DO YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE ANY NOTION OF THE PESTILENCE YOU HAVE CALLED UPON OUR HEADS?
...
Bottom line on the obama effect:
1. Israel is now alone: Unless you believe the Israelis will rely on someone who entered Pakistan on an Indonesian passport as an adult for its security.
War with Iran by Israelis inevitable. Same will never be approved by the Dalibama. Israel must act alone or accept an Iranian Nuclear presence. I don’t believe an existensial threat of this type will be accepted by the Holocaust survivors, and I can’t blame them for feeling this way. Middle East War soon.
2. Dollar collapse by summer now assured. If you thought Bushes economic management incompetant, and it is; wait till you see Waxman, Barney Frank, Pelosi and Harry Reid and Obama and what they will do.
Think “Franklin Raines” multiplied 100 times.
3. Nationalize 401K’s. Won’t work, but guarantees no more savings in America. Bank runs will come sooner rather than later. They will close the banks. When they reopen your account balance will be missing a zero. Or do you think the Government will pay 4 trillion dollars in deposits in cascading bank defaults?
4. Raise Taxes of ALL types. Income, capital gains, excise: Same effect. No capital formation, no savings and, of course, lower Tax revenues. Depression assured.
5. Weaker Military: International Predators will fill the power vacuum. Wars will break out. I am divided on this one. One wonders whether the US military if commanded by Obama, to be deployed abroad, and broke.
6. Gun Control: Restive population will react, negatively. NO one will turn in firearms. Arms will abound.
7. More Government Controls on movement, money, everything.
But With no money to enforce its edicts, there will be corruption in the federal ranks. We will become a country of “Who you know”.
And, to some degree local federal protection rackets.
Government legitimacy already low, will dissipate further. We will start looking like a third world country. If Obama is around long enough, we will look like Kenya, and if he is around long enough , Zimbabwe.
Remember he supported Odingo in Kenya, and odingos atrocities, so we know obamas political bent if he can get away with it.
8. Higher Gas and other commodity prices. You think the Democrats will give anyone a permit to dig or Drill? They will relegislate the 1879 Mining act into the nonmining act of 2010.
No one in the US will even know what I am talking about. But They will know higher prices for coal, and any and all other minerals drawn from the ground. There will be no money to import it, so prices will skyrocket.
Inflation, and severely reduced standards of living will be accelerated by the Obama administration on anyone making less than 1,000,000 a year.
9. Scandal: There will be a hundred “new”Franklin Raines in Government. People with the intellect of Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Calypso Louie Farrakhan. All of whom live in Obama’s neighborhood. Bill ayers archtypes will run things. It will be a mess. Again, lower expectations for and less legitimacy of the Central Government.
10. Black peoples raised expectations of “free Gas, free Mortgage “ as expressed by one typical voter will be dashed. There is No money. There are only more debt instruments to be sold into markets awash in debt intruments.
Sure the Social security and retirement checks will go out, but they will purchase 1/2 of what they do today.
Same for medicare, Medicaid, Government housing, Foodstamps.
You will get “Free” medical care. Just no doctor or medicine. Yet, these expenditures will go through the roof. Yearly deficits will now go to 1 trillion 2008, 2 trillion 2009.
Who will lend the money? No one. It will be printed.
Treasury quarterly refundings will have no bids at interest rates twice present levels by the summer of 2009. AT double , that is 400 basis points more, and then triple is 800 basis points more, in interest payments on US Debt.
US Interest payments on 12- 13 trillion in debt ALOne will cost another 1-2 trillion dollars 2 years before Obama leaves Office. within 24 months He will be very, very busy just trying to keep the Government open for business on a quarterly, then monthly, then weekly basis.
I predict there will never be an annual budget resolution in Congress during Obama’s term. Sounds dire, yes? A truly whacked out prediction? I am crazy, yes?
Actually it is an easy prediction to make. As it has already happened. We are in such straits now.
We are on a continuing resolution for Government operations until March 2009. So there will be no planning as budgets will have no annual beginning, nor fiscal year end, Ever again in the history of the treasury department of the United states.
All the above guarantees a hyper inflationary depression.
When empires implode their commodity lifelines are cut.
Especially debt based empires, with no manufacturing base.
Obama will be forced to surrender the nation or go to War. He doesn’t strike me as one worth following in either event.
My personal opinion is he really won’t be able to decide what to do or even handle the stress of the decision making process. His habit and practice and established tendency is to vote “Present”.
For perspective, he will make Carter and Mcgovern look strong.
Such weakness tempts this country’s strategic competitors to put him and this nation against the wall. What a place to be and led by this clown? it really is over. Would you fight for him? Would you give him your child to fight? Get real, few will give him anything but the finger he so enjoys giving others.
11. The US will now agree to the law of the Sea, the sovereignity of International courts, non us based Central banking, a supreme court subject to being overruled by the UN; in short serious moves will be made to end US sovereignity both domestic and international.
Obama has stated he favours all of this and so does the present leadership of congress. The vaccinated, floridated, publicly educated, American people don’t know what I am talking about in this paragraph.
It will happen. Interstingly, I don’t think the rubes who voted for this guy will care,the ones that understand that is, the implications, even as their wages decline to minimum wage or less.
I think those that understand will approve of tolerating those intolerant of their very existence; and of that of the US as a Constitutional republic.
We have now reached the tipping point where a rapidly declining middle class can no longer even vote to keep itself in existence; and keep what little it has from being redistributed to those who do not produce.
The middle class will be snuffed out. There will be rich and poor and no more.
11. National bankruptcy, previously inevitable, now will occur much more rapidly.
Obama is the Banksters creation he is happy to sell the nation out to the international bankers.
The treasury will fund at the Taxpayers expense the greatest increase in national debt ever, even bigger than Bush.
It will primarily be used to fund the Banksters purchase of entire industries , their stock and troubled bonds, at 10% of their actual value. The taxpayers will be left with the bill. Massively increased concentration of business, banking, insurance, etc in fewer and fewer hands will now occur.
You will be allowed to sweep floors, if you sweep faster than the other forty who applied for the job and for less than minimum wage. If you don’t believe me, it can only be because you have never been to or lived in a third world country. I have met so many university degreed taxi drivers in such lands I lost count long ago.
12. The American people elected him. They will get what they deserve.
The religionists will say the suffering emanates from legalized abortion, homosexuality, and pornography. I think such contentions highly controversial, and inconclusive as national bankruptcy approacheth regardless and it matters not a wit at this point whether such moral quandries were resolved differently.
Unless Jonah appears, or even more focusing, Elijah and Elisha appear, Broke is still broke. Actually worse than broke, indebted to the tune of 100 trillion…that we know about, and with only more promises to pay in paper available to service the debt.
When a people elect an empty suit, a transparent liar, an illegal alien to safeguard their patrimony, an international multicultural man of a different religion than that of this nation it speaks of national moral bankruptcy both of the electoral process and the people.
In the reckoning of such moral indebtedness, history shows over and over that such a people will get what they deserve for believing such empty, impossible, promises, and in trusting such a man.
Lets face it. He is no Cinncinatus, nor Pericles, nor Winston Churchill.
For Obama supporters, I am saying Obama is no Jack Kennedy.
In a Democracy, at some point the people in the cart over time vote for themselves the redistribution of the entire wealth of those pulling the cart. Such nations end up on the ash heap of history. America’s self appointed destiny and destruction are now upon us, and it will arrive much sooner given these election results.
The summer of 2009 will be sheer hell in the Bond markets. By 2010 there won’t be a bond market. Unless you call to buy US treasuries yielding 30% annually as junk paper…a bond market.
These are just a few of the hundred other things this guy will do to purposely ruin the country he hates.
And if you object, you won’t be able to speak due to the fairness doctrine, at least not to large audiences. Heck, Mcain felt you shouldn’t be able to Email 500 people w/o federal registration.
And that is now the law. I did not vote for him either. He is Obama “Light”. An offer from the duopoly political system to allow the pretension it is free.
I question the willingness of the American people to throw off the shackles that Bush and now this guy will put on. They don’t have it in them anymore.
The country has been lost some time ago in my Opinion. Now that Obama has succeeded in his dream of becoming captain of the Titanic, very, very turbulent times lie directly, immediately ahead. At the election celebration on TV, I think I see some people now having fun throwing snowballs on deck from an iceberg that they heard came near the ship of state when Obama was declared elected.
Anyone making under 100k a year will get crushed. Anyone making over that will get really hurt. Survival is now an issue and in play. Time to look long and hard at lifeboats.
Congratulations to Lord Hussein Obama, the merciful, on his victory, may peace be upon him. I refuse to entertain delusional hopes that the US Supreme Court will factually investigate Obama’s Kenyan Birth.
As a lawyer in US District Court daily, I lost hope in those forums as objective seekers of truth long, long ago.
Enjoy the election celebration party. Obama and his unfettered friends will do a lot of damage in 2 years.
When the sheeple recover and vote in Republicans in the house and Senate in 2 years to slow down the disaster, the damage will be done.
Obama knows how much time he has. Moreover, like my feelings about Federal courts, I hold little delusional hope that the party that gave us MCcain will stop or fix anything really.and by then it really will be too late.
The iceberg has already struck, The Titanic cannot now be saved, go enjoy the band playing on the quarterdeck, they are really quite good.
BTW: IMPORTANT NOTE!! This is MY 10th Anniversary on Free Republic, I joined on Nov 9, 1998. In that time I have posted 190 articles and slightly over 10,000 responses! That is an average of 1000 postings a year, or 3 a day.
If the libs think the financial sector is bad now, wait until they see what happens when millions of people empty their 401Ks (accepting the penalty and tax liability) rather than see the government take the $$. Billions (trillions?) withdrawn from stocks and other investments -- no economy could withstand that. Wouldn't help the rest of the world, either.
Jack Black's 10th Anniversary on FR ... PING !!!

NEVER SURRENDER! MOLON LABE !!! My flag flies high !!!
Man, that’s a suicide creator, if ever there was one! I can’t hunker down, if there’s nothing to hunker down with.
My Dad told us last night he is distributing as much of his estate before the laws change by the end of the year as he can so Obama doesn’t rape his estate when he dies. He’s trying to figure out how much he needs to live on for the rest of his life. And we’re meeting with lawyers so he can give it to us in as much shelters as possible.
When he talked to his lawyer the lawyer told him he was the 22nd client to call since the election and the call was made on Wednesday afternoon. We meet on Monday.
My Dad is the millionaire next door type those who will be really hit by this. He built a company from the ground up and took a hit to sell it to his employees 2 years ago for 15 million instead of the 18 or so he could have gotten on the market.
Note how the small to medium non corporate owners supported Mccain while the super rich support Obama.
My Dad has never gotten a cent from the government. He has employed around 100 people at any given time and paid them well and they paid taxes. He paid corporate taxes and personal taxes up the whazoo. He raised 4 children who are all productive citizens successful married with kids.
He also has given generously of his money and time to charity especially his church.
That’s a typical evildoer to Obama.
But.... but... this is the conservative agenda, is it not??!?!?!
Something the Founding Fathers neglected to mention in the Declaration and Constitution but upon which the GOP and "conservatives" must focus their perennial efforts above and to the exclusion of all else, right!?!
Forget about that "small government" and "limited taxation" stuff, to heck with that darned "liberty". Who needs it? That's for Goldwater geeks and weenies.
Elmer Gantry for the GOP POTUS candidate! That's the ticket.
Jeez. Why don’t you merchants of doom go blow your brains out and leave the rest of us alone?
If they weren’t a bunch of mindless idiots I’d almost feel sorry for a lot of Obama’s supporters because they think he is going to save them. I know so many delusional people I thought were pretty smart before now.
I only posted a total of 17 threads and got 34,748 replies in my 10 here......happy anniversary here at FR Jack !
Stay safe !.......:o)
So many Germans stayed silent in the 30s thinking things would blow over.
happy anniversary happy anniversary happy anniversary happy anniversary.
By the way I met the actor with the same name at a Cubs game. Odd man.
Kind regards to you- you're a plank owner here.
I'm running a file on The New Little Big Fraud:
America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...
Click the picture:
The income tax is bad enough, but I see a wealth tax on the horizon where you will be taxed based upon how much you’re worth too.
Also, Obama wants a carbon tax. Anyone driving a car is going to pay higher gasoline prices to pay the tax and I would not be surprised that in exchange for US govt bailout, Obama will demand a carbon tax on new vehicles, expecially for V8 engines and large diesels.
I hope the remaining GOP Senators stand together and fight this.
Well, that was cheery.
we will have no public pension and my husbands expected private pension and medical care after retirement went up in smoke with the bankruptcy of his company....
a little too young to withdraw our bit of 401ks ...
we have no idea what to do....
.work less to appear poorer?..
learn how to be tax cheats ?
earn money under the table?
we are not even to the point of giving away our bit of money...we still have some mortgage to pay off...
Young whippersnapper....LOL. Either that or I am long in the tooth having been here since Jan 16th, 1998!
About your post though, I beleive that it is no small reason that gun sales have skyrocketed recently...
We are going to do everything we can to protect our money from Hitler’s love child.
Hey, congrats on your longevity at FR. Ya got me beat by a couple years.
This article is hair raising. I feel like stuffing every dollar I have into my mattress or something.
And the really frustrating part is that it seems all we can do is “wait and watch”.
Arrghg.
May God Bless Your Dad!
One of the problems I have with this article is that it’s another article that just assumes that the majority of voters will definitely vote for conservative Republicans in ‘10 and ‘12, and I honestly don’t see any serious political changes happening for the next sixty years, if ever, no matter how much damage a President Obama and a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate end up doing. Also, the MSM will be in the tank for Obama and for the Democratic majority in the next Congress for as long as humanly possible, if not for Obama’s entire duration as POTUS, and their ongoing anti-conservatism and ongoing anti-Republicanism will succeed in getting enough voters to actually not vote for either conservatives or for Republicans as well as be even worse than what we all witnessed with the MSM during the entire duration of the ‘08 elections. There will also be even more ignorant voters and even more stupid voters in both ‘10 and ‘12 than the total numbers that existed in ‘08, IMHO. Political correctness, in total, really harms the whole world, and political correctness will also continue to get even worse for everybody everyday all over the world, which only improves the “political left’s” chances for political victory even more during each and every future election.
I am waiting to see when Oprah’s obscene wealth will be shared among all.
He neglected to mention that every single person reading his article is going to die.
Actually, I see a lot of validity in his comments and things really are quite bleak. That is especially so for posterity and the idiot Sesame Street raised brood that actually secured this jackals (aka Hussein) power seizure with their mindless votes.
I think you are a troll. :)
Thank you.
One thing my Dad does is work with young entrepeneurs (sp) to help them get their own businesses started including a lot of young blacks. Some of them have told my Dad they are tired of people assuming they support Obama. More education more likely to not.
Funny story is he has had several babies named after him by these young successful black men after they married and one family has 3 kids Shanequa Antiqua and Steve.
He does 10 times more for the black community than the Jacksons, Sharptons and Obamas of the world.
Jesse, Al and Barack believe in the hand out approach my Dad is into the hand up approach.
I agree pretty much across the board.
I would have added that the hard-left is behind this and they are not completely unconscious of the damage they will do — it is by design — they have to scare the crap out of you to get you to stop fighting for your freedom and against them.
When the population is truly frightened and lost — this is when you will see the aweful things I have been sounding the alarm over for years.
The purpose of all of what you are seeing is to crush capitalism, to destroy “whiteness” (the culture that brought individualism and capitalism to the people and is its strongest defender), eliminate pesky individual freedom, end US sovereignty, raise up socialism/communism and join “us” with other nations.
Just take their agenda and draw it out to its logical end — it’s not that hard to see.
I’m not saying 0bama will do all of this in his term but he will make great progress towards this end.
His biggest asset may be that the MSM will sell his agenda and cover for him — he virtually owns the press.
This may be the most well-manned and intelligent leftist take-over in history — it is being executed by “Americans”, folks — they are worthy adversaries, to say the least.
One thing I heard is if he imposes penalities on companies moving jobs out of the USA what will happen is all the big cities will hermorrage jobs to the states that don’t have state and local taxes out the whazzoo.
I live in Illinois and know of 3 different medium sized companies that left Illinois already to much business friendlier states.
“Jeez. Why don’t you merchants of doom go blow your brains out and leave the rest of us alone?”
The real problem is the ignorance of people like you who will, under no circumstances, open their eyes to see what is being done to them and their country.
Doom and gloom is EXACTLY right — there’s a start.
I will soon be switching to my set flown during dishonorable Presidents: The Gadsden Flag and the Marine Corps flag.
There was a very neat fiscal trick the other day....and I think it was unnoticed...that was lowering of the interest rate: so, what happens here is “”they” reduce the income of folks that live on interest bearing accounts, and provide relief for folks that have gotten in over their heads with interest charging accounts, eg, mortgages and credit cards....speading the wealth has already started....
So, he is saying that he didn't vote for McCain? In that case, the guy facilitated Obama.... why should we give him any creditability here?
“So, he is saying that he didn’t vote for McCain? In that case, the guy facilitated Obama.... why should we give him any creditability here?”
Because there was no shortage of reasons why a true conservative would not want to vote for McCain. Only those who were willing to compromise would have voted for McCain.
Hell, I had to hold my nose, grit my teeth, have a few drinks and beg the universe for forgiveness to vote against 0bama via this hybrid pol.
No self-respecting conservative could have been enthused about supporting McCain. Many didn’t support him at all, and I, for one, cannot blame them.
That’s a typical evildoer to Obama.
How very unpatriotic of your father! /sarc
He sounds like a great man.
I don't know what kind of business he ran but I would have loved to work for him.
The GOP facilitated Obama by throwing its weight behind McCain before the Florida primary.
McCain was just as un-electable then as he was on Tuesday.
I think they should start by confiscating the wealth of Warren Buffet and George Soros.
Not sure about Buffett, but definitely agree with taking Soros’ wealth. He’s already been funding the Democrats for this election. Let him feed the whole country for a while.
Don’t you think mighty Israel can take its own garbage out? Maybe they should have fought the last local HezBullies roundup with more aggressive tactics? When a democracy fights a war it must expect to have casualties? The nations leadership can’t waste time and treasure with half measures. Why is Israel allowing the Pallies to bring truckload after truckload of new missles into the levaint? Why does the USA always have to prop up this sorry excuse of a county? We hear these great stories about the bravery of the people of Israel? Time to take your garbage out! Half measures never win or maintain democracy. Stand up and Step up Israel. I’ll be praying for your victory
That is why is stated so many time that 2/3 of Americans are brain dead. Most of these idiots will never wake up. The rest will cry and moan, woe is me. Damn what a bunch of as2holes these people are to follow all that cult communist BS.
I'm pretty sure Buffet thinks the patriotic thing to do is give to the state, give until it hurts.
Hahahahaha. That's what my wife said, and she doesn't even read FR. Considering the withdrawal penalty, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Considering that most people have to quit to even be able to transfer the money to another account, it might as well be already gone - who wants to give up a job in this economy?
I will pay off my mortgage, fit the house for solar power, buy some emergency food stores and some ammunition.
This next 4 years and beyond will be bad. It's just a matter of degree.
Seriously, Jack....you and I both know that once BO starts pulling this crap the huddled masses will awaken and wonder what the hell is going on.....and we ( the hard core conservatives ) will be there to tell them.....fear is a great motivator......the strong ( us )will survive and remake this country after the collapse.....and maybe a collapse isn't such a bad thing......get's rid of the dead, rotten wood.....but it's good you posted it.....like you said, for posterity to show we were aware of what these bastards will be trying to do.....and how we stopped them !
OboomA is a Socialist. The end. He wants to take the money from the hard working families in America and give it to the ones with lower salaries and the ones who are too lazy to get a job (like the illegals). The whole talk of classes... it’s Marxism. Plain and Simple.
On the horizon, hell.
It is in sight. It will begin in ernest January 21, 1009.
Yeah, blow your brains out...how dare you tell us that things will get bad under our Dear Leader!!
You’re like those fear mongers who told Jews to leave Germany when Hitler was elected Chancellor, or like those silly Russians who told their friends to leave Russia because some guy named Lenin was preparing to kill all the landlords, priests, farmers and land-owners.
You’re just like that fool Churchill who had the absurd notion that Neville Chamberlain was a weakling and the UK would suffer because of Hitler!
So...yeah, go away!
