#2 Too bad the millions that voted for him in 2008 didn`t see what the deal was then! All these promises will just never happen while he is president.

#3 Barack Obama Has Awakened A Sleeping Nation
9/11 was all a nightmare, never happened

#4 A sleep greatly assisted by the blindfold put in place by the MSM. You know the one that endlessly drones about Abu Ghrab and Gitmo but seems to have a serious memory lapse [aka Memory Hole(C) 1984] about 9/11 where thousands of Americans really died.

#5 If as I fear, we are now in an unrecoverable flat spin, please permit me to slumber on.

#6 Some flat spins are recoverable, see the F106 that landed itself in Montana 2 Feb 1970, after its pilot ejected.

#7 Great article -- not something I'd normally expect from the AspenTimes.

He does describe himself as a redneck treehugger, though LOL.

#8 Someone tell me how I'm wrong about the following statements.

The tragedy of this is that once past, it cannot be stopped, because any efforts to repeal will be vetoed by this POS in the WH, and the agencies and commissions and civil servants will still be hired and established in the next 3 years. reversing that tumor is impossible.

And, the immediate and onerous taxes will bust the economy back into a double dip recession, breaking our ability to borrow more from the increasingly reticent ChiComs and Japanese. SO additional deficit spending will come through massive inflation and increased reductions in Defense and national security activities. American power in the world declines and the ascendent Chinese waste no time in reshaping everything their way, to include the basing of forces in out hemisphere, forever making economic colonies of willing dupes like Hugo and the Latin Amercian socialists.

At home, no jobs, permanent 10%+ unemployment, a profligate government transferring benefits/entitlements/payments/special preferences to selected supporters and an overwhelmed tax paying public. The relationship of the actual tax payers in this country with the aristocratic, tyrannical government and their non-taxpaying Democrat voter allies has just become overtly adversarial, not just conflicted.

Empires and nations do not survive these kinds of stresses. It takes a couple of decades, but the process has started. Our POS leader talked about change, and he was right. Tomorrow, the inevitable decline of the Republic was sealed!
Sauve qui peut!

#9 "any efforts to repeal will be vetoed by this POS in the WH"

His veto can be overridden buy Congress, NMBS.

Not saying it would actually happen, just that it could.

#10 Unfortunately, Barbara, it takes a two-thirds majority in the House AND the Senate to override a veto. There is no effin way that the Republicans will get two-thirds majority in both Houses in November.

#11 Maybe so, Rambler, but perhaps the some of the Dems who are still there untill 2012 will be scared enough by the November 2010 results that they'll vote to override.

Best thing is if they just fail to pass it this time.

Any of y'all who have fence-sitting Dems for reps, call them again and tell them to vote no. E-mail too.

#12 Barack H Obama has awakened many people....

Poem by me in October 2008, a parable about you-know-who before he was elected...

UPON THE APPROACH TO THE EVENT HORIZON

On a ship.
In the vast expanse,
A myriad of lights,
But this trip is different.

We are all together,
Yet we are split in two,
Many in the ship are drawn,
To a brilliant shining mass.

Yet as we approach it,
The center is hollow and void,
Half don’t care,
Half see alarm.

We pull against
Against each other,
We are drawn close,
Can’t they see danger?

God knows the answer,
In the end our fate,
Our fate is with Him,
The bell tolls.

Poem goes with this music:

UPON THE APPROACH TO THE EVENT HORIZON

An artistic type on the right side of the political spectrum... I know I am a rare bird..
