Obama 2012?

In the Investors Business Daily article, hat tip Drudge, "Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?", I hoped to find some hope that perhaps the tide would turn, or that there would be a revolution, perhaps a division of the US where Conservatives could begin anew.  I found no such answer.  What I did find on page 2 was depressing:

A President Obama intent on achieving his transformative goals despite the disagreement of the American people has powerful weapons within reach. In one hand, he will have a veto pen to stop a new Republican Congress from repealing ObamaCare and the Dodd-Frank takeover of banks.

In the other, he will have a fistful of executive orders, regulations and Obama-made fiats that have the force of law.

Under ObamaCare, he can issue new rules and regulations so insidiously powerful in their effect that higher-priced, lower-quality and rationed health care will quickly become ingrained, leaving a permanent stain.

Under Dodd-Frank, he and his agents will control all credit and financial transactions, rewarding friends and punishing opponents, discriminating on the basis of race, gender and political affiliation. Credit and liquidity may be choked by bureaucracy and politics — and the economy will suffer.

He and the EPA may try to impose by "regulatory" fiats many parts of the cap-and-trade and other climate legislation that failed in the Congress.

And by executive orders and the in terrorem effect of an industrywide "boot on the neck" policy, he can continue to diminish energy production in the United States.

By the trick of letting current-law tax rates "expire," he can impose a $3.5 trillion 10-year tax increase that damages job-creating capital investment in an economy struggling to recover. And by failing to enforce the law and leaving America's borders open, he can continue to repopulate America with unfortunate illegals whose skill and education levels are low and whose political attitudes are often not congenial to American-style democracy.

A wounded rampaging president can do much damage — and, like Caesar, the evil he does will live long after he leaves office, whenever that may be.

The overgrown, un-pruned power of the presidency to reward, punish and intimidate may now be so overwhelming that his re-election in 2012 is already assured — Chicago-style.

Heaven help us.

Time for us to bring out the heavy artillery -- Prayer.

It's a wonder he doesn't even care that he is so universally loathed. I pray God will stop him with whatever means are necessary. I fear only God CAN stop him. God's will be done for America.

I thought the Clintons were a shameless bunch, but Barry the Kenyan does'nt give a damn about what the people think...hence his challenge to Arizona this week. Disgusting ! B.T.W. Having a type pad account is a lot nicer than having to go through the spammers drill everytime ya make a comment. :)

"A wounded rampaging president can do much damage — and, like Caesar, the evil he does will live long after he leaves office, whenever that may be."

That was and remains the biggest worry. Consequences are still biting people in the ass. Just recently we saw what a clinton appointee did in the Christian vs whiny homos case.
