A Different Slant On The Obama Presidency

[Silver Bullet]

I received this in an email.[/i]

 

One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point.  She
says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream!  She gives
us an entirely new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing,  and she says
that  she will thank God for the President.  Keep reading for her additional
comments and an explanation.
 
When discussing Obama, she says:
 
1.  Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through
the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations - something no Republican     
was ever able to do.
 
2.  Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling
Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.
 
3.  Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!  Dennis Moore
had never lost a race.  Evan Bayh had never lost a race.  Byron Dorgan had
never lost a race.  Harry Reid - soon to be GONE!  These are just a handful
of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed.  By the end of
2010, dozens more will be gone.  Just think, in December of 2008 the
Democrats were on the rise.  In the last two election cycles, they had picked up
 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats.  The press was touting the death of the
Conservative Movement and the Republican Party.  However, in just one year,
Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House - if not the
Senate - back to the Republicans.
 
4.  Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they
are.  Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they
should never actually put liberals in charge.  Obama is bringing home the
lesson very well:
Liberals tax, borrow and spend.
Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America .
Liberals want to take over the economy.
Liberals think they know what is best for everyone.
Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.
 
5.  Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since
Reagan.  In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and
brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans.  Name one other
 time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back
 America !
 
6.  Obama, with his "amazing leadership," has sparked the greatest period
of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen.  Law abiding
citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field
 while other industries have failed, faded or moved off-shore.
 
7.  In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my
life.  Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was
going.  I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. 
My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack
of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been
flat wrong.
 
 
 8.  When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader
can fool them!  Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans!
 
 
Again, I want to say:  "Thank you, Barack Obama!"  After all, this is
exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately  needed!! 
 
 
November 2nd is HUGE!!!!

Fun stuff.  I hope it's true.

I hope it's true too ... but I am dubious.
We've known what the dems are for half a century.  If it takes Obama to figure out what they are, we're behind an absurdly slow learning curve.
I wonder if our country has the time?
What gets me is Barney Franks and some others are apparantly on the road to re-election, and Blumenthal  in Ct. -- what the heck??  He lied about Vietnam .... and people will vote for that??


No.... there's a long long road ahead of us.  We have corrupt government BECAUSE WE VOTE FOR IT.

[MechAg94]

Isn't one of Ted Kennedy's sons still in Congress or somewhere in politics?

[RocketMan]

The Republicans might capture the House this November.  There is absolutely no chance they will take the Senate.  And within two election cycles, certainly no more than three, they will have given all their gains back to Democrats.  The cycle repeats, the electorate never learns.

Obama's certainly thrown a kleig light on the harsh consequences of unchecked leftism.  Trouble is, the underlying cultural, demographic, and moral trends are still in place, and powerful forces they are, gathering momentum for decades.  To stop them, much less reverse them, will require Americans who love this country to get on the equivalent of a mass war footing, something we haven't done in America in 70 years.  Can we do it?  I don't know that we can, not as a nation entire.  We are being undone in part by our own nostrums regarding education and media.  The other side still has control of the dialogue.

[Silver Bullet]

The other side still has control of the dialogue.

But not of the Internet.

Yet.

I get the biggest kick out of chattering class and even a few, very few, of the ruling political elites who saying something to the effect, "If we don't get control of our government in this election we never will."  I will ignore the plethora of threads such a comment can generate and focus on only one.  "If we don't get control of our government in this election we never will AT THE PRICE WE ARE CURRENTLY WILLING TO PAY."  Too many pundits have cast this election as a make or break.  Maybe so, most likely not.  What it will demonstrate is the price we are willing to pay as a society to start peeling the fascist tentacles off our collective faces.  My well-founded cynicism and skepticism tells me the current market price of freedom is much higher than most people are willing to pay AT THIS POINT IN THE STRUGGLE.  Watch the debate over Obamacare.  Count the republicans who will cave on repeal based on "We can't deny gramma coverage for [insert condition of choice]."  At that point we will have determined the price is much higher than we are willing to pay.

Ugh. Chain emails.  For a second there, I thought I was using an AOL account....
