#1 How bout a nice "malaise" speech?

#2 I can only hope the dems stay stupid and do angry speech after angry speech. It might be a 50 state sweep for the Republicans.

Wall Street has become quite predictable. The day BEFORE the Obama speech is the day to SELL. Buyers, wait must least a day or two AFTER the Obama speech. Please keep bloviating Barry, we've found the investment formula.

#4 I think Cheney's endorsement of Hillary was battlespace preparation.

#5 I'm with DV. Stay dumb, my little progressive friends. Demand that Obama move to the Left. Shake your tiny fists. Call your countrymen 'teabaggers'. Hold rallies with lots of large, paper-mache puppets. Curse frequently. Demand more stimulus spending. Demand more taxes. Put Medea Benjamin in charge of something at the White House.

Oh yes, my little progressive friends, everyone you know is on your side.

#6 "Stay dumb, my little progressive friends."

They will. The crony capitalists will keep the proles wipped up. What choice do they really have? They'll go down flying the flag.

This may get ugly.

#7 There is a line of reasoning that the Dems will have to ride this ship all the way to the bottom. They can't win national elections without the black vote, blacks still support Bammo and so no Dem will put the black vote into jeopardy by running a primary challenge.

The good news is that after this administration crashes and burns there won't be another "progressive" president for a generation. The bad news is there probably won't be another black president for a generation either.

#8 Word. I would really have enjoyed having a cool black president like Allen West or Herman Cain. That's totally screwed now, at least for a while. Hell, if Obama had stuck to doing things like killing Bin Laden, going after Qaddafi, playing golf, and giving speeches about nutrition... and nothing else, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

#9 Iblis, I disagree. A good black conservative candidate could win within a generation.

*cough* Allen West *cough*

#11 Dems starting to think Obama could lose

Think some of them are smart enough to worry that he might not?

#12 Glenmore:

Hope you are right, but not convinced of it.

Any such hypothetical candidate would need the support of Independents to win. This lot is almost be definition motivated by emotion more than anything else. They swept Bammo into office, and next year will sweep him out again. What emotion will they be feeling next time a black candidate runs for the presidency? I'm not talking about reasons; I'm talking about emotions.

#13 We have yet to have: a female president, an asian president, a hispanic president, a native american president, a skandihoovian president....

#14 I'm waiting for the first Klingon president myself.... Then we will have... interesting... debates.

#15 If they run a piece of plywood against him, I'm voting for it. Almost as effective, not nearly as dangerous...

Well, some of us racist, terrorist, SOB, hobbits support Herman Cain.
