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."

The idea of Mr. Obama in hand to hand combat with anyone about anything is a joke. He is a light weight who has probably never been in a real fight in his entire life. Classic: all hat, no horse.

"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." Huh. Guess you should've had a different strategy in 2008, then, cuz that's pretty much what you told them to believe. That's the trouble when you rely on idiots. They end up acting like.... well, idiots.

***********************
R takeover of congress just means we’ve been good copped/bad copped again.
The 2-potty system stranglehold they have on wee the people—The choice of Mr FLIM or Mr FLAM!
We will never return to our Republic until the R potty is destroyed! The D potty?
It doesn’t matter—the poor will always be with us, notwithstanding what we call them—D, democraps, liberals, progressives, marxists, commies, devils, etc, etc.
Like 0’pinhead sez, wize-up!
