...the Obama Presidential Library be designed as a kind of cenotaph, a mausoleum of hope.

Hope & Change, you bought it, you own it.

[Crumbling sign found before the Obama pRes_ _ential Library]
"We first heard of an undocumented man named Obama ,
Who denied all the confusion with a Kenyan and Osama.
But at every turn, he worked to have our country defeated,
With every enemy and disaster, he conspired to have us deleted,
Sneered he, 'Death panels are slow, so my invasion will kill ya'."

Socialism, in the sheepcloth of hope and change,
has made an attempt, to overthrow the
American system.

However, there are many present, and more
awakening from their mesmerised sleep,
that refuse to accept and obey the boy king.

The author is on crack.

A some point the liberals posited that America was a left wing country and the Constitution was some right wing plot to destroy the moral values of Americans. To think that Obama was a failed savior because of Republican obstructionism is absurd at best and those who believe it are either ideologically blind or mentally disturbed.

Failed educational policies, failed economic policies, failed foreign policies, failed health care policies, failed energy policies, failed financial policies and on and on are so bad and so damaging that Democrats hide them from the American people or are put into the hands of protected beurocracy for execution.

What makes this administration and president the worst in the history of this country is at least the communists can make the buses run on time. This administration is too inept to even do that.

Years from now, when future societies are developing and they look at the past and what they should or should not do in forming a new government, they will realize that to be successful a country must be run as a business with a set of ethical and moral values attached and not the faculty lounge of a third rate university passing itself off as an ivy league school.

So the Hard Left is about to unleash it’s fury on Barack Obama because he was the only one who could have saved Capitalism and he did so?

The only gutless ones are the Congress for not upholding the Constitution.

> The only gutless ones are the Congress for not upholding the Constitution.

It’s a real shame we only have a few “real “ patriotic Republican members of Congress who will do the right thing. The rest sit by idly doing nothing to stop our current invasion or impeach a very obvious traitor in our midst who means to udo s very serious harm because they don’t want to rock the boat and would rather sit back enjoying all the trappings of wealth and advantage while the U.S. is dismantled piece by piece right before their very eyes. Their day is coming for failing to uphold The Constitution and do their jobs. Start putting them in unemployment lines and they might start to understand the gravity and danger that our once great nation is truly in.

Being a liberal means never having to be responsible for anything. Never admit failure; just blame someone else. And feel sanctimonious about it.

Good post.

Most Republicans have stood by and watched while the fire was burning the house down. Few bothered to grab a pail and throw water on the conflagration.

In fact, many in the GOP have obstructed the efforts of those who tried to put out the fire (i.e., the Tea Party). The GOP didn’t want their help.

Many of the sections will be empty except for this sign:

"Check the Bush Library for more information on this topic,
because it was HIS fault."
