I hate to predict the future because no one can. When Obama was elected, I said he's overreach, in six months there would be a backlash, his popularity would fall, and he'd just change tactics not strategy. It would fail, and he'd be miserably unpopular and not stand a chance at reelection. The Democrats would take the hit in 2010 and lose one or both houses. The government would stall.
Well, so far I'm on a roll. I remember Clinton's first term. he overreached, lost popularity, and he changed strategy. He implemented some conservative ideas, but mostly just talked and did nothing. Obama is far more the committed leftist and will not change his quest.
He's also not nearly as smart as Clinton. He makes rookie mistakes constantly. He will be the (temporary) death of the Democrats. Let's make sure the Republicans are ready to jump in.
With the ACORN vote fraud machine and amnesty for forty million illegals Zero will never lose.
Plus the Clinton people he has picked is giving him bad advise imho.. You are right Obama is no Clinton..
Don't be too proud of yourself. You are thinking on a very elementary level. You saw what happened to Clinton in 1994 and said, "ah, that will happen to Obama, only worse cause he's not as smart as Clinton". Well, you forgot Heisenberg's principle.
Obama may or may not be as smart as Clinton, but he is definitely a student of history and has a good memory of recent events. He studied Alinsky and taught Alinsky. He remembers full well what happened in 1994, and I can guarantee you that he is planning night and day to prevent it from happening. If he is moving fast now, it is because he has calculated that he can do these things, and still get away with it in 2010 and 2012.
Obama does not take chance with elections. He rigs them. He rigged his election to the Illinois legislature. He rigged his Senate run, in the primary and the general. He and his foreign supporters and his sycophantic press rigged his Presidential run, with outlandishly lapdog coverage and illegal contributions that outspent a lousy GOP candidate by 2 or 3 times. He and his buddies even helped rig it so we got that lousy candidate. When the lousy candidate decided not to just phone it in, but to fight, by naming a conservative to the ticket, he and his minions rigged the coverage of her in order to try to destroy her.
He will examine every house and senate race in the 2010 election. He will try to get illegal aliens to vote (with Clinton's Motor Voter), or make them legal, use ACORN thugs where he can, use fraud in the close elections, use last minute smears, IRS audits, federal money, DOJ investigations, whatever it takes. If he holds Congress, he will repeat that process, only it will make 2010 look like a picnic. 2012 will be all out nuclear war, only one side doesn't believe in using nukes.
After he is re-elected, he will be 100x more arrogant and power mad than he currently is. You will see him go after the high-profile opponents like Rush, Glenn Beck and Fox News. (As I said, the little fish, like you and me and FR can wait til the third term).
There is only one way to stop him and that is to realize NOW that this is coming and throw everything possible at this guy. The first thing that must happen is to stop him, and the thing right now that has to be stopped is health care. Then amnesty for illegal aliens. Then another stimulus. If he keeps getting his way, the perception of his power will give him power.
If his momentum can be halted, then the opposition must nationalize the election of 2010, and coalesce behind a leader or small number of leaders who put forward a plan of action that can galvanize all the GOP and all the (few remaining) moderate Dems, who were too stupid and naive to realize what they were voting for in 2008. If you begin to knock down this guys aura of invinciblity, he will go down in a tidal wave of opposition in 2010. But if a disunited and RINO-led GOP proceeds in its current helter-skelter fashion, it will not be able to take advantage of the potential victory, and will, at best, gain a few seats, but not enough to stop Obama.
That is the reality. You are playing checkers, and you need to think more than one step ahead.
Make sure the Republicans can jump in and keep the borders open and grow the government almost as fast? It’s a government problem, not a Democrat problem, and pinkos like Bush (Sr and Jr) want you to think that you’ll be winning when you put them back in. Don’t be so foolish.
