It would appear that there is plenty of irrational exuberance to go around. Good grief, he hasn’t even taken office yet. Give it a rest for a few minutes.

Ahh... to hell with that... impeach him NOW! : P

One term is more than enough time for lasting damage. 29 years later we have yet to see the worst result of the Iranian debacle.

One election at a time.

2010 and the House is the new front line. If Obama is nearly as unpopular as Biden predicts, the House should be all but in reach. Even if the GOP gets close, within 10 seats or so, there are enough moderate Dems that will fear their seats in ‘12 to put an end to the marxist regime. If 1994 is any example, the GOP should be able to fully close the deal and take back the House, with the right (and I do mean right) agenda.

2010 is the line in the sand. 2012 will take care of itself, in due time.

It matters most RIGHT NOW what candidates are being lined out to run in which races in 2010. We need strong candidates in all the marginal races and a new Contract with America.

I haven’t been a fan of Newt lately. But. Maybe he SHOULD be the RNC chief. At least he knew something about mobilizing a national agenda out of local races.

Well the Sandinista’s tried free fair and open elections, the first and last (AFAIK) in a communist nation. They immediately lost power as people voted for the non-communist party.

Last time they will try that! ;)

You mean the swooning will stop in four years? And in the meantime, just how much damage will be done?

The Dems started this many years back with their giveaway programs, their “no drilling” policy, NAFTA and condoningand paying the bills of illegal immigrants. It sent billions of dollars out of the country., I’m not an isolationists...but the USA refuses to ask bums to work...preferring the “slight of hand” reparations programs.

Just remember -- our DUTY, according to the Declaration of Independence, is to rebel against a despotic tyranny. Go and read it to refresh your memory, and to recall that duty to mind.

If it is that Obama is indeed a Marxist, which all his history indicates, then it is that Marx's Communist Manifesto calls for a Marxist elected into the leadership of a country to apply the tactics of despotism at this stage of the conversion to Communism.

He has his duty, then it is we have ours. Which does Obama consider is duty? Is it to Communism, or to the ethos of moral Liberty that the Founders espoused?

The Clintons started the concept of the "Permanent Campaign". No honeymoon, no truce, just 24/7/365 all-out political warfare.

Works for me.

That will only happen if the opposition defines who he is, all I’ve seen are a bunch of Republican lemmings that play footsie with their enemies.

I don't know if I agree with that assumption. Just wait until you try and oust the nation's "First Black President" and you can already hear the screaming of "racist".

I have never heard of a black who was elected, and then replaced by a white person. Usually, as with big city mayors, once a black mayor is elected, that's it...it never goes back the other way.

I look for obama and the pelosi gang to try to pull something so that he can remain in power indefinitely. Especially if he gets the "storm troopers" [read: gestappo] established.

It's called liberal incrementalism.

In a way, if the economic mess causes Obama to be a failure in the eyes of the American public, that will be sweet irony, since it’s his party who deserves the lions share of the blame for the mess.

THE SELECTION OF COMRADE OBAMA By: Lynn Stuter
November 11, 2008
November 11, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

Election 2008 is finally over. Most Americans are rejoicing that the endless barrage of nauseatingly stupid campaign ads have finally, I mean finally, disappeared from their television screens. The collective sigh of relief was truly universal no matter the political persuasion.

In a history-making moment, it was revealed to Americans who their next president would be: Barack Hussein Obama. The charade was accompanied by television coverage of people dancing in the streets across the United States.

Many believe he was elected. The rest know he was (s)elected. There have been a few clues along the way; some more obvious than others.

One of the first clues was the attitude of the mainstream media. Their bias toward Barack Hussein Obama has been so obvious as to be in-your-face. There is a lot about Barack Hussein Obama that should have been revealed to the public by the mainstream media were they doing their job. Barack Obamas connections to Marxist organizations like the Industrial Areas Foundation, ACORN, Midwest Academy, Students for a Democratic Society and the Black Panthers were never revealed by the mainstream media; any of them. Nor was the fact that Frank Marshall Davis, poet, journalist, and member of the Communist Party USA, admitted mentor and advisor to Obama, ever touched on by the mainstream media. Obamas association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and Weatherman Underground member William Ayers were downplayed when they should have been investigated and reported on.

Nor has the mainstream media, to this day, reported on the growing concern that Barack Hussein Obama is not an American by birth; also the fact that he was adopted by his stepfather and became an Indonesian citizen; excluding him from eligibility to seek the office of president of the United States. Many people believe the government vetted the candidates for eligibility. But who says they really did; who made sure they did? If anyone in any agency of the United States government vetted Obama or McCain for eligibility, why havent they come forward and said so? A judge in California threw out a lawsuit filed to remove McCain from the California ballot. In his opinion, the judge indicates that the question of eligibility of candidates must come in the form of an objection in Congress at the time of the counting of the electoral votes.

Nor did the mainstream media report on the poll intimidation that occurred on November 4th, one incident of many being in Philadelphia where two black men, dressed in Black Panther attire, one carrying a billy club, were filmed outside a Philadelphia polling place. The intent was obviously to intimidate white voters arriving to cast their vote. Racial slurs concerning “white supremacy” were allegedly made. The Black Panther carrying the billy club was escorted off the premises by police called to the scene; the other one was allowed to stay. This was but one instance that occurred. Were this type of conduct not the modus operandi of organizations like the IAF and ACORN, the SDS and Black Panthers, if they were not the tactics taught by organizations like the Midwest Academy, we could easily say that they dont represent the president elect, but Barack Hussein Obamas affiliations with these organizations does not speak well of him, and does not set well with many Americans.

He will get a complete pass.

EVERYTHING will be blamed on Bush.

Bad economy? The messiah inherited it from Bush, who caused it with his tax cuts for the rich etc.

Terrorist attack? Bush’s fault because the rest of the world is paying us back for our unwarranted aggression in the Middle East.

With the press playing along, this will be a piece of cake.

Obama and “moral liberty” in the same sentence? What do you think? America has voted out “the ethos of moral liberty.”

It’s going to have to be VERY VERY bad for people to out this guy IMO.

I agree. The willing press, fellow travelers, and daily rants from the heads of Democrat committees will continue to beat the drum of "It's Bush's fault." Every downturn in the economy, unemployment hike, and failed business will be laid at the doorstep of "failed Bush policies." Then, the GOP will merely sigh and shrug its puny shoulders in defeat...

The media will not allow it. If you think they were sycophants in this last election, they are going to go completely Pravda in 2012. Add that to the Fairness Doctrine and the coming crackdown on the internet, Conservative voices will be muffled by 2012. And here is my “aluminum foil hat” prediction for autumn 2009: committee hearings on Fox News. I know it sounds crazy(thus the aluminum foil hat) but I have a feeling the Dems in Congress are going to overreach and go for the complete control of information. Let’s just say by 2012 you will not be able to use the word “Orwellian” because the Left will consider it racist and hatespeech. In other words, doubleplusungood.

I'm sorry. How about we just all begun survivalist, dig ourselves holes in the ground and hide until he nationalizes all holes.

Sorry for posting any optomistic suggestions. How about instead of posting news stories, people just shout at the top of their lungs,"WE'REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DOOOOMEED!!!!"

That's the ticket. /sarcasm off.
