EDITORIAL: Running against Obama’s postponed November surprises
The Washington Times ^ | October 27, 2014 | Editorial

Posted on 10/28/2014 10:48:07 AM PDT by jazusamo

President’s postelection agenda is both secret and obvious

Before Americans vote next week they deserve to know what President Obama has in store for them. The administration’s near-term plans on health care, the environment, immigration, nominees for high office and other issues are shrouded in mystery. It doesn’t take much of a crystal ball to guess what lies just ahead, but the people should hear it from the source. Mr. Obama isn’t talking. He says his policies are on the ballot, and he knows that the less the voters know, the better for Democratic candidates.

The White House wants no repeat of the “shellacking” it took in the 2010 midterm election that gave Republicans six more seats in the Senate and 63 more in the House. The scariest Halloween trick on any Democratic campaign between now and Friday would have Mr. Obama show up unannounced with an offer to help. Since he’s poison on the campaign trail, Mr. Obama spent Saturday on the links at Fort Belvoir, playing his 201st round of golf as president. His golf score is a secret, too, but the informed word is that he hasn’t broken par yet.

All bad news is put on hold until after the elections. Health-insurance premium rates on the Obamacare website won’t be announced until Nov. 15. By some estimates they’ll go up as much as 14 percent, which would be a public relations disaster the administration postponed by extending the open-enrollment period by six weeks. If the public understood how “affordable” health care became under a law enacted with only Democratic votes, the anger would be explosive.

When Obama EO’s amnesty for 15+ million, the reponse from the Republicans in D.C. will tell us if we still have a country or not.

They could understand it if they wanted to, but they're too lazy and uninterested. Maybe if we created an iHeart radio station, a fantasy sports game, or tatooted it on the foreheads of one of those fake housewives or a Kardashian, they'd see it.

He’s going to really hit us after this election. He knows that he can get away with anything that he chooses to do. And it will be real bad.

Could prove to be something the president is yet unaware of. Our own government with it's people in high places and black ops will not let this country go down so easy. At least let's hope so.

Exactly, and by the majority of the GOP-e remaining silent they are endorsing 0bama’s upcoming criminal agenda.

Pathetic!

The sheep are resting quietly in the feedlots. After the elections, it will be time for the abattoirs to go into high gear.

Amnesty EO coming Oct. 31, 2014. Zero is gonna go ‘desperate’ and pull the trigger. Might cost more votes than it would generate, especially with the black vote.

Impeach Obamatullah in the House, convict him in the Senate, bring up the National Guard to control the riots and burning of cities across the US.

Arrest and convict the rioters, expand Gitmo, send them there. They will all fall under existing statutes as terrorists. Hold them there while the nation rebuilds, massive employment opportunities as the damge will be extensive and national in scope.

Pass legislation making the socialist caucuses in the house and senate illegal and disband and arrest or deport the members to Cuba. Strip them of their citizenship first.

Also pass legislation outlawing the black caucus. It is not legal to have a white caucus so we should treat all equally under the law. Again arrest try and deport the black caucus to, let’s say, Liberia.

Same for the muslims, same for La Raza, do I need to repeat the process?

There will be no response beyond some loud complaining of short duration. Then we just have to accept it. It is the law of the land.

The DOD has shown some resistance. The ISIS bombing started against the Sultan’s wishes. He would have hurt himself politically by shutting it down or accusing the military of insubordination. He had to accept it and announce it as his own idea. DOD is also quarantining troops returning from Africa against Presidential better judgment. I wonder if it will go any farther than that.

” Amnesty EO coming Oct. 31, 2014. Zero is gonna go ‘desperate’ and pull the trigger”

This is what I see as the REAL “fix” that is going to happen.

1) Boehner and McConnell have secretly told Obama that if he EO’s amnesty, they will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop it.

2) If Obama doesn’t EO amnesty, a new Republican majority in the Senate will help Boehner pass amnesty.
