Time for him to make another televised speech to all of us.

Can it be that people are finally seeing that the emperor is wearing no clothes...?

I know, I have little respect for the “independents.” Get some principles why don’t they.

That s why it is imperative to mentor a young person and if that means reading them the riot act(in a nice way) so be it.Clue them in on what is happening now and what will happen to them in the future when they are the ole gits and are the ones sadled with the enormous debt.Nothing is more fun than to watch a youngun start to get it.

Honestly i don’t think he cares because i don’t think he thinks there will ever be another presidential election.

He caught so much flak for bowing to the Saudi King, so what does he do today, he bows to Emperor Akihito of Japan. Granted the two men are not the same, neither are the two countries, but it’s an “in your face” move that he knows full well won’t sit well with Conservatives or some Independents.

And someday when he’s Emperor of the World or whatever he’s got in his head, he’ll demand those same men bow down to him.

There is no classic American zeal or passion within the "independents."

If anything, they are like the weather vane that turns wherever the wind may happen to blow at the time, as they lack the patriotism to stand up for the Republic.

Our forefathers like General Washington and Sam Adams had to deal with "independents" during America's fight for freedom and liberty against British tyranny, and they were just as irritated with the independents' fair-weather support then as we are today.

I don’t necessarily agree. While I am a registered Republican, I wasn’t for many years, and considered myself an independent, because I didn’t link my patriotism to a single party. I still don’t. I consider myself an American, not a Republican. The Republican party sometimes agrees with my point of view, and since 2001 I have never voted for a Democrat.

“Obama Is Losing Independent Voters”

What? Do they mean that many of those brilliant, intelligent, intellectual geniuses who consider themselves above the fray and so much better than those knuckle-dragging conservatives are actually taking rank with bible-and-gun-loving dolts?

/S/

IMHO

The Globe just announced a sympathy play...speculation of Obama having lung cancer, a sure attention getter.

Do you have a link? It's definitely not impossible, given the facts that he's a hopelessly addicted smoker and has been losing weight lately from an already very slim frame.

It’s not just “independents.” Many Americans DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE that their president-—ANY president-—”hates” America. It is disturbing at the most profound level, and psychologically it will take a great deal for people to “go there.” You can admit someone is incompetent, like Carter, far easier than you will admit that someone is evil. But even when someone is morally flawed, like Nixon, they still retain support. The notion that ANY elected official hates the country that brought him up, nurtured him, gave him opportunities to be where he is is absolutely alien to the public.

He could do what Clinton did in 1994 but re-inventing yourself is a tall order after a lifetime of being taught to despise and hate this country. Obama has never had to deal with losing an election. What would he do if faced with real adversity?

But what about his hair? That’s from neither his mother nor his (step)father.

The recent New Jersey race was the shape of things to come.

>> Incumbent Jon Corzine (the wealthy loser) outspent the winner Chris Chirstie about 4-1.

>> New Jersey has a huge Democratic registration.

>> Corzine bragged he would have 20,000 paid union helpers on the ground election day.

>> There was a third party candidate siphoning off Republican votes.

>> Ohaha hid $17.5 BILLION stimlulus in New Jersey.....for Corzine's reelection campaign.

>> Some 80% of the stim (read slush fund) remains unspent. Ohaha is saving it to finance 2010 Dem candidates.

>> Ohaha placed Biden in charge of the stim disbursement.

>> Some 80% of the stim (read slush fund) remains unspent. Ohaha is saving it to finance 2010 Dem candidates.

======================================

CLEARLY OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR CORZINE TO WIN Ohaha campaigned in the state three times, saying Corzine was his "partner." Biden was there twice.

Adding to the Dem disaster, Corzine had the Obama machine behind him. The NY Times reported:

(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was being screened by Obama's WH team.

(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.

(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team, and,

(d) White House operatives were on the ground for everything from internal strategy sessions to secret, obscure pep rallies with Latinos, coached to vote Corzine under several identities.

When you mix dark brown and white, you get light brown. And he has his dad’s curly African hair. The non-Euro half of his genes is clearly African, not Asian, which means his father was African, not Asian. Leave the wacked out theories to the liberals.

......what is with 0 on TV, radio, and web ads?? “Zer0 urges dads to return to college!” pops up on the AOL page and other websites and it really annoys me.........

The Ohaha crew are all on mood-altering substances.

Notice that whatever catastrophe befalls them, Gibbs, Ohaha, Axelrod, Anita and the rest of the mob, are out there smirking, grinning, quipping, glad-handing, back-slapping.........like nothing happened.

CASE IN POINT According to Ohaha's slimy Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, Ohaha was "busy with other matters" election night and wasn't really concerned with election results.

Slimy-mouth Gibbs' fatuous statement underlines that the Ovomitons are on mood-altering substances. The WH is sucking up valium and vodka in order to anesthetize themselves from the pain in the aftermath of the 2009 Republican rout.....trying to convince themselves the election was not a referendum on Obama.

THE FACTS ARE THESE Ohaha was totally invested in the 2009 Va and NJ races. Losing New Jersey was the tipping point---this was an election the WH could not afford to lose. The Corzine loss was a debacle for Ohaha.

The NY Times reported that the WH oversaw every aspect of Corzine's campaign. Ohaha campaigned there three times, Biden twice.

Too had that pulling out all the stops for Corzine made Ohaha a VERY good target for Americans disgusted with Ohaha’s policies. Harken to the White House's frantic spinning.......”the elections weren’t about us...except the one we won, that one's all about us, that one proves that the whole country loves us, and wants socialized medicine.” (Snicker)

They know they are headed into a Republican storm. The tsunami is ahead..........in 2010.

Look at his sisters hair - and his look-a-like's hair.

Even without that similarity, the others far outweigh the alternative supposition. So the question begs: Do we have our first 'black' president or our first 'Indonesian" president?

Thankfully, "wise" is not something that applies to this "president".

What TV ads? Oh wait, I don't watch TV.

You have an off switch you know.
