Novak said. “If they’d been around as long as I have, they’d realize that it isn’t heaven, and they don’t have a permanent invitation to stay anyway.”

As members of the party of death and communism, they'll have a permanent invitation to stay for an eternity in hell.

In fact, Keene tells Newsmax, Obama did not win for the reasons he thinks he did, ...

Obama knows perfectly well why he won. Cheating, lying, taking illegal contributions, silencing all questions...but I guess he really can't talk about that. And not to fear, there will be a lot more of it for the next 4 years.

I believe much of this is very true.

There are high expectations for Obama. Ones he cannot possibly meet. When he lets them all down AND they see his true agenda the pendullum will swing back to the right due to the disillusioned voters.

Obama really has no idea what he is in for since he has absolutely no experience and governing anything! He is going to have some major mis-steps. You just wait and see.

He will over reach because he believes the voters gave him a mandate to do as he pleased.

We’ll see how that works out for him...and unfortunately for us innocent bystanders.

It's difficult to see why due to the fact that this disreputable individual is totally devoid of content.

Our enemies have high hopes as do all the weasely domestic socialist numbskulls.

He is indeed stupid enough to think that he has been elevated to a throne.

What a dismal future for America when the spokesmen for freedom are people like Gingrich, McCain, etc.

You can see fear in his face in many of the photos taken since the election, particularly the ones taken as he exited his first top secret briefing. His face and body language show a man who bit off way more than he can chew.....

In Truth, over-reaching will begin with the UN fairness doctrine, based on Chucky Cheese Schumer's remarks comparing Talk Radio to Porn :

The problem now though, Mr. Keene, is that the demographics seem perpetually against conservatives. You should know that. It is not like 1977, as the Carterites were slowly exposed. It still took four years for the American people “to see”.

He has definitely had a, “Oh crap! What did I do look.” Plus, what happened to this “eloquent speaker” everyone has talked about. He gave my children a day of giggles over one of his speeches they came across while flipping channels.

I'm suspecting that Obama won because the conservative voters didn't turn out for McCain. The vote tally isn't that much higher than four years ago. The Republican GOTV should have been able to equal the crazies in my opinion. That means to me that McCain lost the election by his erratic behavior during the credit crisis and the voters lost whatever enthusiasm for him they had at that point.

The nickname "Stumpy O'Carter" comes to mind.

My thinking on this is as follows: Zero will upon taking office give a tax break to middle and lower class taxpayers while at the same time not raising the tax on upper income individuals, thus further increasing the debt. I'm sure even his rat advisers are telling him that raising taxes in this economic environment is a recipe for disaster. That being said, he'll go to work on issues that won't require large amounts of government expenditures to solidify his base as in the “fairness doctrine”, open ballot union elections, wacko environmental decrees, and the abolishment of “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” for gays in the military. He let's the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 thereby effectively raising taxes on the roughly 60% of the population who still pay them. If that's not enough, which it won't be, at that point he'll go down the income scale until he taxes enough people to enact his agenda. This will take place shortly after the next round of Congressional elections in 2010.

“While Obama may be too smart to fall into that trap,”

I keep seeing this sentiment. I haven’t seen any indication that it’s true. A bowlingball could have run for president in Obozo’s circumstances. For that matter a bowlingball could have been editor of the Harvard Review in his stead. Obama is intelligent but I believe he will prove in the next 18 mos, to the people who are too stupid to know it already, that he isn’t very smart.

I do know this:

My girlfriend voted for him, not because of what he stands for, but as a vote against the GOP and conservatives. She didn't take the time to research, or even believe, the facts about this man. She just hated Bush and she always votes democrat. I know that in a couple of years she'll be singing a different tune when the dems take our 401K's, and she loses her job because her small business boss can't afford her because of all the capital gains taxes. It's a tough time in my household right now, but I know one day she'll come to her senses, and I hope the other obamunists in the country do the same.

Meanwhile, it has always been the Dims that support “Piss Christ” the picture of the Virgin Mary with elephant dung on her, and Larry Flynt. You know, because those perverts who produce that porn are part of the Dim base.

Shmucky Schumer, one of the most disgusting liars the scumbag leftists of NY ever produced.

Schumer is porn and ought to be censored.

I would love to know what percent of 0’s 52% voted for him just because they were fed up with Bush. In my opinion that’s not a group that can be expected to be too tolerant of extremes and will quickly abandon him once his true agenda sees the light of day. This man won because he was in the right place at the right time. Paraphrasing Bill Whittle in NRO, it took an unpopular war, an unpopular president, a feeble economy, a collapsing housing market, unprecedented amounts of private funds, and billions of dollars in free advertising courtesy of our “Fair and Objective” media to garner him a whopping 52%. Any other time in our past or any time in the future this man gets no more than 40%.

Obama is intelligent

Any damned fool can face a crowd or a camera and appear to the clueless audience that he possesses superior intelligence.

Just consider Dan Rather for an example.

I don't doubt that, since he is at bottom a man of no physical OR moral courage. He is merely the cover that got the American public to buy the book, and all he has to do is maintain a facade... and those who have engineered his presidency will see to it that the facade is maintained no matter what the cost.

Chris Matthews has personally promised as much.

“My thinking on this is as follows:”

Your analysis suffers by being too intelligent and thoughtful. You are making the classic mistake of not seeing the blindness of the subject(s) and you project reason where the isn't or won't be any.

I used that same phrase (over reach)after Obozo’s win for the same reason it is used in the story. Obama and his flying monkey democrats have been champing and snarling at the bit in frustration for 8 looooong years. They may, at some deep level understand the need for caution but even if they do, the sheer glee at being able now to slam through damn near anything they want (they think)is going to take over. These people are going to take off like children let loose in candy land.

I don't have the slightest doubt that they will, moronically, provoke a constitutional crises inside of two years.
