Obama ran as both a Clintonite centrist and a no-red-state/no-blue-state healer who had transcended bitter partisanship. That assurance allowed voters to believe that his occasional talk of big change was more cosmetic than radical.

Just a tiny bit of research into the man's beliefs/past would have revealed that not to be true--I guess that's too much to ask though from your average dumb sh!t, lazy voter.

It's not too much to ask, but it's sure obvious it's too much to expect.

Apparently, Team Obama figured that with sizable majorities in both the House and the Senate, Obama would snap his fingers, Congress daily would pass bills redefining America, and Obama would stay in perpetual campaign mode to hope and change the country to accept his agenda.

Spot on and still going on today. He aapoints czars to take care of the problems so doesn't have to do anything but continue campaigning. I'm beginning to believe this is Axelrod's strateegery for as long as Opossum is in office.

This public ignorance is the fault of the Republicans who are too shy to fight like men.

Sadly, I believe Victor has nailed our future. Another generation of Americans required to clean up the mess made by a socialist dictator wannebe - Johnson, Carter, Clinton and now Obamao. The utter waste and damage is too much to bear.

Outstanding piece by VDH.

He was too much of a gentleman to come right out and say Obama is an accomplished liar and many of those lies are coming back to bite him but I’d bet he knows it to be true. :-)

... given that his appetites are far more in check.

I don't think his appetites are any more in check; they just manifest themselves differently; he has an insatiable appetite for destroying America.

Not surprising, but still completely pathetic and scary. The last lady seemed like she had slight potential, but she still said she probably wouldn’t change her vote. Reminds me of this:

“Exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camps, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.” Yuri Bezmenov 1984, regarding communist propaganda in the United States and how to brainwash a nation

At some point, the American public snaps out of it, and sighs, “Wow, these people really are nuts!”

I believe this is happening now. Anita Dunn's praising Mao (and sticking her tongue out like a lizard while saying it), may well be the proverbial straw that broke the American people's back.

Pray for America. We need MORE people to "snap out of it" and MORE people to pro-actively work to stop this Marxist regime from destroying America.

She did that alot, it was very strange. I wondered at the time if she was having some sort of withdrawal symptom from drugs or alcohol.
