Why Obama won't be a lame duck
Useful Info Nation Blog ^ | 7/26/2010 | Thomas Bryan

If you've been paying attention to politics, you've seen the video of Robert Gibbs' appearance on Meet The Press in which he concedes the fact that the GOP may win the House in November.

Although Gibbs' admission may seem like a small victory for free citizens who regularly watch the lies, newspeak, and doublespeak coming from this White House, I'm thinking Gibbs and the administration aren't too worried about the results of November. Why do I think this?

Just you wait and see what happens after November. Lame duck, schmame duck.

If the Republicans win the Congress the dude will have a dozen investigations of his administration to deal with it at the same time. Everything he does will be under the microscope. It will be joyous.

I’m hoping he’ll be impeached.

If this is the argument that Hussein will use the Rs as a foil for re-election in 2012, it is an old argument.

Of course, it may be accurate, but the alternative—having a D controlled Congress and White House, will destroy our liberty even further.

No guarantees in life, and Hussein winning re-election isn’t guaranteed. Not even a guarantee his party will want him in 2012. He is the worst.

This is Beck’s current subject. The czars have essentially overridden the legislative branch.

Another point is that if the Republicans take back Congress, Barry0 can blame the results of his first two years — which we’ll begin feeling in 2011 and 2012 — on the GOP.

“Another point is that if the Republicans take back Congress, Barry0 can blame the results of his first two years — which we’ll begin feeling in 2011 and 2012 — on the GOP.”

Paraphrasing BHO:

“They were the ones that ran the car in the ditch ya see. We pushed, and pushed, and nearly got it back on the road, and now they want the keys again!”

He thinks he’s so clever. He’s about worn that one out. And I wish someone would wear him out!

Obie will of course attempt to blame the GOP, but if they repeal Obiecare, get to the bottom of it with Fannie & Freddie MAC, cut taxes, put more money in our pockets, he’ll be talking to the wind.

It will never happen. If the GOP wins the House and Senate, those spineless wimps will never summon the courage to impeach the Kenyan traitor to our country and it's Constitution.

Really, the only way I could see it happening would
be for the democrats to become so disgusted and
outraged at some Obama action that they have to
remove him for the good of the party.

And that would have to be so egredious, so inept,
so treasonous as to not be ignored.

Still, the longer he’s in office the more mistakes he
makes and if he starts to have to scramble to cover up
he will make more mistakes. We have to be in a position
to INVESTIGATE!!!

The reason he will be re-elected are as follows:

Number 1 is he has the census being completed and will have the reapportionment numbers by mid December. Those numbers will show an overwhelming population shift to blue states with millions of before uncounted people such as the dead and millions of illegals. Remember that the census is being run out of the white house and these guys are Chavistas.

Number 2. These numbers will mean new congressional seats for democrats by 2012. Remember you only need a few people voting in each district to win a seat. They will easily take back the house in 2012 with hard core cadres at their disposal.

Number 3. This reapportionment will mean that the blue states will also control the electoral college because it is reflective of the number of congressional seats. You don’t need to win the popular vote to be president, it’s the electoral college that elects presidents and with winner take all resolutions in many states being pushed this will be an easy win for the democrats.

Number 4. There will be that smattering or RINO republicans who will continue to sabotage our side and with their help and the veto power Obama has he can obfuscate anything we try to do.

Impeachment is a waste of time and political capital. Even if the House impeached the O, you need two thirds of the Senate to convict - and the Democrats wouldn’t vote to convict if Obama murdered someone on live television.

One shouldn't attempt to predict THE future, but instead, appraise the likelihood of possible out comes.

I’m thinking Zero and pals can blame republicans in congress for everything bad happening in the future. Scapegoats is what he needs. So, we need so heavy hitting conservatives who can stand up to the leftist boobs left in Washington.

Agree with your observations on the Kenyan and what he’ll attempt to pull if the Republicans take back Congress. One thing I’d add is a way to avoid this potential problem. First, Republicans have to slash basically all forms of government spending, specifically entitlements and defense. In addition they need to offer a series of tax breaks designed to get business in the business of hiring again. Force the Kenyan into the corner with veto pen in hand and make him justify his socialism. That’s the game plan.

“but if they repeal Obiecare”

Takes 2/3 to override vetoes. Only in my wildest fantasy delusional dreams do I believe that can happen in the Nov. elections. And even if that does, there are still defectors.
