why are they going crazy for Obama in Kenya? I thought Obama only met is father once in his life. He was a dead beat dad.

[clean]

I dont know or care, but the comment was funny.

Here's the way I see it. Blacks in this country have had a rough go of it. Either they were slaves, then a fraction of a vote, segragated, de-segragated, and things didn't get better for them. Promises, nothing fulfilled. Affirmitive action got them jobs and promotions, but then they had to deal with all those looks that told them "You only got this job because you're black." For them, this country has never been a meritocracy. But yesterday, finally, for one of them, they could finally say, it can happen. So, yeah, they're excited.


But Obama is not president because he's black, and if he didn't win, there would've been no riots in the streets of Chicago. (Doors refrence for all you cool kids). He's president because we as a nation need a new direction. Hopefully, he's that guy. Only time will tell.

Sry for the late response - i was out. I don't believe Blagojevic was up at all for reelection - but he is left with the power to appoint Barack's replacement. He is currently at something like 13 percent approval ratings and even managed to close down a few state parks where i grew up :(

Again, I would think conventional wisdom is for Jessie Jackson JR to be appointed.

Initial Arab Media Reactions to Obama's Election


Initial reactions in the Arab world to the outcome of the U.S. presidential election focused on several aspects. While some writers discussed which candidate would be better for the Arabs, others compared the democratic process in the U.S. with the situation in the Arab world, where such turnover in government is impossible.
Following are excerpts from some of the reactions:


Al-Qaradhawi: The Democrats Are Like a Snake That "Kill[s] You Slowly Without You Noticing"

In a fatwa published on the eve of the U.S. elections, Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi expressed his preference for Sen. John McCain as president: "Personally, I would prefer for the Republican candidate, [John] McCain, to be elected. This is because I prefer the obvious enemy who does not hypocritically [conceal] his hostility toward you… to the enemy who wears a mask [of friendliness]."

Al-Qaradhawi added: "Whoever thinks that the Democrats are less hostile to [the Arabs] than the Republicans should know that the number of Iraqis killed during the siege [of Iraq] by the Democrat Bill Clinton is twice as high as the number of killed by the Republican [George] Bush.
"The Democrats kill you slowly without you noticing it - and therein lies the danger. They are like a snake whose touch is not felt until its poison enters your body.

"Therefore, I hope that McCain comes to power, so that the motivation for jihad remains in our hearts, and so that we do not rely on the infidels - [which will cause us] to be struck by the fire [of Hell]." [1] (http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD210308#_edn1)


[B]Iranian Daily: "That Black Man" Will Never Change U.S. Policy

In an editorial, the Iranian daily [I]Jomhouri-ye Eslami stated: "The most that that black man can do in the White House is to replace some of the staff and change some ceremonial procedures. He will never manage to change the structure of the American regime, which was established by capitalists, Zionists, and racists."

The paper added that President Obama would not bring change to the world, because both the Democrats and Republicans were party to the U.S.'s oppressive and interest-driven foreign policy. Therefore, it said, any changes that do occur would be tactical rather than strategic. [2] (http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD210308#_edn2)


Syrian Daily: "We Hereby Declare Obama the 44th President [Before It's Official]... Even If It Might Be Considered Irresponsible Journalism"

In its headline, the Syrian daily Al-Watan named Obama president even before the official results were announced. The editorial that accompanied the headline explained: "We wanted to declare Obama president... as a show of solidarity with millions of Americans, Arabs, and colleagues in the world media who [all] yearn for 'change' in U.S. foreign policy. They are all betting on Obama - who has been waving the slogan [of change]… in hope that he will be different not only in the color of his skin, but also in his view regarding Washington's policy towards the world…

"Some claim that if Obama wins he will be no better than Bush, if not worse... They may be right, since it is well known that no American president has ever stood on the side of the Arabs - rather, they have all stood on the side of Israel…

"Yesterday was undoubtedly a long, exhausting, and historic day by any standard. The American people [voted] with a vigor not seen in any [previous] U.S. presidential election, in a bid to make history and change the ugly face of the U.S.

"Out of respect for them and for everyone who voted for change, and out for respect for the souls of the Syrian, Iraqi, and Arab martyrs, we hereby declare Obama the 44th president of the U.S., even if it might be considered irresponsible journalism. We are sure that our readers will forgive us if we turn out to be wrong - [a possibility] for which we do not hope."


Saudi Daily: No Difference Between Obama and McCain
The Saudi daily Al-Watan stated in an editorial: "There is no significant difference between Obama and McCain. They disagree only on the means to achieve America's chief goal, which is to rule for another hundred years." [3] (http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD210308#_edn3)

Al-Hayat Columnist/Al-Arabiya Deputy Director: "The Faces [in the White House] Change in a Way That We Find Impressive"

Daoud Al-Shiryan, columnist for the Saudi daily Al-Hayat and deputy director of Al-Arabiya TV, praised American democracy, comparing it to the nondemocratic processes in the Arab world: "The U.S. elections afford a kind of change that does not occur in the Arab 'democracies'... The faces [in the White House] change in a way that we find impressive.

"Over the next few days, the world will see a new staff [there], while the current names will forever disappear from the [stage of] American politics. The [current] stars of American politics will go home, and the day after they leave the White House, the American public will see them standing in line at the airport, at the supermarket, or at the dentist's office...

"While America watches this turnover of personnel [in the White House]... the Arabs are following [attempts in] Algeria to amend the constitution and remove the restriction on the number of consecutive terms allowed the president - so that 'Abd Al-'Aziz Bouteflika can continue with a third term in office, and perhaps [remain in office] until the end of his life.

"In the past few days in Egypt, the [ruling] NDP party showed its impressive ability to retain the same people over three decades. [Egypt] uses ballots just like the U.S. - but does so the Arab way. " The situation is similar in the other Arab democratic republics as well..." [4] (http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD210308#_edn4)

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad congratulated US president-elect Barack Obama on his presidential victory, the Iranian news agency IRNA reported Thursday.
Ahmadinejad reportedly sent Obama a telegram, saying "we all look forwards to quick and clear respond to the developments evident in the US' domestic and foreign policies. The world is awaiting a change in the US' unjust treatment of the people of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan." (Dudi Cohen)

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3618922,00.html

Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, expressed willingness on Thursday to hold talks with US president-elect Barack Obama even though Washington considers the Islamist movement a terror group.
"We are ready to hold a serious dialogue with the new US president," the Islamic group's leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh said. "We hope the new US president will learn from the mistakes of the previous administration and give up the policy of bias towards Israel," he told journalists during a visit to a Gaza hospital. (AFP)

The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for them during the Democratic primaries, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

No surprises there. This is how it works. One needs insiders to get things done. W Bush used staffers from the Ford administration. Clinton used a few from the Carter years. The last president to use complete outsiders was Carter himself and his term is largely regarded as a failure.

The Cowardly Character Assassination of Sarah Palin (http://townhall.com/Columnists/MichelleMalkin/2008/11/07/the_cowardly_character_assassination_of_sarah_palin?page=full)
...Let's assume for a moment that the McCain rumormongers are telling the truth about Palin (and I don't believe they are). Who would it damn more: Palin, or McCain and his vetters, who greenlighted her for the vice presidential nomination? Don't need a fancy Ivy League degree to figure that one out.

In introducing her to America, McCain praised her independence and backbone: She "stands up for what's right, and she doesn't let anyone tell her to sit down." The inside snipers are now roasting her for that very attribute -- redefined as "going rogue" -- because she had the nerve to try to schedule media interviews on her own. The nerve of her!

...Hollywood savaged Palin. Journalists mocked her. Liberal blogs slimed her. Opponents cursed her, Photoshopped her, hacked her e-mail, hanged her in effigy, called her bigot, Bible-thumper and bimbo, and attacked her husband and children. But nothing Palin endured during the election season compares to the treatment she's receiving from these backstabbing blabbermouths who worked on the same campaign she poured herself into over the last three months.

Sarah Palin worked her heart out. She energized tens of thousands to come out when they would have otherwise stayed home. She touched countless families. I didn't agree with everything she said on the campaign trail. But she vigorously defended the Second Amendment and the sanctity of life more eloquently in practice than any of the educated conservative aristocracy. And she did it all with a tirelessness and an infectious optimism that defied the shameless, bottomless attempts by elites in both parties to bring her and her family down...



Barack Obama: The Kingfish Reborn (http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/11/barack_obama_the_kingfish_rebo.html)
...Like Obama's ascent, Long's meteoric rise was fueled to a large degree by subterfuge, the effective use of a corrupt local machine, class warfare, and the demonization of business and the successful. Huey Long had a deep animosity toward those who produce wealth and this leveling instinct pervaded his policies. Like Obama, he publically condemned Marxism while effectively applying Marxist principles.

Huey Long as a United States Senator had broken with Franklin Roosevelt because he felt that Roosevelt's confiscatory policies were not radical enough. To broaden the reach of the policies that he and his machine implemented in Louisiana, in February of 1934 he created the "Share Our Wealth Society;" its slogan being "Every Man a King." This "Society," which epitomized Long's view of the federal government as the great leveler, advocated the confiscation of an individual's wealth greater than $5,000,000. He advocated confiscation of an individual's income greater than $1,000,000.

From this revenue Long promised the following goodies: $5,000.00 cash to every family or "enough for a home, an automobile, a radio, and the ordinary conveniences; guaranteed minimal annual income; guaranteed pensions for the aged; guaranteed grants for everyone's education; and bonuses to veterans.

If the money were not available, Huey Long was not above governmental confiscation in kind. If Long felt that a favored citizen needed a car and the money wasn't there, then the government could simply take a car from someone else who had "too many."...x..............x

Hi, Walford. I don't agree with jack **** from your article but I still remember the Mad Magazine articles from when I was a kid.

"A car in every pot...A chicken in every garage..."

This might be the best caricature of the Obama admin months before he actually takes the reins; as much as I find it to be unfounded bull****, it's still funny. As for the rest of the article, it still sucks and Michelle Malkin could not talk her way past my droopy nutsack.

So far everything this guy has done has been glossed over, excused and everyone acts like he's clean as a whistle. The Black vote was a gimmie, freebee no sweat. He could have been a crack head, thief, racist and been elected. The brother voted one thing and one thing only, color! The stupid mad white vote came as a result of the economy. He better be able to keep the whitee mad and stupid if he wants to keep the house and the senate. My prediction we the "right" will take the house and the senate within two years. Hey he's got four years to do what he wants then the pay back comes. One tour broham then find a new job. King Hussein will be the best thing to ever happen to the right. We needed a break anyway to point the finger at a liberal puke. Sure is funny no one attachs any responsibilty to the "left" for the Fanny Mea , Freedy mack mess.

Abu Ahmad al-Salafi: “The election of this black man to the Black House will improve the image of the New Rome in the eyes of the world. Al-Faruq `Umar [the second caliph] was right when he said that Rome is the fastest to recover after a catastrophe. That’s what has happened with the election of this black man.”

Abu Ahmad al-Salafi: “I think the election of McCain would have been more beneficial and useful to the Muslims than this black slave. This Christian is a fanatical supporter of the Jews and (his election) will raise the market shares of Western democratic capitalism (even though it is) in the final throes of death.”
Al Hakim: “Brother Abu Ahmad al-Salafi, like you I believe that al-Qaeda wants the election of the Republican candidate McCain. But the organization has been quiet until now, when Obama has been elected. There can be only one reason for this: the organization is taking the next step after the success of its previous plan against the wildly stupid Republican Party. The new plan requires a massive effort from al-Qaeda and we are behind it. The Democratic Party is diplomatic and smart.”

wrong, you have obviously failed to look at past polls that have demonstrated the fact that most blacks are democrats....

And get over the fact that he's president already, this act is getting lame, you all would have never voted for this guy and you will probably never trust him. primary reason: Color!

"You all" is pretty inclusive there big guy; The fact is that White, Hispanic and any other type of Americans put him there. And he will need them again. Yes you are correct that most Blacks folks I know are democrats. I also know and have friends that happen to be Black republicans. Guess what they all voted for Obama and the many of their stated reason was that he is Black. The Black vote alone is not sufficient in itself to put him in office. So get past it and admit that America put him there and America is not a racist filled nation. The primary reason I would never trust him is established facts regarding his background. Not to mention that I'm a conservative, independent nationlist.

I have three main issues of concern in any election; Taxes, Guns and National Defense. All of which Obama sets on the other side from me. So regardless of his color I would never vote for him or anyone like him. If was a White, Black, Hispanic, Oriental or anything else you can think of and he was pro-America, wanted lower taxes (control government spending), believed in Americans having the right of self defense & possessing firearms and has a stated & clear objective of the defense of this nation. Under these conditions I would jump at the chance to give him my vote. If Colin Powell ran as a Moose party canidate I would vote for him immediately.

My prediction; in two years we will have a non-democratic House and Senate and in four a new President.

How the Republicans Blew It

WRITTEN BY JACK KENNY
TUESDAY, 11 NOVEMBER 2008 00:00


For the last eight years, the Republicans have rivaled the Democrats in making government bigger, costlier, and more intrusive. Now they have paid the price.

For Republicans, it might have been a good night to watch Casablanca. John and Cindy McCain are not Bogart and Bergman, but they made a handsome couple facing a grim reality in what must be the American war hero and Arizona senator's "last hurrah."

For Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats, it was an ascent to dizzying heights made possible by the long, painful, and sometimes fatal struggles of many who did not live to see the day when America elected a black man to the nation's highest executive office. The trappings, the functions, and the legitimate powers of the office will be the same. A new and different kind of occupant has already made significant history. As President John F. Kennedy said in his Inaugural Address:

"We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom — symbolizing an end as well as a beginning — signifying renewal as well as change." Whether we will have as much freedom to celebrate at the end of the Obama presidency as we do at its beginning is an outcome to be hoped for and a result to be awaited.

There is no question that freedom has been under siege for the past eight years under the Bush-Cheney reign. Domestic spying, monitoring private international communications without warrant, running secret prisons, sanctioning and even "outsourcing" torture, while denying the privilege of habeas corpus, even in some cases to American citizens arrested on American soil, are all part of the ugly heritage that will be the Bush legacy. How many of our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, eroded by usurpation and abandoned by neglect, Obama will either attempt to rescue or abandon in a "spirit of bipartisanship" remains to be seen.

"Each age is a dream that is dying," wrote an Irish poet long ago, "Or one that is coming to birth." Those of us who attended the wildly premature but nonetheless exciting Goldwater Victory Rally at New York's Madison Square Garden in October of 1964 have often looked back fondly on the days when the seeds of the "Reagan Revolution" were planted in the ashes of Goldwater's defeat.

Largely forgotten in the election-night celebrations was the cagey architect of the 1964 Goldwater defeat, President Lyndon B. Johnson. When he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Johnson, a Southerner, reportedly confessed to an aide that he feared he had given the South over to the Republicans for a generation. It turned out to be longer. But the Voting Rights Act he pushed through Congress and signed the following year made possible the Obama phenomenon. With millions of black voters enrolled and energized all through the South and in large urban areas throughout the country, Obama was able to bring parts of the once "solid South" back into the coalition that was built by Franklin D. Roosevelt and which had nurtured Democratic presidents from the New Deal through the Great Society.

The Nixon election of 1968 joined a significant portion of the formerly Democratic South to the Western sunbelt states in a union that would produce victories for Republicans in seven out of 10 presidential elections from 1968 through 2004. The Republicans had a "lock" on the Electoral College. Then they lost the key.

The party has rather thoroughly defaulted on the golden promises of both the Reagan and Gingrich revolutions. White Southerners, being mainly conservative, have today less reason than they once thought to vote Republican. With the power of both the White House and the Congress at their disposal for six of the eight years of the Bush reign, Republicans managed for a time to beat the Democrats at their own game. Then they far exceeded their rivals. Fighting no-win wars while building a bigger, more costly, and more wasteful government was how the Democrats squandered the Roosevelt coalition. The Republicans have aped them, and now they've paid the price.

A New Hampshire voter said on election day that he was tired of voting Republican to achieve a smaller government, only to see the Republicans exceed their Democratic counterparts at making government ever bigger, costlier, and more intrusive. New Hampshire, arguably the most "red" Republican state in the nation in the Reagan era, has now been repainted almost entirely Democratic blue. Looking at the map on election night, John McCain might have whispered to Cindy a slight revision of a famous line from Casablanca: "Well, we'll always have Utah." Maybe.

[Jobu]

I love all these doom and gloom articles about how it's the end of an era and the GOP won't recover.

The Dems (Clinton) won in 1992 and the same sort of obituaries were written for the Republicans back then as well. Of course they turned out to be nonsense as Newt and the boys turned it all around in 1994 when the country realized what it had done by giving Clinton and the Dems unchecked power.

But kicking the GOP is fashionable right now and probably sells a few newspapers who can REALLY use any subscriptions they can get these days.

The Black vote was a gimmie, freebee no sweat. He could have been a crack head, thief, racist and been elected. The brother voted one thing and one thing only, color! The stupid mad white vote came as a result of the economy. He better be able to keep the whitee mad and stupid if he wants to keep the house and the senate. My prediction we the "right" will take the house and the senate within two years. Hey he's got four years to do what he wants then the pay back comes. One tour broham then find a new job. King Hussein will be the best thing to ever happen to the right. We needed a break anyway to point the finger at a liberal puke. Sure is funny no one attachs any responsibilty to the "left" for the Fanny Mea , Freedy mack mess.

[IMTT]

I believe it will be impossible to reduce the taxes of the middle class...crazy can't be done. This was in my opinion a wholly and intentionally false statement to garner votes...it worked! Time will tell how much we the middle class are effected. Next years taxes will be a large burden on my income. I don't see anyway around this and my income is much less than the stated 250K or even 150K as proposed in the debates by Obama.

My predictions of the Post Obama election results and what it will mean to all;
1. Increased taxes for all
2. No pull out in 16-18 months of troops from Iraqi, we will still be there
3. More troops in Africa and Afghanistan
4. A reduction of the Military of the USA
5. More restrictive gun laws in the USA and restriction of some weapons with a much higher tax on ammo.
6. There will be a mass bail out and it will fail
7. An escalation of violence in the middle East will occur
8. An escalation of incursions on US allies or friends by rouge states
9. Many elderly, retirees and poor will be adversly and greatly effected through a reduction in benefits.
10. Prisoners will be on trial from Gitmo and they will be housed on US soil in Federal Prisons. This will lead to recuritment of more terror cells in the US and the trials will become a media event.
11. Homeland security will drop off the map, major funding for this will be greatly certailed and we will go back to bussiness as ussual. Then there will be a terror attack on US soil again
If everything goes as I predict or even close the Republicans will take the house and senate from the Democrats and Mr. Obama will be basically a lame duck for the remainder of his adminstration and un-electable. In turn he will become a lighting rod for everything that went wrong and even the Democrats will distance themselves.

What can save this grim down turn for the socialist liberals from everything above?

Answer; MONEY, save the economy and put money in Ray's pocket, Bubba, Aunt Bee and everyone else he will be a hero regardless of what personal rights or previliges he snatchs from the grip of the public. Money talks, if he can stablize this economy no one will care about anything else and nothing else matters. People are sheep put money in thier pockets and they are done. He will be easliy re-elected and the Socialist Liberals will increase their numbers.

Today in my place of employment I was told that Obama has voiced intentions of going after "defered compensation" and excluding it as well as terminating the tax break for home loan interest as a tax break. It has also been said that his advisors have stated it will be impossible to give the "middle class" a tax break. Do any of you have news stories or information verifing these rumors?

AKA reality check. If he is to be successful he will have to make the right choices even if they are not "fair". He's going to have to check the carebear attitude in at the door.

[when confronted with the fact that government revenues went up when capital gains taxes were reduced] I want taxes to go up out of fairness - Barack Obama

We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle class people. Anyone making over $250,000 is going to pay more. You got it. It’s time to be patriotic. - Joe Biden

...the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution... - Barack Obama

It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations - Barack Obama

I want the full skinny on the dem insurgency . . uh, I mean the transition...When a One-Party State is instituted, that's not an insurgency; an insurgency is when a One Party State is overthrown.

Like I said to CJ a while's back........owning a gunstore would be mint right about now.

But to be honest...I think the shortage of military surplus is not a direct correlation with Obama getting elected.....it's been getting pricey for the better part of 2+ years now...so good deals for it don't seem to last

A year ago the shortage was from hoarding and the Chinese need for raw materials. That is what I read.

This November, I think hoarding is back in vogue. There is a lot of panic buying right now, on the short term it is good for the merchant, but on the long term could have lasting negative effects on the industry irregardless of what ever the government does.

Yep, I buy tens year worth of ammo to day. I probably won't be buying ammo for a while.

The sugar industry screwed it self in the late 70's by creating a artificial shortage, that created a run on sugar. People found alternatives to sugar and did not go back and those that over bought, did not buy for a while.

Funnily enough I've been shopping around for a couple of cases myself.

I figure I have about 4-5 years worth....but on a recent varminting hunt with some mates I had to do the unthinkable!

I had to crack open a perfectly sealed and full case of ammunition......and having done so, I accidentally upset the equilibrium in my armoury.

I've now got to restore order in The Force, rebalance my Fung Shui, and make a sacrifice to the Gods of Marksmanship and buy at least TWO cases for my inexcusable actions :)

Although my wife doesn't fall for it.....she prefers my "buying dollars for 0.40c each line" works every time...so far :)

[Hollis]

One should never upset the balance of The Force. I did a inventory of stocks about a year and half ago. I think I am well balanced. Also I reload so, I keep the makings around.

One of the cost saving features that I did was organize my ammo supply better. I would forget what I had and ordered more, when a sale was going on. So when I started to streighten things out it is when I found out, I was blessed. The Force had provided.

Hate to bump, but what's the latest on the birth certificate 'controversy'? Only two weeks till inauguration...

[vryhpyammoadded]

I recently attended a gun show here in Tallahassee that blew my mind how crowded it was compared to the years before. I could safely say there were four times the buyers attending. We were packed in like sardines. I nearly had my eye poked out when some guy carrying an M1A bent over to look at a M1A para. Those little blades on the front site are dam sharp, ouch. I also got the hammer of something driven into my right funny bone when I turned around too quick a few moments later. Gotta learn to keep those elbows in.

I wasn’t even near prepared for the prices having limited myself to only $600 with an eye on replacing my odd ball, but very, very sweet, .257 Roberts. I’m trying to standardize all my working guns to 2 common ammos 223 for the kids and 308 for me… Anyway, prices are spiking fast. That $600 could barely get me a decent new long gun but there were some deals in the used ones. Still, it’s nowhere near the insanity that was around just before the Clinton ban when a Chinese SKS went from $60 to over two grand. Good god, I saw dozens of M1 carbines and never one under $600. I still have mine from when I bought it at scout camp, in California no less, with my lawn mowing money. My have things changed.

Still, I picked up one sweet 870 slug gun dirt cheap, always wanted one, and I managed to get a another Ruger 77, this time in .223 for my kids when they learn to shoot.

Everywhere I overheard people talking about Obama and the Dem’s and how this would be the last chance to buy. In the smoking area I bumped into four of the local deputies in civvies and a couple of Leon county cops I know all loaded down with new purchases. They were joking around checking some guy out who had that never blinks, liver with fava beans sort of look and a steamer trunk full of new AR-15’s. He kept talking doom and gloom, end of times stuff. A uniform then pulled up and I split to get out of the way and let them do there thing.

Damn that 870 rocks. Good golly slugs are fun. Rattles my dam teeth!

You can bitch all you want about the President, he is only 1/3 of the equation. Ultimately Congress is who you should pissed at. Every single Republican and Democrat that has gutted this nation over the past two or three decades.

Congress is, ultimately, what is broken...and broken badly.

Agreed who will stand and purge the traitors?

Well he is in the process of stacking the deck and giving every other moron friend of his a new job. They all have the same qualifications for their respective job just like him, none! I'm just happy we have a black man as president. We can now feel better about ourselves, got the t-shirt checked that box. Perhaps next time we can get a one eyed deaf Indian in a wheel chair, that would be a change. Once again my predictions Obama are all coming true. The Dems will lose the house and the senate. I also predicted that Obama would be the best thing to ever happen to the conservatives. I didn't predict however that he would be gun saleman of the year. Since Jan and his very, very expensive little party Americans have bought enough guns and ammo to supply the entire Army of China. Wow, I wonder why????

Because people will incorrectly assume that Republicans will correct the problems. The problem is they are one in the same.


I didn't predict however that he would be gun saleman of the year. Since Jan and his very, very expensive little party Americans have bought enough guns and ammo to supply the entire Army of China. Wow, I wonder why?

That was the easiest thing to predict. It happens every time. Irrational fear of government or world events leads to greater gun purchasing. Gun owners are their own worst enemies. Most folks are hoarding ammo not using it. In time that will correct itself, most gun owners do not go through a case of ammo month.

Its all about irrational fear...be you liberal or conservative...be it terrorism or swine flu. Americans LOVE to be scared and Americans LOVE to cash in on their neighbor's fear.

My look into the future on 11-08-08; "So far everything this guy has done has been glossed over, excused and everyone acts like he's clean as a whistle. The Black vote was a gimmie, freebee no sweat. He could have been a crack head, thief, racist and been elected. The brother voted one thing and one thing only, color! The stupid mad white vote came as a result of the economy. He better be able to keep the whitee mad and stupid if he wants to keep the house and the senate. My prediction we the "right" will take the house and the senate within two years. Hey he's got four years to do what he wants then the pay back comes. One tour broham then find a new job. King Hussein will be the best thing to ever happen to the right. We needed a break anyway to point the finger at a liberal puke. Sure is funny no one attachs any responsibilty to the "left" for the Fanny Mea , Freedy mack mess."

Wow it was like I had a crystal ball or something...

Pretty interesting. He's turning into the "divider", rather than the "uniter". I see a few more anti-Obama signs every month, even a couple "don't you miss me (President G.W. Bush) now?" posters.

Been a while...but I keep coming back.

Before you get all uppity though I would wait until the Midterms and see what happens. There are some states with some interesting three party races. In the end though its not hard to predict where we might be headed in a political environment...in the end it will be status-quo of what amounts to a constant train wreck that simply continues on and on without end regardless of which party is in power.

I see the American people these days as brainless lemmings, be they fans of Pelosi or Tea Party members. They are fairly ignorant, vote with little responsibility or understanding of either the issue on hand, and have little idea of both the political and social history of this great nation.

We are a nation of petty people, selfish people, where laws so vast and detailed will quite literally drown us all.

What actually happen at the Midterms and on is almost irrelevant. It'll just be more status quo.
