The horse is still just as dead, and getting “deader” if that’s possible. We’re one less day in the count to January 20th than we were yesterday. And no court is going to do anything on Saturday and Sunday. That leaves only Monday. And then come Monday — I wonder what some posters are going to be saying when Tuesday is just hours away — from the swearing in. One has to wonder about how some are in touch with the realities of politics, as they are today.

I would think it’s about time to work on how to *deal with Obama* as he becomes President — because he’s definitely not going to be working to get conservative bills done with the Democrat Congress that we’ve got.

It appears to me, that while Obama *is* President (after taking office), that many are going to be chasing this court case, that court case, looking at the thinking of the Supreme Court with one, with the other, looking for the “next date” on the court calendar that means something — and chasing radio programs, blog entries, documents — all the while Obama and Congress are passing legislation left and right. That’s not the way to deal with Obama’s first few days, weeks and months in office. Getting involved in the process of what’s going on with the President and the Congress and legislation is what’s going to be needed. That’s where time is going to need to be spent.

AND — I think that’s exactly where Obama wants your energy put to use — chasing down all these court cases — while he and Congress gets their legislation passed. It makes sense to me that this is exactly where he would like a lot of conservative energy placed, while he does his thing with Congress. It’s something that he considers is good for him, to have you with little time to consider what he’s actually *doing* while many are spending a lot of time on these court cases, documents, radio programs, strategies, etc., and etc.

With the actual “track record” that many have here — Obama is pleased, because he knows you’ll be sidetracked on this stuff for quite a long time. And, it’s obvious that he doesn’t mind at all. It seems that you’re playing right into his game and your time on these issues will make it so that you don’t have as much time on anything else that Obama does while in office. You only have so much time and when someone is so obsessive/compulsive about one particular thing and about accomplishing one particular thing — nothing else gets on the radar (i.e., all the other bills Obama is going to put through, and the work required there).

It’s like I said before, these same posters here thought that some of these other lower court cases were going to get something done and accomplished. They didn’t. They got kicked up to the Supreme Court. So, that was the next thing that many thought would do something — that the Supreme Court would act on these cases. They didn’t and they are now running out of time before January 20th. The other thing was to inform the Electoral College voters about Obama not being qualified. The only problem is — no one had any evidence that a single Electoral College Voter accepted. The bottom line, the Electoral College voters didn’t listen and they went right ahead with their votes. The next step was that Vice President Cheney and some other Congressman were going to put forth an objection before the Electoral College Vote was certified. Did Cheney say anything about it? Did any other Congressman raise any objection about Obama’s qualifications? Nada, zip, nothing. It was certified and that was it. Next, it was something that was going to be heard right after the certification, by the Supreme Court. That was supposed to be a *strategy* of the Supreme Court to “checkmate” Obama (doncha know...). Nothing there either. Nothing happened. Now, it’s something that is going to happen *after* the inauguration. After the inauguration, some has posted that there’s going to be a sheriff or marshall walk into the White House and escort Obama out and we’ll have another President after that happens. Can it be any funnier!?

Just from the track record, one can safely say *nothing* is going to happen there — and Obama is going to be in office and working with Congress to get bills through as fast as possible in these first few days and weeks and months.

BUT, many of the posters here are going to be *fervently working* on those documents, perhaps trying to start other court cases themselves, perhaps joining court cases, perhaps giving money to court cases — while Obama and the Congress sail right through with their legislation (with many others scurrying around with the Qualifications issue). The more I think about it, it seems to be worth quite a bit for Obama to have sidetracked so many, so they can’t put their energies anywhere else on his legislative programs that he’s going to be putting through with the Democrat Congress. It would seem to be pretty smart on Obama’s part. It’s too bad that some conservatives aren’t as smart to not fall into Obama’s trap.

That leaves only Monday.

Not even that.

Monday is a federal holiday.

All federal courts will be closed in observance of MLK Day.

So they only have two hours today and the hours between 8:00 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. on Tuesday.
