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."

Dead is a stable condition, is it not?
Stabilize the economy? Bwahahahaaaaaaa! You mean STANDSTILL!
Didn’t you notice how stable the unemployment rate is? Double digits!
*rolling eyes*
Beats the back stabbing we’re getting now.
Palin, Bachman, O’Donell, Cheney...these women really got him scared. Poor wimp..scared of Republican women. What a pu$$y...this is the POTUS?
Sure beats what we’ve got going on right now.

Hey!! My 7 year old daughter could take him. Don’t insult girls! :p
I didn’t look before I posted. Thanks.
Linda McMahan has experince with this and can set up a “Pay-Per-view”!
Hand to hand? Seems that there is some precedent for the judicious application of a cane in the U.S. Senate between senators Brooks (SC) and Sumner (MA) in 1856. Soon thereafter, senators were required to surrender their pistols before entering the chamber out of fear that the Civil War would commence on the senate floor. I wonder if that rule is still enforced?
H2H?
Isn’t this the same “man” who nearly climbed on his wife when they did that judo practice on the WH lawn?
Please, more like cat scratch fever....fruit.
Sorry, My apologies. LOL
I can not believe that I am about to say what I am going to say, but Obama is right! We just differ in one way and that is Obama thinks it will be ‘political hand to hand combat’, where as I think it may come to literal ‘hand to hand’ combat!
Everyone seems to think that the great ‘tsunami’ that appears to becoming in November for the Republicans will change everything and I agree just not in the way they think. I think that such a great victory will be equal to South Carolina’s firing on Fort Sumter. The ‘DemoncRATs’ and the leftist will ‘go to the mattresses’ and ‘war’ will breakout
Does Obama/Pelosi/Reed ortheir kind seem like people who can take a loss gracefully? Do they seem like people who will learn from a loss and correct their course accordingly? Or do they seem more like people who will go to any lengths for revenge?
So many seem to think that November’s elections are some ‘Magic Wand’ that will wipe away our troubles! Let me tell you after such a win (if it happens) the REAL TROUBLE WILL BEGIN!
Yes the Republicans will more than like scored big this November, but will the ‘DemonRATS’ learn anything? Hell NO for that matter will the RINO’s learn anything? Just read from any number of articles on O’Donnell win, look at what Rove and Snowe have said, look at what Murkowski and Crist are doing, look at how the Republican Leadership of RINO’s allowed Murkowski to keep her committee positions! Doesn’t these acts show you what will be learned from such a victory, LITTLE if anything! The Elitist Jerks of both parties are scrambling for their political lives and they know it!
Oh you say but those ‘DeamonRATS’ up for re-election in 2012 will learn fear, they will be scared to the ‘middle’. First the middle of the road is way you get run over, being in the middle of the road is what got the Republicans butt kicked in 2008! They won’t pass anything with the the people so opposed, BS! DO any of you remember the crowds that surrounded Congress during the ‘Obamacare’ vote? Did it scare them?
Look about you it’s not only the ‘DemonRATS’ but the RINO’s as well who refuse to see that they have brought, supported and passed an agenda that the American People have rejected. They still feel that they know best and any defeat will only come about due to the ignorance of the electorate.
I have posted this before and I will keep posting it (I am beginning to feel like Paul Revere:THE RADICAL PROGRESSIVES ARE COMING!) because I know in my heart that I am right about this, too many are thinking that the upcoming November elections are going to reset everything. And I say that NO matter how bad November is for the ‘DemonRATS’ you can bet that ‘Zero’ and his kind will not only press on with their agenda but DOUBLE Down on it! And now it looks as if there will be RINO’s looking for their revenge from getting their butts kicked out that will join them.
I don’t believe that the November elections will immediately change a thing! The Washington creatures both Democrat and RINO still believe that they know best and will act accordingly.
Even if there is the BIGGEST turnover in history this November the Obama/Pelosi/Reid are such a pack of narcissist that they will come back during the ‘lame duck’ session and pass every far left-wing bill they can think of!They will burn the house down before they surrender it! If they can’t drink from the well they will poison it for all! They can’t keep it they will surround it with mines and keep anyone else from getting to it.
Even after the ‘lame’ duck session you will see the the greatest attempt by any President in our history to rule by executive order! ‘Zero’ KNOWS BEST what is good for us and he will act accordingly. No mere election won by a bunch of peasants or as ‘Zero’ describe us: “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” To ‘Zero’ such a election will hold no meaning and only be the ‘peasants acting out’ and he knows what is best for those ‘bitter clingers’ and he will do it to save them from themselves!
If anyone thinks that a big loss in November will make one iota of difference in Obama and the ‘Demonrats’ leftist agenda you need to seek professional help immediately, because I assure you that the sounds you will hear coming from them after such a lost will not be the ‘wailing and gnashing of teeth’ it will be the notes of El Degüello.

IMHO the November elections will NOT provide the immediate relief we think, but will instead it will be the ‘dropped gauntlet’ the slap across the face the challenge that will bring us to what I call a National ‘Battle of Athens’ moment ( http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnnews/kns001.htm )
A time in which it will require much more action that punching a ballot to save the Republic. There is so little ‘middle ground’ left and what there is, is shrinking everyday. There will soon be a time of great choosing and you will be required to make a stand: Choose this day how you will serve; Will you serve unwillingly and at the bidding of others wearing the yoke of socialism or will you hold true to the course of our forefathers’ standing tall and serving freely? As for me I choose to SERVE THE REPUBLIC!
We need to show up on the WH lawn with Pitchforks and Torches.
We can pass them out to the new leaders of the new congress, and tell them we expect them to do this ‘combat’...
This can accomplish 2 things. One: the symbolism can’t be ignored. We’re angry, we expect action. Their word is no longer enough. So the new leadership sees we mean serious business. Two: It arms them for their own public demonstration in the House and on the Senate floor...Obama will have taken to his hand-to-hand combat empty handed.
I will gladly start making hay into torches and dipping them in pitch...
Who’s willing to drive up a truck load of pitchforks?
“Obama also made a direct appeal to African Americans about the importance of the November vote,”
No doubt how Obama sees this conflict, which is why he wants open borders. HE sees this as a racial struggle. At least he’s dropped the pretense.
Bring it....
>Almost time to vote from the rooftops!
Something like this? [skip to about 1:00.]

>It saddens me that I cannot even see the person who counters my vote, because that person either never existed or is dead.
Too true; I have an anti vote-fraud scheme that would fix it:
Allow citizens to escort the ballot-box, watch the counting and certification, and shoot anyone who “finds” a box of ballots.
[ Did I forget the qualifier ‘armed’? ;) ]
