Reporting from Washington A Republican majority in Congress would mean "hand-to-hand combat" on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy, President Obama warned Thursday.
Speaking on Michael Baisden's syndicated radio show, Obama also made a direct appeal to African Americans about the importance of the November vote, even though he's not on the ballot himself.
"The reason we won [in 2008] is because young people, African Americans, Latinos -- people who traditionally don't vote in high numbers -- voted in record numbers. We've got to have that same kind of turnout in this election," he said. "If we think that we can just vote one time, then we have a nice party at Obama's inauguration, and then we can kind of sit back and suddenly everything's going to change that's just not how it works."

Nope, not consumed by it, I’ve got a life to live but it is a motivating force for me.
Hat tip to OneWingedShark. Thank you for your kind words about my rant!
WOW! Two positive replies and no one telling me that I am too negative! I just might go out and buy a lotto ticket!
Amen, brother.
And outlaw a torch. Outlaw a pitchfork. I want to see them try.
I want to see this. Seriously. I want to see the escalation, not in words, but in actions, so Americans see the starkness of their choice.
Makes these people either abandon their tyranny or defend it.
My country is worth it. My life is worth it.
Bringing torches or pitchforks...Screw the money...That investment in my nation is worth it.
I am taking him literally too.
We need to arm our new leaders with pitchforks, torches, tar and feathers. He can enter the chamber empty handed. See what he gets.
Not rhetorically. Literally.
Make it three brother!
“and suddenly everything’s going to change that’s just not how it works.”
Except that was your platform, ya jackassian economist!
Even if the R’s win, there could still be the D-RINO Majority
bring it on!
Well, it almost sounds like a call to arms, doesn’t it?
And since it seems there is no penalty nowdays if, for example, you were a large, somewhat threatening person and you went and hung out around the polling place at election time, you know, to get your point across...
At this time I lean toward combat_boots post,
in my life. Kartographer, your post does have
insight and is possibly the actual lay of the field,
though 'may your post not come to bear the lemons'
“If the GOP wins is he going to have his minions burn down the reichstag??”
You’ve got it all wrong my friend. He’s supposed to have his minions burn down the Reichstag right BEFORE the election, BEFORE the Republicans win!
I can’t wait for the GOP to tell Obama...
WE WON
This kind of crap is starting to sound like the beginnings of Nazi Germany, for cryin out loud!!
Just following the Marxist play book.
Three cornered hat tip to wxgesr.
To those who read my rant and think that I am wrong, let me say I wish and pray I am, but in my heart and mind I some how know that I am right.
“A Republican majority in Congress would mean “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill for the next two years....”
Some folks might say that the continuation of a democrat controlled Congress would quickly lead to a bloody civil war, lasting for however long it takes to retake our country from those corrupt traitors presently destroying America.
I certainly wouldn’t say that, but some folks might.
“Stabilize” apparently means “to trash” on obozoworld.
Oh, that explains it! LOL!
