US midterm elections: Barack Obama's world turned upside down as Democrats face electoral disaster

By abandoning his own rhetoric of bipartisanship, President Obama divided America and set the course for a heavy Democratic defeat in Tuesday's midterm elections, argues Toby Harnden.

Welcome to the world as it was supposed to be for Barack Obama. Standing outside his campaign headquarters on St Charles Street in New Orleans, Cedric Richmond, the Democratic candidate, saluted a "great president" and rattled off the supposed benefits to his district of the Obama administration's reforms.

Obama's economic stimulus bill, he argued, created 39,000 jobs in New Orleans. Some 189,000 people in the city who had no health insurance will now be covered.

Barack Obama and Dick Cheney clash on terror"He's right on the issues and he's creating the kind of change that people believed in two years ago," said Richmond. "We didn't think the change would be easy, but he's initiated the type of reform to get us out of the hole Bush created."

I don’t know but according to his schedule he’s heading out of the country to India the next day probably scheduled to get him away from DC for a few days to calm him downb before America gets to see his reaction.

You must have heard the rumor Bambi wants an “heir” (son) and has been bugging the wookie for some more nookie to forge a son. Yea. His spawn’s book would be Dreams from My Grandfather? Lord help us. Thankfully the going on 47 year old Chewbacka said, “Not no, but Hail no.”

Cao’s seat has been held by corrupt D’s for a long long time and the only reason he was elected was because there was a month long election delay due to Hurricane Gustav. Otherwise, the seat would have gone to Dollar Bill Jefferson, felon sentenced to 13 years in the federal pen for bribery, racketeering and other nefarious charges.

Cao losing this seat will NOT be better nor will it send a message to RINO’s because it will just convert back to the crooked Congressional Black Caucus candidate where there will be zero votes for conservative issues.

From the article:
His victory came from those who wanted him to change Washington, not America.

I understand that you were being rhetorical when you mentioned that.
Thanks.

Obama's economic stimulus bill, he argued, created 39,000 jobs in New Orleans. Some 189,000 people in the city who had no health insurance will now be covered.... Inside his headquarters, a team of Obama for America volunteers sent down from Washington to help Richmond were hitting phone lines to urge voters to turn out. Richmond, like two-thirds of the district's voters, is black.

If you read between the lines of this article, the reporter reveals the dirty little secret of everything that has gone wrong for Obama.

Barack and Michelle really only care deeply about one constituency - blacks.

Everything about their power and money grab was inherently driven by race, racism, socialism, anger, and get-even-ism.

Michelle in particular is driven massive insecurity masquerading as "spunk", and Barack by a revenge mentality of biblical proportions.

The entire "health care" bill had one bottom line: take insurance from rich whitey and give it for free to 'our people.'

This basic truth is only whispered about in polite circles, but everyone knows in their gut it IS true.

There was no way, ever - that Obama was going to be the (as he stated): "President for all the American people."

Take this quote from the article:

"There's not a liberal America and a conservative America. There's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America. There's the United States of America."

As Daniel Patrick Moynihan (perhaps the last reasonable Democrat of modern history) would have called it, that blather by Obama was "Boob Bait for the Bubbas."

He is the most racist President we have ever had - and that is saying something.

This is one really angry woman. Might just be her normal temperament or it may have something to do with the marriage. I don’t know?

There was a great article here on FR a few weeks ago, I wish I can remember its title.

Basically, someone from very, very inside the Obama Crime Syndicate talked to a reporter (on a condition of deep background).

The source may have been Rahm "Deadfish" Emanuel, if only because he knew so much, and you could tell the source was a viscous man.

He said a lot of things, one of which was the Obama marriage was in deep trouble.

If you want my guess, it is that Barack Hussein cheated with Vera Baker, and Michelle has the goods on him.

Here is what is driving Obama crazy: he has millions of women who literally worship him, and yet his own wife holds him in contempt. He can't understand why she "disrespects" him - even though he knows why.

He has built his own private Hell, and he deserves every moment in it.

I know just what you are talking about in all respects.

The article that you are talking about is part of a series from a blog. There are dozens of posts on the blog with all kinds of negative stories and allegations about Obama’s lack of competence, unstable mental state, and bad family situation.

These stories are born out by facts. MO did go to Spain with the girls during his birthday. Michelle has complained about his laziness and irresponsibility. And the girls have said they don’t like to hug him because he is ‘stinky’. So yes, I would say that amounts to disrespect from his family.

Can’t speak about cheating specifically, but something is very wrong at home. That much is obvious.
