My husband is part of a carving group mostly populated by elderly people. Someone mentioned politics and my husband quickly got on the bad side of one older lady for lightly criticizing Obama. An older gentleman winked at my husband, patted the old lady on the shoulder and said, "Oh, he's just trying to wind you up, don't pay any attention to him."
Hubby was grateful for the rescue.
“the Leftists will take to the streets”
That could be fun!
Biden? After him it’s Nancy. And Byrd after that? Pick your poison.
I find it hard to believe anyone that listens to them everyday voted for Obama, she must be pulling someone’s leg.
“She was going to vote for him even if he was Adolph Hitler running as a Democrat”
And that is PRECISELY how Adolf Hitler got Elected!!!!
I respect that scenario but IMHO, zer0 will eat Yamamoto's words.

Around here very few will admit that they voted for him but thos who will admit it have buyer’s remorse, for sure.
Ditto, you wouldn’t believe the folks at churches I talked to. Mailed them the Planned Parenthood speech, his records, the audio from the BAIPA hearings, the letter his wife wrote re: partial birth abortion, you name it.
They said, “But he has a pro-life site” or they flat out refused to believe their eyes and ears.
It’s like they were possessed or something... MKUltra writ large.
I said to myself, now I understand Germans under Hitler and Jonestown.
The kids with no religion, I figured it’s the closest thing they think they feel at the Obama rallies... but the churchgoers? (shakes head)
Don’t get me started on talking to blacks...
Well, at least we know Biden is Constitutionally eligible to hold the office.
Sung to the old Bee Gees song:
I started some hope, which started the whole world crying,
But I didn’t see that the hope wasn’t me, oh no.
I started to whine, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.
I listened to pols, covering my hands over my ears,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that Rush’d said.
Soon they’ll no that I lied, which will start the whole world living,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.

We are locked with the idiot that majority elected.

Hugo calls on Obama to embrace socialism

What to do... called to live his Islam by others, called to the Reds from the other.

Heck yeah. At least he’s an American.
Did you feel it? The political ground shifting beneath President Barack Obama since his speech last week to Congress? It's been downhill since and I'm not referring mainly to the Dow Jones record-setting dive. The pivot point of the shift was the speech, or rather what the speech did to the evolving public narrative of Obama...
- Since the first of the year, Rush Limbaugh's audience has exploded...
- Glenn Beck's imminently forgettable presence on CNN has been transformed, according to The Los Angeles Times, by his move to Fox News... in a very short time at Fox his audience is now exceeded only by Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity...
- Democrats in Congress are even beginning to express in public print their worries that Obama has reached too far with the $787 billion economic stimulus package, the $410 billion omnibus spending bill and the $3.6 trillion budget proposal...
- Daniel Henninger offers this crucial observation in a WSJ piece otherwise devoted to asking why Republicans aren't more eagerly and quickly taking advantage of the fact the Obama Democrats have all but declared war on the 75 percent of the U.S. economy that is private...
- Obama's mastery of public speaking has served to deflect attention away from the details of what he is actually proposing, which is based, according to Krauthammer, on a fundamental deception: Obama summons vision of catastrophe that are the result of too little government regulation of the financial markets and he offers as a solution vastly more government regulation of .... health care, energy and education... Worse, Krauthammer says, is that Obama tries to have it both ways, with the alleged errors of deregulation being compounded into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression by America's failure to nationalize health care, shift our economy to alternative energy sources and give everybody a free pass to college...
- As people focused more on the details and how they didn't square with what they thought he had promised during the campaign, the soaring rhetoric lost much of its power. It may even now be approaching a net negative because it throws so much more light on the inaequacies of the policies...
- The contrast is no longer between the young, personable, historic candidate Obama and a creaky, cranky old Republican White Guy, it's between what America thought it was getting in a President Obama (cool, reasonable and above partisanship) and what it now sees as the reality of a President Obama (government spending out of control, broken promises, more bureaucrats, etc. etc.)...
Bloodless up till now...
