#1 If the multitude of BDS-loons haven't knocked off Bush in the past 7 years, I doubt some other loon will have more luck with ~~Osama~~ Obama.

Methinks Lessing is projecting her racism onto the U.S.

"Hillary is ... very sharp."

So's a battle axe.

But I repeat myself.

#4 ~~The best thing would be if they (Clinton and Obama) were to run together.~~

#5 Somebody doesn't like Obama.

It's not surprising that some European leftist loon would predict that we barbaric colonials would not suffer our country to be ruled by a black man. After all, we're uncultured, undignified, backwards (in comparison to France), and motivated only by corporate greed.

Where is racism strongest? In the entrenched cultural elite backwaters of noble Europe.

#9 ROTFL

This is actually a big improvement in moonbat attitude. I thought the meme was that Bushitlerburton was going to declare a state of emergency, cancel the election, appoint Cheney emperor, etc. Maybe Ms. Lessing is sort of a moderate lunatic.

#10 Obviously, the Nobel Prize committee is getting a little loose in its standards.

#12 Lessing has long been a far left socialist. I don't say communist because she does tend towards anarchism rather than centralized power, but she sure wants all classes to be equal and all means of production owned by the people.

#13 OH Yeah. Let's make _everyone's_ job dependent on how well they make the local or national politbureaus happy, and _then_ claim we're into decentralized power. These guys kill me.

#16 why would anyone take a science fiction writer's word for anything? It's not like she's a movie star or anything....

#17 "Ronnie did not break the curse. Hinkley. Bush has, so far."

True, NS. Maybe any potential assassins remembered who would become President if they managed to get Bush - and thought better of it. ;-p

#18 "...They would murder him,

I'm still wondering who the 'they' are, in Ms Lessings' mind? The KKK, Military Industrial Complex, The Masons, Tri-lateral Commission, or the Black Panthers??? Had she spewed this venom about the Queen, they probable would have interviewed her at Scotland Yard for inciting anarchy! Send her to Scotland...no, Ireland; they know how to deal with subversives!

#19 Ms Lessing fails to realize that if Obama picks Hillary as VP, he then assures his continued life to an old age.

#20 Reminds me of a great and controversial 1970's Made-for-TV flick about an African-Amer VPOTUS that becomes POTUS after the death or assassination? of the white POTUS. OPENING SCENE > Prez is dead, WH in panic/chaos, the VEEP is informed by telephone that the Prez is dead - only when the Veep hangs up the phone does the audience realize he is an African/Black-American.

#21 appoint Cheney emperor

Love that idea. Love it. I'm sure gonna miss that crooked little sneer when he leaves office. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll go on the talk show circuit.
