Larry, you are in for a big deception! All his past extreme leftists associations that launched his campaign and made him the POTUS will not tolerate that he doesn’t realize that secret agenda they were planning for this country thru him. They won’t be around in 2012. The voters who voted for him, voted mostly for his socialize health care system, his promisses of cutting taxes and for his spreading the wealth. They will be very mad at him and won’t give him a second chance. He will screw the foreign policies and the Jews will turn against him… and so will the Muslims. When you try to govern from the center (which is not governing at all), you please no one and you upset everyone.

And I want to remind you that governing from the center is not governing at all. The Center has no values, no goal, and no soul. Governing from the Center is like driving a car on the neutral shift gear. It leads you nowhere. Your car can be full of gas and very powerful but on neutral, you go nowhere, you stagnate. This is going to be the worst POTUS of all times. The Center accomplishes nothing.

And for what you call his pragmatism, that’s a too much of a nice word to describe him. In reality, he is a manipulator that just wanted to be the most powerful person in the world by becoming the President. That’s all. It is an ego trip. He doesn’t give a dam about this country; he only gives a dam about himself. America will stagnate for 4 years… 4 years lost in the History of USA. He will solve nothing, accomplish nothing, he will just press on the gas pedal with is other foot on the clutch. That is governing from the center. A waste of time that leads you nowhere.

And while the U.S. will be on the neutral gear shift, other countries will make some moves either to the right or to the left. After this 4 years of doing nothing, America will no longer be No. 1 in this world. Wow… what a fantastic POTUS! Larry, you might be a genius in your field of work, but on politics you are very naïve.

From your lips to Obama’s reign, Larry. This is exactly what I meant when I said I hope the new POTUS is a major flip flopper.

But renege on his campaign promises, and he’ll be a one termer…. The precious approval ratings every one seems to hang on will be low… from his own party. Read somewhere that Hillary wasn’t ruling out a 2012 run. Against an incumbent? If true, she’s banking on his campaign lies sinking him.

I mostly agree Larry, but I think from a different perspective. I don’t think that he’s the kinda guy who can be President and steer his own boat. I think he’ll govern from the center (even the right on some issues) out of necessity and default rather than by choice.

Obama is not a committed, principled Left Winger.

He’s a pragmatist, of the mold of Clinton and Nixon, but hopefully without the fatal character flaws.

His ambition is not to remake America into a socialist country. His ambition is to be the greatest President in history. Everything about his career has been self-serving pragmatism. He was a South Side Chicago politician and then a Democratic Senator from Illinois. His politics reflected his situation at each time.

Now, he’s President, and he’s not going to let campaign rhetoric stand in his way. He knows he’ll be judged in 4 years by results and not by a scorecard of which campaign promises he kept and which he didn’t. One of his goals is a Red/Blue reconciliation. He’ll govern from the center to occupy this turf and push the GOP to an extreme Right corner. This will do much more to ensure his re-election than turning the USA into a soulmate of the European Union.

Underestimate and caricaturize this man at your own peril.

And BHO said McCain would be more of the same of Bush? Remember Obama is a distant cousin of Dubya & Cheney, so this shouldn’t come as too shocking. I still expect that socialist edge to be crawling in to infest the carpets, but this does cause one to pause and say, Hmmm…”

Why gather Intel and then leak it to the NYSlimes.

Hussein and Slow Joe got their first ‘Top Secret’ military briefing and the NYSlimes had another story out designed to get American soldiers killed.

Hussein had a private meeting/converstion with GWB and immediately the Lame Stream Media printed the content of the meeting, leaked by the Hussein regime.

If you ever considered a bomb shelter now would be a good time to build one and hide the entrance real well. Don’t tell any democrat you have it or you’ll never be able to get in it. A family of 20 criminal Mexicans will be move in.

The press will turn on him in a heartbeat. It’s their nature. Like sharks in the water when a drop of blood plops. Besides, they’re already hungry and bored. Today I saw them revive the Natalie Holloway story. That’s diggin’ the bottom of the barrel.

How will a President Obama emotionally handle going from “The One” to an unpopular President? Should be

The press will never desert him. They banked their reputation on him and if he falls so do they. They will continue to praise him. Just look at the First of the Sanday funnies and see an exampletheir hypocrisy.

My goodness, this will be the last holiday season he will be able to enjoy with his family as a “private citizen” before he comes under fire from the press and his enemies abroad.

That will be the day. LOL
