And if he keeps insulting voter blocks and making stupendously tasteless jokes, there will be even fewer.

Most people will understand 'electrified' as a figurative rather than literal statement, effectively 'whatever it will take to work.' Still, he'll have to learn that a politician can't avoid accountability for a quip the way a talk show host can. It won't take him long but old habits die hard. At least he's a lot smarter guy than the glad-handing back-slapping imbecile from Texas.

At least we know he will blame himself when he loses...

To Zero! LOL, are you dreaming?

They will ? Governing is very, very difficult and the consequences of a mistake are very, very serious. ‘Whatever it takes’ to solve our problems’ with no record of serious accomplishments in public office is a complete non-starter- even against Obama.

He calls these comments a joke- again and again. As the leader of the free world, those kinds of comment would start wars. They are not funny. They are not called for , even on the campaign trail. If this is his style of conversation, then maybe he needs to reconsider his political calling.

“To Zero! LOL, are you dreaming? “

Actually, no. His comment may be more troubling than it appears.

You can bet that this will not be the first time you will hear words such as those. You know the “moderates” as well as I, and would not trust them as far as you can throw them.

Then imagine that the Buma pull off a Mugabe-style voter fraud in 2012. By then such words will become “I told you so” and aid in putting down legitimate exposure and rebellion against of the fraud. Mugabe “agreed to” power sharing. How’s that worked out for Zimbabwe?

We are in for a world of hurt given how infiltrated this institution may now be. You know it will probably become worse. There’s just too much unaccounted for stimulus money afloat.
