#1 No surprise here - akong wid any "POTUS Hillary" + "all/mostly-Women/Female Admin" etc scenarios, the Left's last "gift" to free, democratic Federalist. WEstern-centric America of yore before the rise of Global SSR Amerika, before all Americans = Fascist Amerikans are sent to the gulags = exterminated for the good of the World, Space aliens, God, Enviro + espec ourselves. OIL STORM > Russia-China stays Russia-China, America = [Fascist/Rightist Socialist]Amerika is the only one that has to become the USR.

#3 ``But I have not thought about it with the seriousness and depth that I think is required.''

Neither has the MSM.

Obama's legislative record, both at the state and Federal level, will certainly be enough to disqualify him in successfully running for president, as far as the center-right is concerned. Also, his phony Kumbaya Christianity (the only type the atheist and agnostic fundamentalists in our cultural elite tolerate) is self evident.

Notwithstanding, Time magazine last week ran a carefully crafted puff piece about him, making it seem like he's the ideal candidate for our times (at least from their POV); strong on all the luvvy-duvvy, turn-my-cheek, "social justice" funded by taxes aspects of religion and yet vehemently opposed to any judgement of good vs evil, self-sacrifice and self-control, and rules of morality that are the other side of the coin. In other words, they're trying to craft him as Christian enough to interest the Democrats' and independents' shrinking religious base but not so much so that he'll scare off the atheist evangelicals at the far left of the party.

It's a measure of how out of touch the MSM is when they don't realize that the center and right can see right through this crap. We already had a phony centrist Trojan horse for the left in Bill Clinton. And we already had a "liberation ideology" (ie., Marxism and moral relativism hiding behind a Bible) president in Jimmy Carter. We remember.

#6 5089 - that is the first time I have read that. Damaging stuff. Does he really think in this day and age that he can get away with a deception of that degree? The hubris and arrogance he displays to think that he can control his image to that degree - is troubling. Narcissism is the word that comes to mind.

#8 Damaging stuff.

Maybe. But what was posted at that link is mostly speculation. Let's see if the author has anything more solid.

#9 Huh? #7. It's called the editing process, using Preview, where one looks at what one has written and then considers if it's coherent, rational, persuasive, and actually expresses the thought intended. On first blush, I have to say I wonder whether #7 slipped through this net. Or not.

#10 I agree with WX. This is great for Republicans. If Congress is lost this round, voters will already have had enough of Dummocrats. Plus, "Pubs" need recovery from Bush who is a "Pub" RINO. This would be only be fair since we handed Blow Job the '96 election by running a corpse (otherwise known as Bob Dole). This Obama puffery has no credentials to be a US Senator let alone US Pres. Let the Donks offer up Hilldebeast or this buffoon. I think 30% of vote would be generous.

#11 Between Him, Her, and the War Hero it should just about totally fragment the Democratic party into seperate self-serveing pieces. Be interesting to see just who ends up where.

#13 He's a nice kid, but a gun grabber and lefty. Also way too young and a senator, which means he basically can't win.

#14 I wouldn't dare to presume that someone who's against protecting Live Born Children is a 'nice kid'. This man is a scumbag of the most epic kind. Read this if you need convincing. To hell with him and his ilk.
