I’ve sent my campaign contribution to the NFIB. I think they’re next.

I’ve been predicting the same thing only sooner than next Spring. Actually I’m surprised they haven’t already with elections looming so soon and so many of them in deep doo-doo!

They can always invent some tear-jerker of an excuse for him to take early retirement. Save his marriage or some crap like that. The Oprah crowd will buy it hook line and sinker.


Good idea. And, you’re right...the Oprah croud will fall for it in a community organizer idiotic minute.

As with all Dictatorial Pigs “…It smacks of McCarthyism…”

I think it’s closer to Leninism and as with all Elitist Dictatorial Pigs use a form of public show trial propaganda to get their message out! And what else would you expect from a Marxist, Chomskyite and Alinskyite. Unlike McCarthy who was actually correct in his assumptions; nonetheless he did not keep his powder dry.

Given her age, it would be plausible if MO announced she was pregnant. BHO could then proclaim he is stepping down for the good of the baby and his two other children. If MO is *not* pregnant, a miscarriage could then be solemnly announced a few months later. Disclaimer : Just another scenario-I don’t really see the narcissistic affirmative action beneficiary doing this, or indeed choosing not to run for re election in 2012. To do so would be admitting failure, which to a person who has had everything (college admission, law school admission, editorship of HLR, state office, Lord knows what else) handed to him because of his melanin level is literally inconceivable.

I predict that next spring, some Dems. are going to pay him a visit and tell him to step down.

I came to that same conclusion some months ago.

The Democrats are about to be clobbered in a landslide of historic proportions, and it's Obama who has led them to that slaughter. But, it's much worse than that. Obama is leading the whole nation to collapse, and some of these Dems feel it in their bones, despite their rock-solid liberal conditioning.

I feel that even if congressional Dems don't actually make a back room deal with him, that they will do everything they can to undermine him in the coming year, which may actually force him to exit the presidency.

They're already going to lose the White House in 2012, but they'll also become a super minority in Congress by then, if Obama is still presiding.

I really think there's a Democrat mutiny coming.

What about Obama’s receiving contributions from Rafa, Gaza?

How has the FEC investigated these abuses that occured in 2008. I bet it’s been swept under Obummer’s rug. Saul Alinsky 101 accuse the other side of the same things your doing so that it makes them look like they are guilty and you are innocent.

http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2008/10/tens-of-millions-of-obama-donations.html

The FEC has compiled a separate database of potentially questionable overseas donations [to the Obama campaign] that contains more than 11,500 contributions totaling $33.8 million. More than 520 listed their “state” as “IR,” often an abbreviation for Iran. Another 63 listed it as “UK,” the United Kingdom.

More than 1,400 of the overseas entries clearly were U.S. diplomats or military personnel, who gave an APO address overseas. Their total contributions came to just $201,680. But others came from places as far afield as Abu Dhabi, Addis Ababa, Beijing, Fallujah, Florence, Italy, and a wide selection of towns and cities in France.

Until recently, the Obama Web site allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Unlike McCain’s or Sen. Hillary Clinton’s online donation pages, the Obama site did not ask for proof of citizenship until just recently....

In July and August, the head of the Nigeria’s stock market held a series of pro-Obama fundraisers in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city. The events attracted local Nigerian business owners. At one event, a table for eight at one fundraising dinner went for $16,800. Nigerian press reports claimed sponsors raked in an estimated $900,000. The sponsors said the fundraisers were held to help Nigerians attend the Democratic convention in Denver. But the Nigerian press expressed skepticism of that claim, and the Nigerian public anti-fraud commission is now investigating the matter.

In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign. “All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,” the Libyan leader said. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency...”

[O]n July 31 that donors from the Gaza strip had contributed $33,000 to the Obama campaign through bulk purchases of T-shirts they had shipped to Gaza.... A pair of Palestinian brothers named Hosam and Monir Edwan contributed more than $31,300 to the Obama campaign in October and November 2007, FEC records show. Their largesse attracted the attention of the FEC almost immediately. In an April 15, 2008, report that examined the Obama campaign’s year-end figures for 2007, the FEC asked that some of these contributions be reassigned. The Obama camp complied sluggishly, prompting a more detailed admonishment form the FEC on July 30. The Edwan brothers listed their address as “GA,” as in Georgia, although they entered “Gaza” or “Rafah Refugee camp” as their city of residence on most of the online contribution forms.... The latest Obama campaign filing shows that $891.11 still has not been refunded to the Edwan brothers, despite repeated FEC warnings and campaign claims that all the money was refunded in December.

A ...review of the Obama campaign finance filings found that the FEC had asked for the redesignation or refund of 53,828 donations, totaling just under $30 million.

But none involves the donors who never appear in the Obama campaign reports, which the [Center for Responsive Politics] estimates at nearly half the $426.8 million the Obama campaign has raised to date.

Sounds like he was forced to say it by them that brung him.

Man, it must SUCK to be him. All he wanted was worldwide adoration, and NOW look where he is.

If he hates it now with a majority in the House and the Senate.

What’s it going to be like for him next year?

I think it is a skin problem. How thick it is.
Apparently not thick enough.

Almost 50% of the electorate still approve of his job performance. I am not sure I follow your reasoning. The dems will never be a super minority, whatever that means. If you caught every democrat in the US in the very act of child abuse they would still get 33% of the vote.

0bama will end up like Stalin. Not literally, but figuratively: On the floor with a stroke and wet pants and no one calling the doctor to save him.

The argument itself is delusional, and it makes me wonder if the president has taken leave of his senses.

I never thought he had any to begin with, but what has happened is that he has consolidated his power and he feels that he can simply go for broke and say whatever crosses his mind. He's angry and he's vengeful because people are rejecting him - the article mentioned Soros, but even Soros has said he is going to "sit out" this election. And if you've lost a leftist radical like Soros, you've got to be way out on the fringe.

The problem is that Obama still has the power. I suspect things will only get worse, because people have been too slow to awaken. We couldn't believe a lunatic had taken over our country...via an election.

Well in these admittedly fanciful scenarios, the dipwad-in-chief isn’t the one who chooses to step down - the men in the grey coats pay him a visit one night and tell him that the decision has already been made and he just needs to get with the program. But all of us are just spinning suspense thriller plots - nobody knows how this will all play out. The reality, of course, is that the car finally caught up with the car he was chasing and now hasn’t the slightest clue about what to do. Nor do the people driving the car have a clue either :)

You’re right. He doesn’t even realize the Nobel Peace Prize was a play on his narcissism and he was being used by the evil bastards that be.

0bama is ending up as an extremely pathetic character.
