“One year from now....”
I’m always a little chagrined by that qualifier. (I’m assuming there’s nothing special about April 09/10, 2010.) Similar to “give him time to find his feet, he’s brand new in office”. (And I KNOW you are not advocating that, this post is addressed to your choice of phrase, not to you personally)
0bama is 0bama. Period. Once again, dumb, stupid, neanderthal, simplistic, cave-dwelling Conservatives who never had an orignal idea in their lives “get it”. 0bama is 0bama. He indeed is the Marxist/Socialist we saw during the campaign with the curiouser and curiouser mysterious past with the gaping holes. He is the stumbly bumbly speaker remarkable only in the sense that he can slough over his inarticulateness with grandiose meaningless gobbledygook. Protected and glorified by a media machine that would make Herr Goebbels shed tears of joy, he seems immune to any reality-based or thought-based attack. We are left to marvel at Michelle 0bamas’ arms.
Not just all that, but he is a brazen and stunningly consistent liar who’d probably edge out Clinton in a competition, if the lying contest were held fairly. An amusing concept in and of itself with these two. And ultimately he is a Muslim. All this is demonstrated in deeds, not words, while he remonstrates with us that words must mean something, while for him, they do not.
My point being, a year isn’t going to make any difference. At least, not for me, and I daresay not for you. And if it does, it will IMO be because the country has moved closer to 0bamas’ ideals rather 0bama relinquishing his wonderful visions of our utopian hell.
Let me add I had no illusions about Obama, and nothing he has done so far has surprised me. However, generous person that I am, I will give even committed leftists room for a change of heart. It's happened to a lot of leftists like David Howowitz and even Thomas Sowell who said he was a Marxist right out of high school.
But I sincerely doubt it will happen for Obama. What is most likely is that after a few years of catastrophe he might inwardly acknowledge that leftism is a failure but carry on his disastrous polices nonetheless.
