I agree. The republicans would do well to pull together and object to everything and not even accept him as a legitimate president. In other words talk down to him, interupt him and treat him like a tin-horn dictator on his way out.
“The republicans would do well to pull together and object to everything and not even accept him as a legitimate president.”
I disagree with that approach.
No dictator would stand for such treatment. You can’t forget that Colonel Obama has the largest military on earth. He’s also got his own version of the ‘brown shirts’ in the SEIU on the civilian side.
Taking Congress away would be interesting, in that there is no choice but to take that personally, regardless of what history says about off-year elections.
To depose a Colonel like that, you have to stage a bloodless coup. He has no loyal constituency, beyond the authority granted him by the Constitution.
In America, you can’t really stage a coup. Presidents still have executive orders and war powers authority, for example.
The only group in the US that can take out the Colonel is Democrats. Durbin seems to be taking the Sestak thing seriously. I don’t think that’s an accident.
One way the Democrats could keep the gains they made in socialism this year is to take the lead on cleaning out the WH themselves. The trick is having the goods to do it, and a leader in the Senate/House that can lead the effort.
Obama drove them to do what they couldn’t. Now he needs to go, hoping that as he does he stays true to form and allows all the anger people have toward government to focus on him.
That could VERY much work. He can’t help himself. They’ll be cries of racism, which will be countered with cries of corruption - Chicago style.
I think Dem’s may believe it’s too late for mid-terms, but not for 2012. D’s are about self-preservation and self-interest - narcissism pure and simple. It takes a great deal of effort, money, and public humiliation to be elected to Congress. You don’t just lose your seat and laugh it off. Even the recent political retirees will come out to whack the Colonel (politically) and force him from office early.
