First, they came for speech, then they came for banks, then they came for the auto industry, then they came for the internet, now they come for health care. And before it's all over, the state owns you. Every part of your existence is subsumed to the state. lots of hope and lots of change.

I suggested boycotting Tv and cancelling cable and sat TV using free internet TV. I was attacked. The newspapers are dying. His power is TV. TV knows people are hooked like fools.
BTW he is a moving a LOT faster than Chavez.

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
~Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)

This guy is worse than chavez. chavez did not take over the auto industry, the banking industry, the insurance industry and the health care industry.
He reminds me of Putin without balls.

Don’t even think that. First of all, we would get Biden/Hillary. not much different. On the other side my idea of a nightmare is this guy becoming a martyr.

This is exactly what we need. Dry up TV. Cut off the money by boycotting the sponsor's.

Like I’ve said before, millions of Americans who voted for Zero heard “change” and thought, “Yeah, we do need a change from Bush,” and who could blame them after the vicious beatings he took, daily, in the MSM. However, when Zero said, “change”, what HE meant was, “revolution.” I’ll believe that til my dying day.

” 2) change the constitution”
I haven’t studied Venezuela, but I read the news. It seems to me every time I read about Chavez and the constitution it is changing via referrendum. That is more like many states than it is our federal Constitution. (and by the way look at the mess most state constitutions have become because of referrendums).
Here we have these pesky states that have to ammend it. There are a lot of factors at play that make it harder to get them to go along. The most obvious problem is right leaning states won’t give in to a communist. The second problem is that those in power in states will not give it up freely. They will require payback, but only so many of them can be governors. Too many people want to retain their power.
The chilling thing is what the feds are trying to pull with the states and the “stimulus” money. California is being threatened. I’m sure that is act 1. Maybe they will threaten all fed funding if a state doesn’t vote to ammend, but I just can’t see it happening smoothly. There is a higher probability of some states threatening to secede if they get pushed and shoved.

Obama is making one very big mistake: he's not trying to get the military on his side. Hugo Chavez did and that aided him greatly.
