“Vero Possumus” which translates roughly to “Yes We Can”

In some rural locals down south it translates into "fresh road-kill"....get the stove ready.

"Here's another one of them 'vero possumuses'.....we got us enough now for two meals!"

In addition, didn’t the so called stimulus bill give several billion to ACORN, the government organization already shown to be heavily involved with dem voter fraud?

I sense no matter how bad things deteriorate in the future, even if 60 percent votes against him, O will still win, handily.

I’ve been saying this since day one. Obama’s biggest failing is that he is an arrogant SOB.

If Bambi keeps his nose up like that, he's going to bump his noggin on the door arch of Marine One... again.

I have trouble with anyone that is that conceited. If you could buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth you could pay off the national debt.

Reading this, I am reminded that the 52% of the American people really are either stupid of misinformed.

I used to wonder how Hitler could come into power in Germany back in the 1930's. I also used to think it could never happen here. Sadly I don't think that anymore.

I used to think the same. Some elderly people who lived through those times and are now in the US shake their heads and say that they recognize the signs, though. Not long ago I read an article written by an old German lady; perhaps someone can find it?

And I have had talks with an old man who actually was in the German Army as a youngster. He thinks Obama taps into the same well of hysteria and foolish gratitude to which Hitler appealed. He reminded me that though we today see the wartime photos of Hitler and feel revulsion, when Hitler rose to power he was considered handsome, cultured, sweet-natured, reasonable, and charming. The Germans elevated him at a time of great national distress and thought he'd solve their problems, as we have done with Obama. The elevation of a monster can take place in many cultures.

He fell silent then and did not attempt to defend the behavior of the Germans afterward, but I could well imagine certain groups of Americans yielding to the worse aspects of their nature, too.

Yes, it has given me, too, great clarity in just how Hitler could have come into power. They scoffed at him, at first. And then he started getting the low-lifes to enforce his policies; they had no qualms about beating up Jews, arresting innocent folks, harrassing, etc.

Way too much like the ACORN folks.

His coronation was $170 Million not 40. Can we get a refund on that bomb?

Pray for America and Our Troops

Good article....except for the "electing him to the Presidency in a near landslide" bit.

"Pride (arrogance) is the most Satanic of character flaws and it is Obama's most salient feature"

Quite similar to Jimmah in this attribute.
