Hugs and Kisses,

[I would have ended this here, because brevity is the soul..... well, you get it -- but lately it's not safe to be a short diary around here ;o). So, I'll expound. Please take the jump with me.....]
So, 52, just to recap. While you were spending these last months swooning over his oratory wonder, his alleged post-racial heal-the-national-scars [eep] talk, his promises to lower taxes [sniggle] for 95% [BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA] of the people [AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA], his Hope-&-Change , which means “Hope he leaves me a little change after all the upcoming tax hikes” ::struggling to regain composure::, his ending the culture of corruption ::oh no, composure slipping:: in Washington [BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA], ::deep gasp::, [AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA], and in general his ability to leap tall buildings with a single bound, stop trains, and all that….. [whew] ………….OK, I’m better now…..
Well, you stupid idiots, we were telling you otherwise for months. Now it seems your blissful post-election cigarette has been rudely interrupted, and you’ve found that your bonny lass was actually a hooker, and not a very pretty one, once the light got turned on. And she took your wallet on the way out the door.
We told you:
- That the One had some shady, off-color, sleezy relations back in Chicago. I know for a fact that we used the term ‘Chicago Machine’. Do the names Tony Rezco, Mayor Daly, ACORN, and William Ayers sound familiar? They should, because WE have been talking about them for months. Now you can add to the list the names Blago, Harris, and Jesse Jackson Jr.
- That the post-racial talk was just smoke, that he was just a second-rate race-baiter, no better than Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. And we now find that your spiritual mentor Reverend Wright not only calls our nation the ‘US of KKK A’, but that he believes that America bombed Hiroshima on December 7. Whether that was 1941 or 1945, I’m not clear on. Stupid AND America-hating. Speaking of chickens coming home to roost….
- That the ‘culture of corruption’ was a term that fit Democrats a WHOLE lot more than it does Republicans. Add Blago, his CoS John Harris, Obama’s soon-to-be-ex CoS Rahm Emanuel, and soon-to-be-ex Congressman William Jefferson to the list. While we are at it, let’s add Eric “Pardon Inc, Never Gonna Be SecState” Holder. We are impressed, by the way, with the very chutzpah of that nomination.
- That ‘the one’ had had no executive, buck-stops-here experience, and in fact had never shown any inclination to take charge of anything. What’s Boy Wonder had to say about the UAW bailout bill? What? I can’t hear you…… We already know what he’s had to say about the Blago affair. To paraphrase: “That guy is not the Blago I knew.” Yep, that’s one take-charge CEO you got there, 52.
- That he was actually NOT going to pull the troops precipitously from Iraq. The fact that this surprises you speaks volumes about your IQ as a group.
- That this guy was an ‘uh’ machine. Kind of annoying now, isn’t it?
So anyway, 52, enjoy your STD. You earned it.

Welllllllll, GC, it goes like this
E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Saturday, December 13th at 9:38PM EST (link)The 58 is coming, it is inevitable, and it will bring with it more destruction on our way of life (freedom) than the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. You are absolutely right, and I don’t minimize our impending doom.
But I do observe with a great deal of relish, the cries of ‘foul’, and ‘we didn’t know’ from the rank and file suckers and buffoons that make up the 58, as various FOO (Friends of Obama) get frog-marched out of various government buildings. I plan to have fun tormenting the followers of the One Cult in the meantime.
Further though, it is my opinion, and I am not alone, that these implosions will lead to a damaged and less effective Obama administration, and will serve to begin the shift of American opinion regarding exactly who is the ‘party of the culture of corruption’, while the GOP is purging the wusses and training like the Spartan 300 for the next round.
It is not fully satisfying, but that is my rationale, my brother. The respect and admiration is entirely mutual, by the way, in case you wondered.

Based on what?
SteveLA (Diary) Saturday, December 13th at 10:07PM EST (link)game
The underestimation of one’s opponent is the surest way to insure a good butt whipp’n.
The assumption that Obama is going to fall on his face of his own accord ignores the investment the MSM, Liberal elites, academia and prevayors of a coming racial spoil system have made in getting “The One” where he is today. Those that supported and elected Obama will not abandon him, there’s no where else in the wings for them to turn to and Hillary just got taken off the board.
Turning to the Republican side of the equation, the Republican brand is about as welcome as a new Toyota is at a UAW Union Hall meeting when it comes to the general public’s point of view, and in terms of remaking the brand to appeal to John Q., that process has not even begun yet.
We have a Republican President selling out to the Big 3 in Detroit, few new ideas from the Conservative side of the ditch and a Republican communications machine that has been left to rot by the President.
At best, it’s going to be a long two years to the Congressional elections, and even longer two years to the next Presidential race with no clear leader that unites the party and appeals to the general public.
As I said, underestimating “The One” is a real bad thing to do.

It was all so predictable. There was nothing to the candidacy except hopes for what might happen. Well, things are starting to happen presently.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Agreed
Next93 (Diary) Sunday, December 21st at 9:10AM EST (link)The only consolation I have as part of the 48 is that, had we won, the country would have gone to hell anyway, just not quite as fast.
As it worked out, the One’s incompetence may actually prove to be a blessing; McCaine would actually have been able to get his stupid policies (amnesty, cap-and-trade) implemented. I suspect that Big O and the D’s are going to be so paralyzed by infighting and showboating that, faced with a solid front of filibustering congressional R’s (acting more out of annoyance than actual conservative values), they’ll fail to get any of thier major legislation passed.
Obama was The One in 2008.
He’ll be a BIGGER one in 2012.
Somewhat overstated.

mbecker908 (Diary) Wednesday, December 17th at 5:56PM EST (link)by “Somewhat overstated.” are referring to Aaron’s comment or the fact that you corrected him twice?
heh...I think at this point Bird should just say "BOTH"....;^)...n/t

(I haven’t typed that since you stopped supporting Huck

52 is the % of folks who voted for Obama. Commentary headed by something like “Dear 52″ would then be a note to t.h.e.m.
I knew I was going to look like an idiot for asking because I wasn't making the connection!

thing.
I thought it would be impolite of me to answer from ’46′, since the ’52′ are not exactly *bright* folk..
But thanks anyway.

rcov092 (Diary) Saturday, December 20th at 1:30PM EST (link)Jerry Brown, the Attorney General of the State of California (I think he swore an oath to uphold both the state and federal constitutions). charged with defending the interests of the State has announced that he will argue to the State Supreme Court that they should countermand the legitimate vote and will of the people, (done in accordance with the law of the State of California) to grant special rights to a narrow contituency based on a choice in behaivior.
It might be just me, but it seems that he…in his quest to run for Governor and seeing Obama throw the Gay constituency under the bus in his quest for re-election to President, is jumping in to assume the role of Gay Panderer In Chief. The Balkanization of the country will continue unabaited.

Achance (Diary) Saturday, January 3rd at 9:36AM EST (link)I’m thinking Happy Days Are Here Again on Jan. 21 and never will be heard a discouraging word. Any opposition to or criticism of BHO specifically and Democrats generally will simply be ignored by the MSM, and I include Fox News in that too. They simply won’t take the chance of being frozen out, and unlike stupid Republicans this regime WILL freeze out anyone who crosses them. Republicans like the abused children that most of them are just try harder to get a hostile media to like them.
Any opposition to BHO, Pelosi, and Reid will be relegated to talk radio, as long as it lasts, and to the blogs.

The thing that will alienate the left isn’t that the large conventional forces will stay there (they won’t): its that State, and USAID and the Special Operations Community will have a large presence there for years to come and will need to stay there for years to come.
