There are too many hardcore leftists out there to consider anything but success, sweetness and light and nirvana.

IMHO

“He is not just an ‘empty suit’ he is a MARXIST in an empty suit surrounded by and financed by other MARXISTS.”

That’s true and in deference to “The Godfather” one of my favorite movies, the situation is one where we have to ruthless like Michael Corleone and settle all of the family business.

TARP was passed with Republican votes and signed by a Republican president. They cannot evade responsibility for this disastrous bill, the template for Obanomics and equal to McCain-Feingold as the worst bill enacted in my lifetime.

And there were a goodly number of Goldman Sachs arse lickers here on FR who supported it too.....

The lame duck Congress can push through all sorts of nonsense.

Yep, and there is a squadron of Kamikaze Democrats in the order of battle.

He’s nuts. He’s a puppet for others. I’m so disgusted by the fact that other Americans could put this monster in control of my country. I’ve never been so sickened and disgusted in my entire life.

“a middle-of-the-roader, by any estimation, and yet a majority of the country thinks he’s a “socialist.””

Lost me right there. A middle of the roader? I Think not.

I wish.

Unfortunately, he has an impending race war and martial law on his side, as well as the MSM.

And after all his radicalism, the Fundamentalist "chr*stian" Blacks who worship like West Virginia snake-handlers every sunday still haven't heard a word of any of it. They're still eating out of his hand and marching lockstep with the perverts and atheists.

True enough, but Obama and the libs are claiming credit for it because they believe it worked. In the House, TARP (HR 1424) passed 263-171. The Dems voted 172-91 FOR it and the Reps voted 108-63 AGANIST it. In the Senate, it passed 74-26 with Dems voting 40-9 FOR it and Reps voting 33-15 FOR it.

The Reps certainly bear responsibility for it but they were far from being alone. They did try to block the release of the second $350 billion in January 2009, but they did not because they just didn't have the votes.

He’s destroying the economy and has not the foggiest idea why. Marx, Lenin and Alinsky don’t have the answer, and he refuses to believe something as fundamental as freedom is.

What’s more, he has, to an astonishing degree, been unable to communicate even the remotest sense of who he is to the nation: a middle-of-the-roader, by any estimation, and yet a majority of the country thinks he’s a “socialist.”

This guy is delusional. Obama is not just Left, but hard Left. There is nothing "middle of the road" about this guy. Trying to pass him off as such is tantamount to lying.

Right, Obama goes way past Socialist, all the way to would be total dictator who would like to be able to point a finger and have someone’s head cut off.

Other than that why do we judge presidents by how much worthless legislation they can get passed? It is the EXECUTIVE branch, charged with EXECUTING programs legislated by congress. How did we get this twisted notion that the executive branch is supposed to write the laws that it is charged with executing? The last thing we need is this rubber stamp congress that rushes to pass anything the CEO dreams up. We may as well just dispense with congress and save the money.

Obama seems to be similar to a young guy I worked with thirty five years ago. We each had our own territory in which we were responsible for keeping the customer’s machines running. This guy took over part of my territory because it had grown too big for one man. He would meet a new group of customers and they would go gaga over him. One or two even took the trouble to write letters to our office praising him highly. It kinda made me look bad at first...but invariably after a few months the customers would be begging me to take them back into my territory. Once they figured out who he REALLY was they wanted nothing to do with him.

We had some squirrels around here who were ‘middle of the roaders.’
They ran to the left when they should have run to the right. At least that’s what the tire tracks implied. Just saying.

All good points. I think that an extended primary could actually help the GOP, though.

The dems definitely benefitted from Obama and Clinton in 2008. They sucked up all the attention and coverage into June. No one cared about McCain or the GOP primary.

In 2012 you could have the reverse. Everyone will be paying attention to and covering the Republicans. All our voters will be excited and interested and involved in the primary and the dem voters won’t have anything to do. No one will be paying attention to Obama. He’ll be overlooked. Unless he does something smart like have Biden announce he’s stepping down in early 2012 and that Hillary will replace him as VP.

But if the GOP is getting all the coverage in winter/spring 2012 I think that will help them in the fall. I think it definitely hurt McCain that he won the nomination on Super Tuesday and had another 4 months of doing nothing. Obama on the other hand was campaigning nonstop in VA, OH, FL, IN, NC, PA, etc... I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he won all those states in the fall. That IN and VA were states the dems did nothing in. All that extra time and money spent campaigning helped him.

Maybe our 2012 candidates doing the same in PA, MI, OH, FL, etc... will lead to a similar result.

Wrong. Zero is a socialist, he's also anti-American, and a Judeophobe, is an enemy to all US allies, is in the employ and under the thrall of the King of Saudi Arabia, a liar, a dissembler, a thug, and furthermore has very ably communicated all these facts to the nation and to the world. Thanks kristinn.

It's either his last days, or ours.

When the US Government goes to war against the American people, there is no room for compromise.

Notice how "food stamps" have become invisible? They changed the name of the program to some mysterious acronym (SNAP), and replaced the stamps with debit cards that look just like real credit cards and are replenished electronically each month. A perfect vehicle for retail level redistribution of wealth. And the asshole beltway republicans saith nary a whisper.
