Nah.
California may be getting close, but I think he really prefers Cuba, Venezuela or Mao’s China
He likes those fullblown communist states just fine, but would not like the privation that infects those so fully. I think he prefers Europe, where there is 1) the illusion of some luxury and elegance, 2) regulation of everything, 3) total gun control, 4) all union all the time, 5) 5 parties that pretend to be different but really are just different kinds of socialists, 6) benefits that will never be paid for, and 7) tax rates that amount to upwards of 80%.
Europe is a Titanic that is taking on huge water, but it still looks good to nitwits like our American left.
If it weren’t for aging parents, we would have been out of here before the recession hit. Now we’re stuck. Although, it’s a perfect 78 degrees here in South Orange County. That is the only thing we still have going for us.
Well, as the GOP won major gains in the 2010 elections, Democrats stayed firmly in control of California.
The Democrats have comfortable majorities in both the State Assembly and the State Senate.
Every single elected constitutional officer in California, from governor on down, is a Democrat.
For better or worse, there is no way that Democrats can blame anything of a political nature on Republicans. Democrats control the levers of power in California, and have complete control. Whatever happens in California, the Democrats own it.
Or, to look at another way, Democrats have free reign to implement Democrat dream legislation in running a major American state, without the need to compromise with anyone else. We can see what an unfettered Democrat control of a state looks like.
Prediction: Obama will run for the Govenorship of California shortly after leaving the White House. You heard it here first.
True-
Hands-outs to each of the Democrats’ constituencies: Unions; Blacks; Hispanics; Unwed Single Parents; Unemployed; College kids; Feminists; Radical Environmentalists; MultiCulturalists; Public Schools Teachers; GLTBs; etc etc.
Nah! That’s a step down. Will earn $m speaking fees and try to be an internationalist do-gooder “statesman” like Clinton. And we’ll have the Obama Library funded by Soros, Buffett, Goldman Sachs; and the Hollywood moguls.
Zer0 and the 1st Wookie as DickTators.
Probably best to go homeless in an RV and get a Wyoming citizenship.
public employee unions are a conflict of interest
always have been always will be
California has social programs staffed by union workers for just about everything - except teaching morality, work ethic and how to get off the rolls of social services. If union workers taught people how to be self-sufficient, there would be no need for said union workers, and that’s completely unacceptable to said union workers, who want jobs for their grandpa, uncle, nephew and cousins in social services, too.
I’m not abandoning Calif, but I am tootsweet exiting suburbia Sacramento and leaving it to the ever-increasing masses of unwashed poor, who, no doubt, will burn the town down - speed rail and all - when the social services checks stop coming, about 3 years from now, I’m guessing. Of course, the union workers will still get paid, it’s just the unwashed masses who’s checks will stop coming.
I’ll keep praying, tho, for some miracle immigration of about 5 million or so Republicans to join those hanging in here to wrestle the Golden State back from the unions, who’s own livelihood depends on producing everincreasing masses of unwashed poor who they control with dreams of entitlements.
Just like Detroit.
Obamanomics = Swedich taxes on Ethiopian wages.
” Will earn $m speaking fees and try to be an internationalist do-gooder statesman like Clinton”
Yes, that makes more sense.
I think Obama would be a good governor of California. He missed his calling.
What?Obama couldn’t successfully manage a fast food restaurant.
California just needs to be able to create money out of thin air to make it a perfect libtard paradise.Then they won’t need no steenkin balanced budgets.
“Progressive” policies will eventually drive the States over the brink financially & morally, ushering in “Caliphornia” in its wake...
Wouldn’t you rather he be governor of CA than President of the US? CA is such a basket case anyway.
What I really want is him in Levenworth Kansas.Forever.
