I suspect that the future contains two nations where America had one.

My #17 echoes yours.

My fondest wish and what I live for: to see Palin get sworn in on January 20, 2013 with Obama sitting there.


Yes, I can see it too.

Reality happened!

No amount of Marxist meddling can change human nature. People will act in their own self interest. We are not looking for a government that will dictate how we live. Any government that tries to force people to act in the interest of some Utopian dream will always fail.

>>> Lincoln did indeed assemble a cabinet “to rebuild
>>> the nation after the civil war.”

NO, HE DID NOT.

He built his cabinet at the START of the civil war.

He was a very influential and liked Marine officer.

Which probably explains why he is held in contempt by the administration...

I'd like to see her getting sworn in with President Biden sitting there.

His last two years will be very unpleasant.

The understatement of the century.

Interesting, isn't it? The idiots who voted for the Kenyan Usurper did so because they thought it would "make us look better to the rest of the world." There has always been this element in America - dating all the way back to the Colonies - that is way too concerned with the European view of us as uncouth, backwoods hayseeds. Personally, I couldn't give a crap what they think.

“His last two years will be very unpleasant.”

I agree, we all thought Carter was a very bitter, small cretin - Obama is probably going to make Carter look like a benevolent giant.

Maybe “The Little O” will make his mark building broken down tenements.

Reality happened. Obama was hoping and dreaming that no one would catch on to him...part of America was lost in their dreams of some leftist utopia and the rest of us were hoping he wasn't going to be as bad as we thought. All of our hopes and dreams were smashed.

The same outcome of every socialist idea put into effect.
