The Four Year Hangover: Barack Obama Is President
The Post Chronicle ^ | December 6, 2008 | Carolyn Hileman

Ahh, but wasn't it a party? America voted in her very first black president, not because he had new ideas or because he was the most experienced but because he was black. With all of his talk of change he has pretty much resurrected the Clinton administration, plans on holding a speech within his first 100 days in an Islamic capital to make them like us again. You would have thought that his first speech would be here in the good ole' USA to the people who voted for him but nope it will be in Islamic territory, wow I feel safer already don't you? Now I am going to be honest with at the risk of sounding like the democrats I simply do not believe the election was won fairly. There are just way too many unanswered questions, such as ACORN, you don't really hear anything about it any more do you?

Any time there is a suspicion of this magnitude, concerning the validity of our election process the election should have been postponed until all questions were answered but they were not and most of us knew when we went to vote that it was futile because the election was already bought and paid for. I suppose what bothers me the most is the fact that the man snubbed his nose at us on Election Day. It was a quiet snub and a lot of people I am betting never caught it but I did and I cannot forget it. Mr. Obama voted in the same place, just seconds after William Ayers did. Now I am not a politician but I would think since the Republicans painted him with ties to that man very effectively that he would have made darn sure that he was no where around when he went to vote, but he didn't and to me that was a sign that he knew no matter what he would win.

So now here we have it, he has already said that as soon as he gets in office he will reenact the drilling ban, like those gas prices, don't count on them for long. Then He plans to lift the very few restrictions on abortion and reinstate don't ask don't tell, oh and by the way in case you have not heard there was an interesting story on MSNBC here is the headline:

Pentagon to detail military to bolster security. Plan would dedicate 20,000 uniformed troops inside U.S. by 2011

The interesting thing though is when you go to the story you get this:

The page you are seeking has expired and is no longer available at msnbc.com.

However, it may be available at The Washington Post.

Don't bother looking though they don't even have the headline, so once again stories are disappearing, perhaps they just don't think that is important I don't know, however what is interesting is they are to be going after Americans for domestic terrorism. So you put two and two together and tell me we are not in big trouble here. We have a soon to be president that we are not sure real people voted for, who plans to make his first speech to the Islamists, plans to ban drilling in America which will weaken our economy further and then we will have 20,000 uniformed troops watching over us. Now that the party is over a lot of people are waking up afterwards wondering what happened while they were drunk with euphoria and bracing for the four year hangover.

"Off goes the head of the king, and tyranny gives way to freedom. The change seems abysmal. Then, bit by bit, the face of freedom hardens, and by and by it is the old face of tyranny. Then another cycle, and another. But under the play of all these opposites there is something fundamental and permanent — the basic delusion that men may be governed and yet be free."

H.L. Mencken

The actual US Military is forbidden from operating inside the USA...

that’s why he’s going with the Civilian Defense Corps or some such.

Not yet, he isn’t.

Not so sure about that. I witnessed my son's swearing in this past Saturday and they clearly state "enemies, foreign and domestic". I believe that means they can operate here, just only against enemies.

I see recycled Clintonians as a big plus compared to what I expected. Still waiting for Monica to return though.

I don't understand how that would work. Will regular army personnel be reassigned to new ‘tasks’ with a separate leadership, new uniforms, new objectives, different training and bases... etc.??? OR is the new ‘Mr. “I Hate America” President’ going to invent an army within an army like Hitler's personal army of thugs? It's all too irregular. Don't taxpayers and voters have something to say about being set upon by their own? Would Americans in uniform really bully and beat private American citizens? It's too ugly to even think about.

It’s called the “posse comitatus act” which forbids the use of regular military for law enforcement purposes.

Here’s an explanation: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Civil_Liberties/Posse_Comitatus_Law.html

However, I understand that a written law or long held traditional concept has little bearing on restricting the desires of a leftist to use the government to accomplish his goals.

Just attach them to the department of homeland security, or to treasury, and you are fine. No Posse Comitatus.

It’s the end run the USCG has used in order to board US vessels anywhere in the world that they find them.

By far, the USCG has the largest jurisdiction of any ‘law enforcement’ organization in the US, maybe the world. Any US vessel, anywhere in the world OR any vessel by which the flag country issues a statement of no objection to boarding, anywhere in the world.

My take on the formation of the Civ Def Corps is that he’s going to require “civil service” of an “approved” nature, and then pick a few out of this training for his special Civilian Defense Corps.

They won’t be chosen out of the military, but will receive special training, probably in the quelling of domestic civil uprisings.

I guess it boils down to is operating equivalent to law enforcement.

Well, that will be convenient...since, the 'Mr. "I Hate America" President's' incompetence and malfeasance will be creating civil uprisings

The Coast Guard can search anyone’s boat they want? They don’t need a search warrant?

America voted in her very first black president

Does that observation refer to Negro when it says black or just skin pigment? Would someone explain to me just what it is about Barack Hussein Obama that is Negro?

“Change” = Not Bush.

A purple hermaphroditic salamander could’ve beat McCain.

Indeed, the amazing outcome was that Obama was so weak, the results were close!
