Obama, occasionally I hate him, but not very often, thank God. O’Malley, however, I despise with a blue-hot loathing unlike any other I have felt before.

“Could a Hurricane Like Sandy Postpone the Presidential Election?”

I wouldn’t put anything past Obama to try it.

Actually, a ‘national’ election was cancelled in this country under a constitutional government. The Cherokee nation in the 1830’s, located then in N.E. Georgia, functioned under a constitutional government, almost identical to ours.

When Chief John Ross ( a MASTER, like Obama, at class warfare...HE split the tribe and it never healed) realized he could lose the next election, he called a state of emergency because of the impending Indian Removal Act and cancelled the election. He formed his ‘posse’ of “Pins’ from bribed and other corrupt Cherokee to carry out his proclamations and assassinate his oppositions. For 40 more years he served more as a dictatorial tyrant than an elected Chief.

And the Cherokee tribe STILL votes for tyrants like Obama.

That is exactly where I am too,
I have trouble watching local news because I get p-—ed off when they show him with that (evil) self-smug smirk on this face.

Thanks to the brain dead Maryland sheeple that #$%@ (O'malley) gets everything he wants with little resistance. I am just praying that we can nail him with those three ballot initiatives to knock that smug grin off his face. .

I have seen the local TV news create reports to help him. They helped deceive the viewers on energy deregulation in 2006 to get him elected and more recently one station created a news story to create support for raising the alcohol tax. They showed handicapped in wheelchairs and reported that the money would go to helping them. It was like a free political ad.

As as aside, you can’t name a hurrricane “Sandy”, give them mean sounding names for crap sake. Like “Michelle” or “Rosie O’Donnell”.

They should've called this one "Bitch."

Have your ever tried actually reading the Constitution?

I think the attacks helped Gloomberg (Rudy’s favored successor) win the general election not so much the delay.

It’s a shame Bloomberg won that primary over reformed former democrat Congressman Herman Badillo who may have been a decent Mayor if he could have beaten Green without Bloomberg’s millions, disgruntled Fernando Ferrer supporters may have helped.

Even if it COULD be done, it would be really tough to say that the election can’t be done on TUE when NYC could still put on the NYC Marathon on SUN.
