After last night, it became obvious to me that democrats didn’t beat the Republicans. Republicans beat themselves. Either Republicans evaluate what and who they are and what they represent or the people need a third party. Now is the time to decide or let everything go to hell. I believe that the voters are going to regret what they have done. One thing they can do is refuse to ratify any changes to the Constitution. They must wait and see the long term effects of what Obama’s decisions are.

Either over a nuclear Iran, or as a result of an induced revolt in Pakistan, we are likely to be in a global war with the Muslims within a year of Obama being sworn into office.

Nope, there won't be a war. At least with the US. Obama is going to leave his brothers alone and they are going to leave him alone. They're going to do horrible things worldwide, but they won't mess with the US too much because they know that an Obama Presidency is the best thing that could ever happen to them.

That is my feeling, too. I will not watch or particpate in his inauguration or watch one newscast on TV, except the weather channel for at least two years.

Welcome to the first affirmative action president. 183 days experience in a Senate Office. Assisted by a rampant and uncontrolled left wing media and a dishonest campaign bought and paid for by hostile sources and voted in large part by thousands, if not millions , of voters who can’t tie their own laces. They get the government they deserve. as for thr rest of us, we live to fight another day.

I suppose it’s time to join the John Birch Society.

We’re in so much trouble. This goes beyond our comprehension of anything we can imagine.

Why will we be in a war with the Muslims. We’ve got a muslim in the white house who will simply surrender.

Visualize Obama standing outside of Air Force one just after his returning from his important meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (hastily arranged after Iran wiped Israel off the map) proclaiming peace in our time.

Any bets as to how long it will take Ruth Bader-Ginsberg to hand in her retirement papers? She’s been hanging by a thread despite ill-health in hopes of at Dem president.

There is an ‘extra-dimension’ to Afghanistan that doesn’t exist in Iraq: Afghanistan has always been a NATO operation. Whenever NATO is involved there are always “other considerations” besides domestic politics.

I agree that Obama will likely fold a strong hand in Iraq, but Afghanistan is not ‘automatic’.

I heard the same quote from Bill Federer.
It is now time to take back the GOP, or actually start a viable party. One not beholden to anything but what is right. Ahh, the oath to the constitution.I took it, and still maintain it.

I'm afraid you're right on how bad it will be. My question: With the Affirmative Action President, will we learn from the first term?

My guess is that nothing will stick to The One. A mild recession that gets worse? The media will say, "that's the Bush Recession - imagine how bad it would have been if we didn't have Obama spreading the wealth to cushion the effects." A war that spreads to more uncivilized countries? The media will tell us how much better off we are with The One keeping it from spreading further. Trampling the Constitution? The media will claim that the Court is doing its job by giving special protection to the weakest among us. I doubt that anyone will realize what it means to set the precedent that the actual words in the Constitution mean nothing, at least not until too late.

Odds of a new Great Depression as a result of Obama becoming President, 70 percent, though it may take more than a year to become evident to the editors of the NY Times

Even then, they will blame the depression on Bush and the Republicans and suggest, or better still, demand, that the Obama policies that created the depression be extended because they were "the only things keeping it from being worse".

In short, the standard narrative will be that everything that goes well will be proof of Obama's near-deity status and everything that goes wrong will still be the fault of Bush and the GOP, and thankfully Obama saved us from it being worse.

I will be prepping for the next attack. Comfortable shoes for work, making sure my medications for b.p. and diabetes are in my pocket book and making sure my children, although they are adults, find one another and stay together.

I’m curious as to why you ranked permanent damage to the Constitution last in importance. Did you perhaps substitute “decreasing” where you meant “increasing”? Wars and depressions come and go, but the Constitution is a transcendent document. IMHO, it’s destruction is the greatest threat of the Obamer Oddministration.

The Brits already want to bring in the Talis and the others don’t count. Some of the NATO contingents, the Canucks, the Danes, and the Dutch have been first rate troopers, but their govts see no benefit to killed in action notices in their press. A decent interval, to reprise a phrase from Kissinger, will be given and then out we’ll go. To be replaced in the region by???? Putin???

My greatest fear in the near term is the next terrorist attack on our soil (it is coming) and Obama’s response.

“The Affirmative Action President” - that’s three of us who have used the name, and I think it’s a perfect fit. It’s truthful and dismissive, which is just the right start for the four years of hell that The One is going to try to put free Americans through. I hope and pray that he will have enough problems and scandals to keep him too busy to implement much of his socialist agenda, and relentless attacks against the “The Affirmative Action President” and imeediate questioning of his motives and qualifications for each item on his agenda (see the past 8 years for an example) are a good start.
