Barring several series of near seizure-like corrections, Barack Obama will take the Presidential oath of office in January of 2009. It will be a cold January morning, his beautiful wife and daughters will be by his side and they will shiver as he places his hand on the Bible and swears to uphold the Constitution of the United States . His presidency that will follow, if reflective of anything at all of his legislative record, will then seek to dismantle that same Constitution.
I have a long track record of predictions on Obama, and all of them have come true. I have no reason to believe that this one will conclude any differently.
There are reasons that this event is destined to take place, and given the option of knowing them but remaining silent or mentioning them in the hope that the scene I've just mentioned never comes to path - I choose the latter. If any of these were to take significant turns, the formula might collapse. This is given the fact that the nation will be in a holding pattern for the next two years with absolute gridlock on pretty much everything (with the possible exception of amnesty for illegal aliens.)
RAGING LIBERALS - In 2006 the message of the voters was not Ned Lamont. Rather it was the " Crash Dummy Class of '06. " Democrats who looked, and tried to talk like people of faith - at least long enough to get elected. George Soros, the Daily Kos, Al Gore, Susan Sarandon, and not to be forgotten Howard Dean, have made their go at it. They failed. But since their party won the midterms - they believe they've been justified. Their anti-American rhetoric will increase. They will express dissatisfaction with Pelosi/Reid and demand an increased presence in the 2008 picture. The democratic primary voter will reject this increased extremism and look for a "consensus builder." They will long for someone who is "above the Frey." Obama will fit that profile and will bring "together" the left and right in his own party. He will do it with a sense of style, smoothness, and humor - a stark contrast to Hillary, Gore, Kerry, et al.
DIGUSTED CONSERVATIVES - Still reeling from the "ginormous" let down of the Senate under Bill Frist, and the second term Presidency of George W. Bush, normally energized conservatives will look to a field that offers a pro-choice/pro-gay mayor from New York, a Mormon from Massachusetts - who was pro-choice/pro-gay but genuinely seems now not to be - but may have hired illegal aliens, blah blah blah, or John McCain (whose single biggest problem is that he IS John McCain.) Normally eager "tax-cutting, government shrinking, let's defend our nation, pro-life, pro-family" voters, organizations, and leaders will be assaulted with speeches on Romney's health care reform, or Giuliani’s crime initiatives, or John McCain. Whoever emerges, will have not one tenth the oratory skills of Obama and they will come off looking as tired, dry, and stale as day-old toast.
EXHAUSTED MODERATES - Are tired of the stale toast, and be looking for anything exciting. Mind you moderates by definition don't truly stand for anything so it doesn't really matter what the candidate stands for. These people voted for Kennedy, Reagan, and Clinton all based on one thing, "how does he make me feel?" Realizing this Obama will be a lightening rod on the campaign trail. He will draw record crowds for every appearance he makes (something he's already begun to do.) Money will flow in as a result. Obama's strategy of talking about cooperation, sounding bipartisan, and seeming to curtly rebuke both sides of the aisle will seem to validate his "ability" to "stay above the Frey."
ENERGIZED BLACKS - Because the voices of great men like Bishop Harry Jackson will not yet have become distinct enough within American media, and because the media in ignoring the Bishop will instead return again and again to the alter of Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, the true voice for alternatives for black voters will not be heard. Instead, as the media is already doing, their will be near non-stop fawning over the Senator from Illinois as he flashes the big smile. Black voters, who in the majority vote for party and not conviction anyway, will see Obama as the personality that no one since Dr. King has been able to live up too. Obama will be invited to each and every significant black pulpit in America . He will rail with poetry, sing with soul, rhyme when appropriate, and never will the IRS even think of threatening even one of these houses of worship for illegal political action.
GULLIBLE EVANGELICALS - The most reliable base of voters for the Republican Party since the days of President Reagan have been the social conservatives. Church-going born-again Christians who believe in God, the importance of His word, and the significance of living out their faith in an open and compassionate way every single day have been the backbone of the GOP. This past Friday Rick Warren, through the implied endorsement of allowing Obama to speak at one of the largest evangelical churches in America gave Obama the opportunity to split evangelicals who will be misled by Obama's words instead of opening their eyes to his actions. In my gentle admonition to Rick Warren over the past couple of weeks I reiterated time and again that it was this opportunity being extended to Obama that would be manipulated by both the press , and Obama himself to pose as a "person of faith." Warren's stubborn action of insisting upon having Obama speak at Saddleback Church in southern California has had that exact effect.
From this point forward should the trend of any of these five areas shift significantly Obama's chances could be compromised. But there are credible reasons to believe that they won't be.
So mark this date down, because it is the first time anyone accurately predicted that Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States.
And you have no idea how much I hope this prediction does not come true!
Only RUDI can save us now !! /s
Over the past couple of months my mind has been boggled by the fits of euphoria being expressed by the MSM over this newcomer who has done apparently nothing of note.
But now I'm beginning to understand...
Don't forget to add, "current lunatics that never met a terrorist they didn't love and feel sorry for." Meanwhile, they demean our brave soldiers and anyone that is religious or patriotic. Yes, we're living in the Twilight Zone of insanity. Welcome aboard.
He is the only lib I am worried about.
Granted he has come up to fast. He is probably been oversold by the media that he cannot possible live up to expectations. But, then again he could be everything they say he is. If he does not crash and burn they could be playing, "Hail to the Chief to this man."
Will never happen...not in your lifetime or my kids. A name like that will never sit in the White House....his views are reflective of 5% of America and that is it.
He will go the same way Howard Dean did...all hype...or will be asked to join Hillary on a ticket which I am not even 100% she would do...since she is a big time closet racist.
Agree. The Dems need a black candidate in the primaries. Obama is far better than Sharpton. When push comes to shove, the Dems vote along racial lines in the primaries. Ask Mfume. The Dems had to come up with a white candidate after Mfume announced his candidacy. Imagine that a former Congressman and head of the NAACP could not even win the nomination in a state where more than 1 in 3 Dem voters are black.

Is this Obama person real? Never heard of him/her. I thought when I saw the name it was a joke or something. Where does a person with a name like 'Obama' come from anyway?
Obama did go to one of the top law schools...that's just what the country needs, another lawyer from an elite law school who knows better than the people what's good for them.
Osama Obama is another MSM phenomenom. They have decided Hillary has too much baggage and can't win so they will do everything within their power to make sure he is nominated. They know they can count on the far right to sit out the election if Rudi is nominated. He will be too liberal for them. After this last election, I realized that the far left kooks will be out in huge numbers but it doesn't take much to make a Republican, who has his.her feelings hurt, sit out to teach someone a lesson.
The editors at Townhall need to join him. What an atrociously written piece.
Obama takes office in Jan..The Revolution to start shortly thereafter....
I've been thinking the same thing. His charisma totally fits the Antichrist in the Left Behind Series.
This writer has envisioned a scenario that is already unfolding. Obama appeals to blacks who do not realize he is of Muslim Arab descent--ironically descended from the African Arabs who captured and sold Africans as slaves. They do not realize that although many Africans are Muslim, the Muslim hierarchy despises the black Muslims ans looks down on them. I read that the Arabic word for black and slave is the same.
He has a smooth stage presence. I have started my own little campaign to let people know he is Muslim. I don't care what he calls himself, now. He will revert when powerful enough.
vaudine
People on our side somehow believe that the mere act of stating the guy's full name is a magic incantation that will torpedo his political career. Bizarro.
Not likely.
"...meanwhile....they demean our brave soldiers..."
not only that; they destroy their morale in an insidious and odious
manner, all the while denying it and proclaiming that they are for peace.......
(peace to a communist swine is the absence of opposition to their point of view and allies...in this case, islamo-fascists.)
More likely, Presidnt Bayh.
Why would he even give such an offer a second thought since he is being so wildly supported by the MSM and the GOP is virtually void any candidate the majority of registered Republicans will vote for and many are threatening to vote third party, a sure win for the Dem running in '08?
