Obama's tax plan is going to cripple businesses and cause more unemployment.
His unwillingness to drill our own oil is going to bring back the high gas prices, plus leave us vulnerable to middle east manipulation.
His policies to coddle Iran and Muslim radicals is going to leave us open to an attack far greater than the one on 9/11/2001.
Some will argue that the U.S. military cannot take on another mission. Our ground forces are stretched thin. But a bombing campaign or a naval blockade would tax the Air Force and Navy, which have relatively more capacity, and could utilize the 1,500 U.S. military personnel in nearby Djibouti.
Others will insist that, without the consent of the United Nations or a relevant regional body, we would be breaking international law. Perhaps, but the Security Council recently codified a new international norm prescribing "the responsibility to protect." It commits U.N. members to decisive action, including enforcement, when peaceful measures fail to halt genocide or crimes against humanity.
This genocide has lasted three long years. Peaceful measures have failed. The Sudanese government is poised to launch a second round. The real question is this: Will we use force to save Africans in Darfur as we did to save Europeans in Kosovo?
It will start like Iraq did with no-fly zones.

When 30 million new dedicated Democrat/Socialist voters show up for the next Congressional elections, the United States of America will cease to exist, at least as anything remotely resembling what my ancestors fought to establish in the Revolutionary War.
The probable choices of what we will look like at the end of that road is either Britain or Mexico, but we WILL be a "democratic socialist" country with a "parliamentary democracy"---AT BEST. I suspect that the Hugo Chavez model is attractive to the "big O" and his Marxist minions and mentors.
Frankly, CBB, I think the danger to the Constitution is real but isn’t 100%. Hussein still, thankfully, doesn’t have a bulletproof majority in the Senate.
I know it is tenuous, but IF the Republicans can hang together (will Joe LIEberman join them?) in the Senate, they can stave off the worst of the Marxist leanings the Democrat party embraces.
Two years...two years until another election. We need to get our bearings and keep the monster that is socialism from gaining more power.
To RINOs; ignore this post.. for you will be quite at ease with whatever party is in control.. as you bend over to accept anything "they" do as positive.. being cowards like you are..
Sorry, he is not my president. He is not an America. He was elected through false representation. He will be a person in the White House placed there by questionable people who want to destroy the Republic.

Like FDR, Obama will blame the results on his predecessor - and the media will echo and enshrine it.
What upsets me beyond my ability to express it, is that so many people could be so blind to what this ‘enemy-from-within’ plans to do to the very fabric of our Nation and voted for him. Shameful ... and a lot of other words I won’t post.
thanks Congressman Billy Bob....I awoke this morning with great heaviness thinking about future court appointments under the Dems...when my daughter first got out of law school she was a staff attorney with the 11th Circuit down in Atlanta....so I heard first hand the stories of the Clinton appointees and the Carter appointees before that....with Obama we will see judges in his likeness...lightweights with no judicial experiance....hope I’m wrong.

President Obama: How Bad Will It Be?
As bad as most of us sitting here in the comfort of our homes understand it to be, can you imagine how bad it must seem to our men and women fighting in the wars around the world?
They now serve for a person that has no faith in their mission, their duty, or them as the defenders of America.
They serve under a Socialist for the first time in our Nations history.
I can not begin to imagine the horror that these brave men and women feel and how turned on by the people that they defend they must feel.
How does Obama propose to deal with this situation? He proposes protectionist foreign trade policies
this is my biggest fear: that even conservatives will go along with this and start a war with China.
Kool-Aid drinkers who are gloating at me today and will continue gloating until Oba Mao's agenda becomes apparent will get only a terse question in response: Who is John Galt?
Iran is more troubling, but Obama's difficulty is his promise to respect the feelings of our allies. Well Sarkozy is the unofficial leader in Europe and he is adamant about a non nuke Iran. Obama may have to follow Europe in this regard.
His tax policies and especially the cap gains and dividend increases could be very bad news if people begin pulling their money out of the market and look for the tax free return of state and local bonds. The market could tank and that would lead to serious results, but it would play into the Congressional Dem hands of constructing a command economy.
Which leads to your last point. I think the dangers to the Constitution are paramount, given Obama's self described criteria for Justices. he will replace at least three with young activists who are determined to create a central, not federal govt, with the power to accomplish what they believe to be the Good. The Constitutional obstacles to this goal will be removed, leaving the U.S.A., at best, a Centralized European Socialist Democracy where the people's rights are no longer protected by the govt., but given by the govt.
I think Obama will be the first president to get approval ratings at the single-digit level. Harry, Nancy and Obama are the stupidest group of leaders at our most critical time since WW II. I predict they fail catastrophically.
Electing this moron will also cause harm to African Americans as this may create a stigma that would prevent highly more qualified AA from obtaining this office. What we have is Barack Obama :The Affirmative Action President. I hope those that elected him suffer the most by his policies which are doomed for failure.

Only one thing:
It usually takes about 18 to 24 months for congressional action to translate into the economic reality that follows. If Obama and his collaborators in the Congress get their economic agenda accomplished early, the depression should be in full force for the next elections.
