The Obama Temptation
NRO ^ | October 25, 2008 | Mark R. Levin

Posted on 06/22/2014 6:57:13 AM PDT by gasport

I’ve been thinking this for a while so I might as well air it here. I honestly never thought we’d see such a thing in our country – not yet anyway – but I sense what’s occurring in this election is a recklessness and abandonment of rationality that has preceded the voluntary surrender of liberty and security in other places.

The question is whether enough Americans understand what’s at stake in this election and, if they do, whether they care. Is the allure of a charismatic demagogue so strong that the usually sober American people are willing to risk an Obama presidency? [Oct. 25, 2008]

*************************

Well, America took the risk .... and we now see what damage Obama has wrought.

I prefer the term: giant GAS BAG.

And we will also see what kind of leader the GOP can come up with.

It wasn’t that difficult to predict.

This post is relevant but sorely dated.

No one here has ever fallen for the Obama “allure”. ANd I trust that only a handful of people will fall for the Hillary “allure”.

Great post.

What a trip down memory lane; those halcyon days when we still had hope that our American brethren would see these things before it was too late.

Before the dark days began in earnest.

Before each day really did hold a fresh hell.

Obama was just the coup de grâce of a marxist movement that has been operating in this country for nearly a hundred years.

Whenever I see a car with an Obama bumper sticker it reads in my head, “screw you pal.”

“The question is whether enough Americans understand what’s at stake in this election and, if they do, whether they care”......

The answer is the low information voters do NOT want to change things. These are the “takers” who have been put in place by the lawless who govern so they will continue to vote them into office and keep the gravy train coming their way. With even more coming via amnesty, it will only make matters worse and conservatism will never again see the light of day. I will continue to fight against them with the remaining years I have, although not many.

Your comment sums it up perfectly, and oddly enough, I haven’t seen it expressed so simply and elegantly before. Post of the week, if I may be so bold.

The article on Drudge about the feud between the Clintons and Obamas is interesting.

Obama lives in a vacuum where he is right all the time. The frightening thing is we’ve got 2 1/2 more years to go with this delusional person at the helm.
