days in office. Expect some of the worst people in the world to receive their Get out of Jail Free card in January 2013 - HIGHLY LIKELY
“The President has no pardon or commutation power over state convicts such as Mumia.”
Well, I did not know that. Thanks for straightening me out.
News to me as well. It’s always nice to find out a fear is unfounded.
Small arms treaty with the UN.
If Obama cancelled the election it would be the start of CW II, as states leave the union to form a new nation the CSA (Constitutional States of America) Texas would lead the way—Houston the new capital. Civil War would end the USA as a great power—and usher in a new world—maybe a better one.
I’m sure he’ll be packing...clothes and personal items for the move.
Perhaps not, but they sure as hell can be ignored! How's the UN going to enforce sanction's? Send in the "Blue Beret's"? What are a dozen troops from Sri lanka going to do, open a 7/11? If them try to fine us we just stop paying dues, that will make them stop and think.
US out of UN
UN out of US!

My experience with the black community, both in Chicago and elsewhere, suggests your fears are unfounded. Yes, there have been episodic acts of interracial violence, and there is an undertow of long-simmering malice. But many blacks are simply not radicalized enough to stage a full scale “Armageddon” over some failed Chicago pol, even if he is the first (or second) black president. The economic low end is preoccupied with the daily struggles of life in the hood, and the more well off are preoccupied with jobs and families like everyone else. The drive to do the work of a real revolution, with all the personal pain and privation that entails, simply isn’t there in any but a handful of hardcore militant activists, far less than the critical mass required for serious societal destabilization.
So if there IS a big disruption, the seeming beginnings of a real race war, I guarantee you, it will have been manufactured at some level. Not saying there wouldn’t be sympathizers in the black community, but most would rather watch it on tv than be part of it. Our objective should be to give them nothing to watch.
If only 1% of the urban black population takes up arms or otherwise seeks to create chaos, our cities would be unlivable. If AG Holder decides to let it slide for 2-1/2 months it might be a long time before it’s fixed.
More than 1% are already armed. The routine havoc on Chicago’s south side is legendary. But it’s been that way for near half a century. My dad was a high school principal in Chicago and so was my uncle. Murder once a week was the norm decades ago. I think it’s terrible, but it is almost all inwardly turned, and confined to known zones of high danger. Again, it will be too much work to for the regulars to coordinate and execute a street revolution. If such a thing happens, it will mean there are generals from outside involved, and a lot of smoke and mirrors, because the numbers just aren’t there. It will mostly be psych-ops. And the cool thing about psych-ops is if you see it coming, it just doesn’t work.
I know of one particular instance where there is no doubt in my mind that Clinton sold pardons in the 11th hour.
What the hell are you talking about? All he's accomplished, is widespread devastation to our country and its people.
You completely lost me with that sentence, friend.
That might well turn out to be the best thing he could possibly do for the country, as it would guarantee the commencement of the second Revolutionary War, and the final defeat and elimination of the leftist pestilence that afflicts America.
I almost hope he's foolish enough to try such a thing.
Maybe you can just wave a white flag. That oughta stop 'em.
Whites outnumber blacks by at least four to one, and you're warning them to take cover?
I hope you don't have ancestors that fought in the Revolutionary War. They'd be shamed by that comment.
Let them enforce it, if they can.
I think that 90 Million, law-abiding, American gun owners would strenuously object.
Yeah, because we all know that American patriots simply don't have the cojones to fight back...
*rolls eyes*

I really did not think I needed to include a sarcasm tag with that comment.
Quotation marks or italics would have sufficed. I actually stopped reading when I saw that sentence.
