Obama fools us: Whole world will pay for America's electoral mistake (A Canadian View)

“Whole world will pay for America’s electoral mistake”

I hope the hell the whole world does pay. They all wanted him elected. You reap what you sow. Don’t come begging to the US when your neighbors attack you.

He was joined by a woman who was defended so vehemently by her supporters when it was cuttingly evident that she is years away from being and perhaps never will be a serious candidate for senior national office.

Yeah, I didn't miss that either. Unfortunately, a typical Canadian view.

Feeling a 'bit' sorry for Canada; but the rest of these Countries who, will soon find their own reasons to be dispirited if not panicked, I feel less sorry for. They wanted Obama; (of couse, what did they know; given our own MSM would not tell the truth. . .but they had to ID the rhetoric; and know more than our naive citizenry.)

That said; the whole world would have been better off; if the 'nothing politician' and his maverick side-kick had won. Together, they have more integrity and authentic 'patriotism' than Obama; his entire support team; and the majority of those who voted for him.

Without that 'love of Country'; a patriotic morality, more critical than any geography lesson; America can only be the biggest loser, ever. . .

A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth.

SLICE!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!!!!! LOL!!

Obama carried College Graduates and this article is nothing more than an ignorant fantasy.

Which do you think will go first? Probably talk radio....then the porn will be forgotten because of some lame excuse of a bill. “We have more important matters to attend to”.

[john in springfield]

I may not live to 100, but the next 4 years will probably feel like it.

And who said there was no silver lining?

[prayerfullywaiting]

If we start boycotting these companies Obama and the Dems will just bail them out. Last year Ford was boycotted because of their support of the homosexual lifestlye. Sales dropped.

I hope not...since that and the Internet are the only sources I rely upon for any type of information...I canceled my cable subscription to Cox Communications back in 2006 and haven't looked back.

I have also heard from a few Constitutional Law Professors (including Hugh Hewitt) that the Fairness Doctrine is unconstitutional and could not be instated on its merits since commercial radio is part of the free market and not under public broadcasting (I may be wrong in the definition but it's pretty close, so please forgive me in advance). So there very well may be a huge fight on Capitol Hill over this.

And should Pelosi, Reid, and Obama, along with their henchmen try to ram this sticky wicket through Congress, there will more than likely be a few less House and Senatorial Democrats in Washington come 2010 and 2012.

"Have locked myself in my room because the place is full of little idiots -- who cannot spell Barack Obama's name and could not name one of his foreign or domestic policies -- running around screaming obscenities about George Bush, conservatives and how Sarah Palin is a bitch. I love democracy!"

I think many of us have had this same experience lately. Outside the student world. And here in PA, the reverse racism, where a vote against Obama presumes one is a racist (thanks, Murtha) and not any differences in political ideas. On the plus side, I watch less TV now.

[ladyvet]

And we should all give him the same support the liberals gave Bush.. That's my plan, and how can they have a problem with that?

[sneakers]

yep

[sneakers]

Actually, I agree with all except the bit about Sarah Palin. I would support Sarah for president.

[babubabu]

well, not everyone is mad...

[Theodore R.]

I don’t think the American people will ever figure out that they made a mistake. They cannot distinguish forest from trees.

[Theodore R.]

The American people are for the “fairness doctirne” because they think of themselves as imminently “fair”. Of course, the fact that they have no clue about what the “fairness doctrine” involves reflects poorly on their lack of intellect.

I'm not going to suffer. I'm going to buy a nice new house, cheap, in sunnier climes, and I am going to take long walks in the open area gazing at stunning scenes of breathtaking natural beauty, and I'm not going to lift one finger to help the rest of the world, or any of its whiners. I need nothing from the government, nothing from foreigners, nothing from snotnosed kids with sagging pants and empty heads. They can do whatever they like, and I am sure they will, and that they will pay very dearly for it. But I'm not going to suffer a lick. It is a holiday from giving a damn about any of them. To rule, to teach, to instruct, all of these mean to serve. So I don't serve for a while, I am not the loser by it.
