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."

As Patton once said... it takes profanity to run an army... but it must be “eloquent profanity”. He said, “Sometimes I surprise myself with my own eloquence”. ;-)

“...policies Democrats have established to stabilize the economy”? Is he kidding?

Past a certain point death is a very stable condition.

Screw all these words.

We need to Bring IT!

We need to show our support to those new leaders that we have their back. Repeal this tyrant’s agenda and fight every word he utters....

We should arm them with feathers and tar. We should see to it that our conservative leaders and representatives are not going to be bullied by this man and his gang of thieves.

We need to bring it so he feels directly the heat of the confrontation he is starting. He needs to know that escalating the conflict with this choice of words has a consequence.

Draw a line on the ground and set it on fire so he knows that one step further and its gonna burn.

BO has made it clear that he is an idealogue who won’t back down.

We need to make it equally clear that there is not one more inch of compromise.

Aside from the fact that he and the democrat party are Nazi Socialist POS, he is just repeating a tradition of the democrat party. The democrats promised civil war if their party didn’t win in 1860.

Barry Obama is a symptom, not the illness. Some of our countrymen are out and out racists and socialists/marxists, that is the real thing to hate.

"hand to hand combat"

0bama has no idea what 'hand to hand combat' is. He's a yellow bastard.

Now 'hand-to-gland'? The Zero probably knows a lot about that.

It was easy for him to get elected on the “I’m not Bush” platform, but the problem is he can’t get reelected on the “I’m not me” platform, so he has nothing to go on.

I like the idea of hand to hand combat.The only problem is the liberals don’t fight fair.So the Republicans had better wake up and get ready.

“”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.”

Racist and worthless. So, all the white people who voted for ‘the one’ didn’t matter? He is truly a racist and untalented jerk.
