GOP takeover of Congress would mean 'hand-to-hand combat,' Obama warns

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."

Every day I’m asking if this empty suit in the Oval office is just that. This idiot believes what everyone on his staff tells him, so he’s just regurgitating what he hears. I honestly don’t think he believes anything he says, esp. when it’s anything pro-American.

Will have to be “hand to hand”, as I can’t see any scenario where the GOP gets enough votes to override the Fuhrer’s VETO!

The Kenyan has been Mau-mauing the opposition for the last three years.

The men who wrote the constitution forsaw the possibility of this...when the poor, ignorant became the majority. The Senate was suppose to control these blocks...in the same way as the electoral college was to do the same.

And so, when I hear Obama calling for these particular blocks and excluding a call to us white folks...you know..."It's all about race".

No way are “his” voters gonna turn out - Fox (I think) did “man on the street” interviews this week, and they don’t give a crap, b/c the Magic Kenyan is not on the ballot, and they don’t even know who is...plus there is nothing cool about rolling out of bed to vote for a Dim whitie whose name you’ve never heard of.

Gold is soaring/dollar crashing because the world markets have ZERO confidence in the Islamic. The same thing happened with Carter but this guy is far far worse.

Please watch this part of a video from 1:29 on to about 3:44. It’s from Perry Stone. “We’re Christians before we’re color.”

Well, if it requires thrashings on the floor of the House and Sentate, I have only one question.

Is popcorn available in the visitors’ gallery?
