I didn’t see him sever any ties with anybody dubious.
VDH, you just secured your place in the re-education camp. I’ll see ya there. :)
“That was the motto of the revolutionary minded young Augustus who soon grasped that he needed to build upon Rome’s past, rather than dismantle it.”
It cracks me up how many people think Obozo loves America, her history and who think Obozo is a serious adult. In eighteen months he is standing in the smokeing wreckage of his presidency.
Hanson over estimates Obama’s move to the center. They will play this as center moves, but make drastic moves to help build a permanent majority, card check, immigration, building a larger non-paying tax base. All the while the media will talk about the ‘new centrism’.
He’s going to read this, right?
Obama. Don’t listen to the genius, VDH, overreach. Please. Hurry. It’s the best way to get you out in one term.
Is he kidding? His chief of staff is Rahm Emanuel, as rabid a hate-monger as the Left has.
One of the great things about conservatism is that it doesn't get bogged down by liberalism's delusional ignorance about the limitations of physical and economic realities.
Obama always has been and always will be a slacker.
Don’t look for him to do ANYTHING. He will cruise around, looking cool, getting attention.
But he will leave the WORK to others.
Watch and see.
But the Democrat wins in the Senate and House definitely give Obama an undeserved political mandate (of sorts) or at least he can act as if he has a mandate, with their support.
Oh, so he’s like Clinton.
You can eliminate the deficit and the debt overnight. Eliminate all welfare to the able bodied, and yes, that includes unemployment. Fire 90% of all Federal employees except Military personnel. With our current enormous tax confiscation that would pretty much do it.
Let’s review:
Nancy spent the last four years saying nothing but “failure, failure, failure.” It got to the point where Ring Around The Collar was Bush’s fault. She and Harry Reid declared the Iraq war LOST and tried their damnedest to lose it, all to score political points and turn Iraq into another Vietnam that the Democrats could run against for another 30 years.
The entire Valerie Plame “scandal” was made up out of whole cloth by the Kerry campaign, in conjunction with David Corn. It planted the “Bush lied” meme that Democrats rode all the way through the 2006 elections. Then they pulled the Dan Rather bull with the fake TANG memos to try to nail George W. Bush. Only thanks to Buckhead and Charles Johnson did they not get away with it.
Ray Nagin refused to call a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans, left 200 school buses unsused, and made no contingency plans for getting people out of the Superdoem or the Convention Center after Katrina. But Dingy Harry were right there to blame Bush.
No terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11. But all the Dems says is “we are not safer” and the media laps it up.
They started websites, made movies, wore T-shirts, ran protests with hanging effigies and Hitler photoshops constantly in order to destroy the President and the Vice President of the United States.
Now they have foisted the biggest empty suit in history on us as President. For all we know, he may have lived with Bill Ayers in New York for four years and helped him build bombs.
These mfers proved they will lie, publish forged documents, and try to lose a war in order to gain power.
And NOW I’m supposed to take the high road and go all National Review?
Not on your life.
Hussein does not like America as it was or is. He has said so rather openly. It may be that the reality of circumstances that he will face once in office will constrain him. But I don’t count on it. He is an ideologue and academic and unused to dealing with reality. Abstractions are what he talks about because abstractions are what he knows and it is in abstractions that he places his faith. When people get in the way of his abstractions he will most likely use whatever force is available to him to try to reform the people to fit the abstractions rather than rethink the abstractions themselves.
Once again I really, really hope I am wrong about this.
Already watched and seen:
call me if you need me,
gotta play with the blackberry and make fun of McCain’s disability.
Something I haven’t heard one peep about since the election, and that’s the RAMPANT, widespread, brazen FRAUD. What the hell?
Nor was Obama's campaign shrewd. It was chock full of mistakes -- FAR more than McCain's.
But it a massive draft from the zeitgeists, and a large part of that zeitgeist was in money. Obama's campaign was over billion dollars in spending, allowing for the likely fraudulent accounting, and perhaps over six billion if one allows for the constant pro-Obama and anti-Bush, anti-Obama media barrage of the past two years. Also throw in the value of the support of sinecured (tenured) Academia and of Unions.
McCain went up against a ballparkian of 20 to 1 to maybe 100 to 1 odds, marketing dollar equivalent, and still nearly won.
Obama's campaign was downright idiotic, value for dollar-wise. But the zeitgeist gifted a mighty windfall.
