Obama's Big Dilemma
American Sentinel ^ | November 7, 2008 | jay1949

Posted on 11/07/2008 4:45:50 AM PST by jay1949

The most interesting part of Barack Obama’s victory speech was when he said, “We may not get there in a year, or even in one term . . . ,” thus setting the stage to renege on his baseline campaign promises. Obama faces an immediate dilemma: either abandon his promises of higher taxes and more giveaways, risking a severe loss of adulation, or following through and risking an extended recession or an economic depression.

well the chosen one may say that it will take longer-but he better work fast because I don’t think his majority in the house and senate are going to be there, or be as large as they are the next two years.

The first and most important thing that needs to be done is for what’s left of the GOP on Capital Hill to get BHO on the defensive and keep him there.

Keep him tied up with SOMETHING...ANYTHING so that he has to constantly defend himself instead of actually pushing forward an agenda.

The Dims did this to W for most of the last 8 years.

If it can be shown that after 2 years BHO and Congress can’t make life better (as they promised) then the Conservative Movement will have a real opening.

HOW?......Campaign-style ads. Hitting BHO on EVERY issue he or the Dims bring up. If he can raise $650 million worth of lies, why can’t we raise jus as much with the truth?

four years is a long time to wait for that big reparations check

especially when under the Obamnation brain fried RFK-led EPA and newly created Algor Climate Czar office, the country’s energy supply decreases, prices skyrocket, people are freezing and brownouts occur nationwide as we are being told how patriotic we need to be to stop global warmiong

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Too bad we are forced to live in a socialist/communist state because of the stupids. I just hope every numb scull that voted for the obamanation finally realizes they will be waking up to USA that, overnight, turned into a USSR. God help us.

We did well considering Obama had and has the media in his pocket....if he is successful in silencing talk radio, we will never get our wobbly democracy back.

Where are you going to show those ads? Once the Fairness Doctrine (not called that, of course, and not nearly as “balanced” as it was in the 70s and 80s) is recreated, those ads will not be allowed on the air because the Government monitors will declare them inflammatory and one-sided and thus not suitable for broadcast.

That’s why we need to do it NOW. BEFORE any of that nonsense hits the Senate floor.

In fact, start with that issue and let the ads fly!

Since when did African American voters EVER hold their BS leaders to promises? African Americans would not be in the spot they're in if the EVER did. They are positively inured to betrayal-Mr. Hope and Change can fall flat on his face ( I suspect he will) and his 'supporters' will love it!!!!! What do they know (care) about accountability?

The stupids are not as self sufficient as we are, or need to become. There is still time to prepare.

Separation of your family’s resources from the stupids will become increasingly important.

True... it might take 3 or 4 terms.

Obama's Big Dilemma

Obama's big dilemma is the same as Lenin's: Forced reeducation or Red Terror?

It doesn’t matter what direction he goes. Demonrats live on lies. Lies and deceptions are what they have to present to people and they know the sheeple don’t follow politics and have no concern of their propagandists in the press exposing them or reporting anything damaging whatsoever. Just remember how unpopular Clintoon and the Demonrats were from 1992-94! The myth can now die as they have their permanent control and the foreign threats have come to a head. Clintoon let it build up under him and his incompetence didn’t quite show as it should, but it led to 9/11 and they fed the ChiComs missile technology which now leads to a more advanced China that is making hostile moves. With the GOP officially dead, the Demonrats are taking us down because it can happen no other way because they are so fundamentally wrong and are morally and character corrupt. Nothing shames those scumbags.
