Yes....but no.

First, yes, I (we) knew who Obama was and what his worldview and vision were. I don’t think we realized we’d see actions actually happen like we’ve seen recently...purely evil acts like sending Taliban leaders back into the field and busing truckloads of children into our country to dump them here to manipulate for political gain.

I also thought we had dodged the worst of it by mid 2010...Obamacare was passed and Dodd/Frank, but we also saw public opinion swing strongly in our direction on a variety of issues...the AZ immigration bill, etc. We were winning the arguments and chipped away at their governing super majority and then took the House. I thought the country was shifting back to sanity and that he’d be flushed from office. I thought we mitigated the damage...only to see things flip drastically a different way since 2011.

Knowing his campus radical community organizing history, absolutely.

If the GOP runs another pro-abortion, anti-gun, socialized medicine, pro-amnesty, big government candidate, you can count on 8 years of Hillary.

Because people won't vote for the liberal republican anymore.

I’m not surprised. And while what we know about is bad enough, I fear what we don’t yet know.

Yes and it is one of the main reasons I harp on the GOP/Rino/Lesser evil thing.

When you put a man with no principle, a situational ethicist, into power, they adapt every situation to meet their desire. They do not feel constrained by anything. Not the people who elected then, not tradition, not rules or laws.

Obama is a classic narcissist. Words mean things. Actions mean things. Taken together, it shows just how destructive making excuses/rationalizing can be. Never expect someone to be something their actions scream they aren’t.

Whether the person is a Dem or a Pub.

There was a lot of fraud. The exact amount/impact has never been quantified.

I grew up in Chicago. I KNEW his assumption of the Throne would be catastrophic.

He HAS to destroy the Constitutional handover of power, or face the gallows when the truth of his corruption is exposed.

He’s nowhere near as bad as I thought he’d be ( the country is still here and the mass arrests haven’t started yet). But give him time... he may yet meet my expectations)

“I thought he WAS this bad, but didn’t think he could get away with it.”

Why did you think that? It was the criminals in the Electoral College who elected him ultimately. They could have challenged his citizenship, COLB, and the other problems, but they did not. They all know he’s a fake and they let him skate right into office.

Obama’s hate for this country runs deeper than Nidal Malik Hasan’s or Mohamed Atta’s and has nothing to do with his being Black and White. “Race” is just a pretext to rile up the crowds as it was when Alger Hiss was doing his thing.

Yes I believed he would be this bad. I knew he is pure evil. What amazes me still is the sheer stubbornness and stupidity of his supporters. How can these people remain so blind?

As bad, but absent accountability he became a Tyrant.

[Found in a radioactive weaponized microbe desert
comprising what was once known as the USA]

We first heard of an undocumented man named Obama,
Who denied all the confusion with a Kenyan and Osama;
At every turn, the man worked to have America defeated,
He weaponized the Enemy, to have Americans deleted,
Laughed he, “Congress helped me give'm MANPADs to kill ya”
.”

Obama doesn’t care what anyone thinks or who he hurts, including Democrats. We’ll see how far the Rats allow him to hurt them.

Obama is in for a bad ending.

He had hubris. I truly believe he has mental stability issues now. But if he stepped down Joe Biden would be president. We’re screwed either way.

There were only Leftists (Dem and Pub-E) on the ballot. Which one do you think should I have voted for? The Leftist or the Leftist?

I knew that it would be bad, but didn’t know from hat angle. Take it to the bank, we haven’t seen anything yet!
