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."

That’s why it is so important that We the People find out ASAP who the hell lives in the White Hut. We know nothing about him — he is a total anonymity destroying our country.

Karate demonstration? His body language is purely girl like.
And that is as close to hand to hand combat he’ll ever see. What a revolting load - but his hollywood and MSM pals still love him and the VIEW shrews swoon over him.

To those who read my rant and think that I am wrong,
let me say I wish and pray I am, but in my heart and mind
I some how know that I am right.

I too pray this is not God's plan for America.
Amen

“Well, it almost sounds like a call to arms, doesn’t it?”

Is the Professional Left REALLY willing to DIE for the “Won!”?

Yessirree, it will be hand to hand combat, but first I have to go over to India for a 2 week trip. Oh, and enter an ashram too, then on to Indonesia to lay flowers at the child-god statue they did of me.

Are you laughing at my nuns?

It may be that I really, really, dislike you.

Of course, these are the same Nuns that told me, “Pat, you just move your lips...” in the xmas pageant. I haven’t sung since.

Come to think of it, I may have issues.

;)

Hand to hand combat? Be careful what you wish for Barry.

Are there any statesmen left in DC? Such statements imply a thugocracy.

Guess he doesn’t consider himself to be the president of pesky white people.

Those were the words of the jackass in the White House...hand to hand combat.

Carpet bombing comes to mind.

We are to hate sin, but love our enemies. Unfortunately, I’m terrible at loving my enemies and there are still some sins that I don’t hate. Maybe I get credit for the fact that I hate the fact that I don’t hate certain sins.

I hope the “corps men” walk away if he ever needs them.

>Amen, brother.
>
>And outlaw a torch. Outlaw a pitchfork. I want to see them try.

Indeed.

>I want to see this. Seriously. I want to see the escalation, not in words, but in actions, so Americans see the starkness of their choice.

I’m working up to break a couple of ordinances/statutes so I can challenge their legitimacy in court; sadly it seems no-one in an authority-position is willing to “stop the buck” on a couple of legal contradictions I’ve found.

My State Constitution says:
Sec. 6. [Right to bear arms.]
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for
lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held
to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way,
an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.

Yet there is a State Statute which prohibits firearms from campuses:
http://www.conwaygreene.com/nmsu/lpext.dll?f=FifLink&t=document-frame.htm&l=query&iid=6c1804dd.55b72e94.0.0&q=%5BGroup%20%2730-7-2.4%27%5D
AND a city ordinance prohibiting firearms in public city-parks (I don’t have the number with me now, but it should be easy for me to get the next time I go to the park — it’s on a big old sign there.)
AND there’s the other issue of Municipal and County courthouses barring weapons from their premises; absolutely and inarguably a violation of “No Municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.”

>Makes these people either abandon their tyranny or defend it.

Honestly they are likely to attack you (physically, legally, monetarily, etc) rather than give up their power; but I suppose that could be considered defending their tyranny.

>My country is worth it. My life is worth it.

I feel the same way.

>Bringing torches or pitchforks...Screw the money...That investment in my nation is worth it.

I would normally agree with you; except that my income is currently negative... and I need to make money to get food, right?

Bringing torches or pitchforks...Screw the money...That investment in my nation is worth it.

In order to do that, the Gutless Old Party will have to grow a spine. I’m afraid that it will be McCainsian “reaching across the aisle” type of politics all over again.

This is not the first time this a$$hole has THREATENED COMBAT against the American people; “get in their faces”, “if they bring a knife, we bring a gun” , now — “hand-to-hand combat”. Give me a break.

Playing tough guy bully with a country full of patriots, already pushed to the brink, is about as dumb as a guy can get.

The Coward in Chief is begging for a fight. To that I say, BRING IT ON.... make it soon.... let’s do it, BOY.

I respect the rule of law and always have, heck, I enforced the law for 30 years. BUT, I will be a slave to no man. I will not be ruled by any man. I can not be intimidated by any man.

Obama should think long and hard about the very real consequences that his Black rage gang-bang ghetto attitude and immature, unprofessional street punk actions could bring about.

A sissy man should never start what he can’t finish.

Let me ease the burden - everybody says Oboma is a liar.

But, he told “Joe the Plumber”, “We are going to redistribute the wealth.”

And he did.

So he is not a liar - he is a fascist.

He picks winners and losers in the game of life, by his whim

Thank you for the pic that reminds us all how faggy, delicate, wimpy, prissy, limp-wristed this jackass in the White House is. He talks big shot and bully boy....but get him in a one-to-one and watch him back pedal and hem and haw. You look at this guy and he gives you the creeps. He is not like you or I. We must take him down.
