if America had any common sense it would not have elected Obama as President. what exactly were his credentials for being President again? community organizer (whatever that is) and a couple years in state legislature, less than 1 term in the senate. ZERO executive experience. he didn’t have enough experience to run Mcdonalds, but was voted President of United States???. we need someone with credible, executive experience. what we got was a smooth operator. lets face it, the ONLY reason he was elected was because of the color of his skin, and the slickness of his tounge. if anybody else with that resume had run for President,they would have been laughed out of town. face it, America got suckered!!!

If the Republicans do not come up with an alternative candidate that excites the 10-15% that are on the fence in each election, Obama will get reelected. Yeah we might have a nice turnover in the midterms, but otherwise its 1996 all over again.

Who cares who is in charge of Congress if Obama is reelected because Obama as President will determine the fate of our nation through his foreign policy decisions or lack thereof. That is what scares me.

We are seeing what he is and that is all fine and dandy, but we need an alternative who excites us or a copy of Obamas real birth certificate if we are going to make him a one termer.

“Olympic Gold For Narcissism” (George Will)

Perhaps the definitive putdown of Obama’s “defining moment” on the world stage. Not taking away from VDH or any other pundit, but Will focuses the debate on the Olympic fiasco in Copenhagen on Obama’s speech, which is where the crux of the problem was all along, IMO. Obama spoke to the world and came off as the epitome of the vapid, self-referential, arrogant Ugly American. The IOC awarded him the prize he deserved: a humiliating, and hopefully humbling, rejection.

Capt.Lewis, USMC

If the Marine Corps is taking recruits of my age and decrepitude, it has certainly declined from several decades back when as a young Spec 4 a Marine told me that “If everybody could be a Marine, it wouldn’t be the Marines. It would be the Army.” I try to hope like an optimist and plan like a pessimist. That seemed to work for the years that I served as an EOD specialist and today I am typing this with all my fingers while sitting on my un-blown-up ass.

I had hoped that the Republican party would nominate a candidate who didn’t suck. Did you hope for something different? When that hope didn’t pan out I hoped that the Republican candidate would run a decent campaign. Did you hope for something else? Now that Obama is elected, I hope that he will not be as bad as he seems likely to be since that would be bad for my country. What do you hope for?

Meanwhile, I try to take care of my family. I’m paying off debts, putting aside some cash and stockpiling water, canned goods, medical supplies and ammunition. I hope that I don’t need that stuff.

Now and Then:

“218. Brenda:
Welcome to the world of liberal angst for the last 8 years.”

N & T, how many years of Obambi hopenchange is it going to take to assuage that liberal angst of yours? Sounds like it’s become a permanent mindset. Keep drinking the Kool-aid. That’ll help.

Tina Trent:

“Maybe Obama went to Stockholm [sic] because he knew Chicago would lose.”

Freudian slip? Obama certainly gets a rise out of portraying his country as hostage to Euro-weenie Leftist angst. But in this case we would have to call it Copenhagen Syndrome: We are not worthy. For our sins, please humiliate us.
