The conservative attitude toward Obama has largely been a mirror image of that of the left. To liberals, Obama is the ideal vision of Liberal Man -- the Lightbringer, the new FDR in a darker shade,who will right all wrongs, set the U.S. firmly on a progressive path, and give out lots of free stuff (from "Obama's stash," as one admirer put it.)
Conservatives see the exact opposite: a demonic figure, the community organizer from Hell, a combination of Caligula, Lenin, Mao, and Blofeld, a Muslim-communist- progressive Antichrist with a perfect and implacable plan to destroy the U.S. and the Western world as a whole.
Events of the past few months have belied both the liberal and conservative visions. If Obama is the Antichrist, he's a kind of goofy, inept, comical Antichrist at best. And as for the Lightbringer, events speak for themselves. Plainly, Obama is worst enemy liberalism has ever had.
Take a look at his record. Any aspect of his record, from any angle excepting only his media boosters. Finance, the economy, employment, energy, healthcare, foreign relations...in each case, Obama has taken the liberal agenda and smashed it against the nearest brick wall. He has, furthermore, left no plausible way of repairing or recovering the fragments.
If he is a demon, Obama is Goethe's Mephistopheles, who "wills forever evil, and does forever good."
We can begin anywhere. Why not renewables? Obama had a master plan for the country's energy resources, derived directly from the agenda of the greens as expressed through the work of John Holdren (his "science czar") and the Ehrlichs: abandon fossil fuels completely in favor of renewable power on a nationwide basis. If that causes misery and economic dislocation, that's fine -- no price is too high to pay for a "sustainable" future. Obama set...

It is sad to see Rubio on this list but he eagerly put himself there.
And which side has been recently proven to be right more and more often?
Remember that NEXT time odumbass promises (lies about) something
Given the tremendous amount of prepositioning of military equipment around population centers, the retraining of police forces to be paranoid adversaries of the people, the spreading incidence of random roadblocks and warrantless searches, the rapid increase in the number of SWATs and their apparent increasing randomness, I suspect the last choice will be the model and probably before 2016.
It bothers me that some people still fail to see how incredibly successful Obama has been. His goal is to destroy the US as a world power. I cannot believe the incredible progress he has made. I consider him pretty much unstoppable at this point.
Inept? I wish.
Ah HA! Racist!
I love the last paragraph. It reads to me like all that remains is one last shove off the cliff in the form of a 2014 election repeat of 2010/1994 and we can put America on the road to recovery. Hope against hope.
He has been massively aided/abetted/enabled by his handlers and the Dem House/Senate he inherited. How successful would he have been with a Repub/Tea Party House and Senate.
Then, yeah, I guess he would probably have been less successful.
What's your point?
No. Tesla had a $500,000 stimulus loan, which was paid off with a bond issue and second stock offering. No profit. Lotsa hype.
I'm not saying that the Democrats wouldn't have had their way for a while or that Obama wouldn't have been reelected, but how likely was it that liberal ideas -- whatever they are -- would come to dominate the political discussion and be realized once the initial year-long honeymoon was over?

“For Alinsky, the revolutionary’s purpose is to undermine the system
and then see what happens.
The Alinsky radical has a single principle - to take power from the Haves and give it to the Have-nots.
What this amounts to in practice is a political nihilism - a destructive assault on the established order in the name of the “people”
From David Horowitz “The Alinsky Model”

__________________________
Now, the leftists are the *Establishment* and the Tea Party is *The People*. Every reasoned argument for a destructive assault in the name of The People is met with cries of “It’s the Law!” and accusations of sedition and outright treason. To this end, armed Big Government agencies are brought into play.
So, maybe we need to tell _them_: “Up against the wall, m*****f*****”. Definitely, a discussion of the current Black Privilege and of Protected Classes is in order.
Who is the revolutionary, now?
Irrelevant and misses the point. He has used all the tools/conditions to his advantage and has been immensely successful.
It's OK to hate his success, but don't get diverted to where it either "didn't happen" or "what if". It's real and it is crushing Freedom of the People.
