By the time 2012 rolls around, the Obamacare taxes are going to be grinding on people so badly that there will be a revolt at the ballot box. ... The only possible explanation for this is that Obama knows he can't run for a second term anyway ... trying to do as much damage as he can as quickly as possible.Can anyone think of any other explanation?
Sure. Can you say 'National Emergency'?
The mutt has already thought about declaring one..
Frustrated by the difficulties in obtaining financing from Congress, administration officials had discussed invoking a little-known statute that would allow the president to declare a national emergency and then use military funds allocated for other construction projects to buy and retrofit the Illinois prison.

And if there's more than an inclining of an oncoming 'revolt at the ballot box', like a million Citizens marching on DC you can bet the rent he'll pull the trigger on declaring a 'National Emergency'. SEIU and ACORN *workers* will be deputized as US Marshals to, 'keep the peace and enforce the law' (snicker).
Which I sure wish they would try.
I'd even 'double dog dare them'.
That would explain some things, first and foremost the BC issue.
It's been said that the SecGen of the UN cannot be a citizen of any of the permanent member Nations of that body - which effectively eliminates US citizens from serving. Since he never had to prove he is a US citizen, it would be much easier to contend that HE IS NOT.
I know it's a tinfoil scenario, but it's three years until decision time and this is only one of many options.
My prediction:
We work our butts off for the 2010 elections: We loose through corruption, or the Executive has neutered the Congress anyway.
There are prolonged general strikes and other forms of civil disobedience. They are repressed.
At some point between now and then there will be a crisis, probably manufactured. Martial law is imposed - or should I say, it is attempted. Because all along we have been preparing: gathering supplies, creating formal and informal networks of like-minded people, studying the enemy and his weak points, training and preparing in quiet ways that don’t draw too much attention.
When the spark is lit, the amount of tinder will be explosive. Unless we acquiesce to enslavement, I see no effective way to prevent or avoid the coming conflagration. I think we all need to realize that it’s time to get serious. It’s coming.
2012 results are already in, just not released yet. Obama won.
Unfortunately for us, Obama never intended to run for a second term. The plan all along was to ignore the voters and any re-election consequences. By doing that, Obama would have more power than any President in history, since he would be totally unrestrained by the electorate, and yet, as a first termer, not be considered a lame duck.
Obama is also willing to sacrifice the Democratic Party too, which seems to be working out quite nicely, since the Congressional Democrats have yet to figure out their fate under Obama’s scorched earth calculations. Plus, the ones that have figured out their re-election chances are doomed, are no longer constrained either, and in an orgy of self-indulgence, many will likely vote for anything Obama asks for at this point, since it will make no difference to them anyway. As the Brits say, “In for a penny, in for a pound.”
And the reason for all of this, you might ask? Well, Obama’s plan is to irrevocably push the U.S. down a path of no-return in terms of bankruptcy, socialism, military defeat, and chaos. Well, why would he want this, you might wonder? Well, Obama’s essentially a Marxist and a one-worlder, which means he applies the Marxist principals at the international level. The Marxist now know that their economic theories don’t work, that is, they are no longer believe they can create a “worker’s paradise”. The best they can do in perpetuating their new idea of “equality” is to make everyone equally poor, since they know they can not make everyone equally wealthy. They want to do this both nationally and internationally, that is, they want to make everyone within each country equally poor, and also make every nation equally poor. Thus, the U.S. has to brought to the level of the majority of the rest of the countries. That is, the U.S. becomes just one more nation amongst hundreds.
My real fear is that the Obamunists have already achieved their aims, though this won’t be apparent for a few years. Passage of Death Care almost guarantees this outcome, and I don’t think it can be undone. At this point, probably the rest of Obama’s agenda can not be passed because of the difficulty in bribing 60 senators for each and every vote, since even the dimmest Senatorial dimbulb now understands the full value of the sell-a-vote game. The problem of course is that all 60 Democrat Senators want to be the last vote, so now the new problem is to get those first 59 votes. Nonetheless, a miraculous implementation of of Capn Tax, citizenship for 14 million illegal aliens (thus creating 14 million shiny new Democrat voters), the KSM trial (whose legal precedents would effectively end the possibility of foreign U.S. military action) plus all the rest would definitely guarantee the desired destruction.
As to whether any of this can be undone, I’m not sure. I doubt it. Reversal depends on whether the electorate rises up and elects a hard-core conservative majority in both houses of Congress, including a veto proof Senate. Sure, it’s a foregone conclusion that the Democrats will lose their current majorities, and Obama is not going to be re-elected, but will the conservatives of our nation rise up off their butts, invade the Republican Pary in mass, and take it over, kicking out the RINOs and nominate and elect a legion of Doug Hoffmans? I don’t know. But I do know that even if the Republicans get their majorities, if the people who get elected simply choose to “go along” with the status quo and tinker about the edges a bit because they do not possess the “right stuff”, then you and I, and the rest of us will have witnessed the beginning of the end of the greatest nation on the face of the planet.
I do not believe all is lost, however.
I have no rational reason for believing this, only the faith and optimism that has been the hallmark of the American Dream.
One quibble with your prediciton, which with i otherwise agree. There will be a bloodbath either way. If we acquiesce to slavery, millions will be rounded up and die in camps, or simply be starved to death a la Ukraine. If we fight, the conflict will be a horrendously bloody, civil style war.
Because 2010 will be the year 20 million illegal aliens become legal Democrats.
Precisely why I keep asking my husband to keep buying extra ammo! My 12 year old son has been trained to use a gun, and for my birthday, I asked for a pink rifle! If they want to make history....they will (just not the way they think)
I have a well educated, small business owner neighbor who votes for Republicans at the state level, but loves Obama and will vote for him in a heart beat in 2012. He really believes the Bambster is doing great considering the cards that were dealt him. I have tried to reason with him, but he just dismisses me because I listen to Rush occasionally and watch Fox News.
I have a cousin who thinks he is Gods gift, too. You cant talk any sense into these people. They leave me walking away thinking..why dont they see it?
As they say: There is none so blind as he who will not see.
When you love false fantasies more than truth, it's fantasies to which you will cling most defiantly.
