WASHINGTON – Two days from the White House, President-elect Barack Obama joined a vast throng Sunday at a roaring, rollicking pre-inauguration celebration staged before marble monuments to past heroes. "Anything is possible in America," declared the man who will confront economic crisis and two wars when he takes office.

"Despite the enormity of the task that lies ahead — I stand here today as hopeful as ever that the United States of America will endure — that the dream of our founders will live on in our time," the president-elect said at the conclusion of a musical extravaganza that featured U2, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen and other stars.

So it is still possible, that Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid will keel over so we can have some decent leadership in this country without Socialism taking over everything we have worked hard for all these years?

Hoorah. I have Hope!!

Lincoln is looking down on wussybama with disappointment. All that work Lincoln did to keep the nation together will all go down the crapper now that the wuss is rising to power.

“Anything is possible in America,”

Apparently even the “Dictatorship of the Proletariat”.

Who would have guessed?

“that the dream of our founders will live on in our time”

OK, now I’m going to continually vomit!!!!!

Obama, invoking the “dream of our founders”???? The same man who said that the Constitution was “flawed”???

Obama wants to destroy the dream of our founders. The founders would spin in the graves at a million RPM if they knew what Obama is doing/planning to do!

Obama’s going to bring an authoritarian, socialist regime to our nation! WHY CAN’T PEOPLE SEE THAT??????

“...that the dream of our founders will live on in our time,..”

I assure you that no Founders ever dreamed of Trillion Dollar deficits, Government welfare for protected political groups, or openly Gay “married,” “Bishops” invoking God at the Presidential Inauguration.

Anything is possible as long as socialist fools do not drag us into the ground.

I have and will continue to take exception to all this "worst economy since the Great Depression" nonsense. That was a quote from the article's author, written as journalistic fact, and obviously nowadays it is accepted as fact by journalists.

The economy may one day become that way, and for all I know, that day may be soon, but so far, it's still not as bad as it was in the late 70s and early 80s. Look at the numbers and you'll know I'm right.

I don't wish to give the impression that I'm trying to paint a picture which depicts everything as rosy. What I'm endeavouring to do is to keep some realism in the discussion. Overexaggeration of problems helps less than an honest discussion of them. I have grown weary of hyperbole.

Anything is possible, even electing a left-wing radical with no experience to the highest office in the land.

Well, according Obama, we are now “one proletariat,” who must overthrow the “evil bourgeoisie.”
