My under-30 Obama friends, a visualization exercise
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 09:17 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
Visualise:

The MSM catipults Obama into a primary victory.

The GOP nominates Huckabee, so Obama is able to win the election in November.

Within months, the GOP minority starts destroying Obama for BEING A DEMOCRAT WHO GOT ELECTED.

They go after his blackness the way they went after Clinton's "hippy/draft dodging pot smoking"and "femminazi wife". They make up lies about his "suspicious" background. After a few months of that shit, a pissed off post Bush country drives him down to 35%.

Obama still has a successful presidency because the country is in crisis and he is able to get a few things done. He's liked by a majority so he gets reelected, but the PUKES hate his race, middle name, ears so much that the unfriendly GOP congress impeaches him for allegedly lying under oath about an ongoing Rezko investigation.

He survives that removal attempt and then his VP Bill Richardson runs.

BR wins the election but some asshole (some current young REPUKE president) gets Alito and Roberts to steal the election for Repukes.

President Asshole serves 8 years.

Come election time, the Democratic candidate starts talking about how Bush "got things done." "Got the country behind him" to go to war. Had "ideas" about tapping phones. Was "more successful" than Obama and so forth.

Understand why some of us don't trust "Reagan got the country behind him" Obama? Can you say you'd be alright with that unnamed Democrat using BUSH to pander to "unity" voters?

THAT'S the reality of the Obama-Reagan comments. Those of us who watched it all happen the last 16 years are just like you will be when you hear some DEMOCRATIC candidate praising Bush in 16 years and TRASHING OBAMA in comparison.

1. This might be news to you, but Blackness is not a scandalous or impeachable offense.
Snide jokes will be made, but this stuff will not go on openly.

6. No, thankfully it isn't. But I suspect the GOP will turn virtues into vices just like they did with
John Kerry. The GOP swift boated his war heroism and turned him into a national fool.

Don't think it can happen again? Pleeeaaaazzzze.

16. They're clueless about what PUKES are. It's mind boggling.

11. White water Redux
Is that the same Rezko that was photographed between a smiling Bill and Hillary Clinton?

Just wondering?

I'm from Illinois. There is even less beef in the Rezko case than there was in the "Whitewater," case, in which if I remember correctly was exactly nothing.

19. Moral weakness, not financial misdeeds and crimes.
Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about a relationship he had with a tubby intern. The impeachment had nothing to do with "Whitewater," and was a waste of 7 years of effort and 70 million dollars. Whitewater was a witch hunt pure and simple.

27. 935 lies 3941 KIA
Bush told 935 REAL (not imaginary) lies in the lead up to the Iraq war and is not going to get impeached. What changes?

5. This is lame even for you
They go after his blackness the way they went after Clinton's "hippy/draft dodging pot smoking"and "femminazi wife".


Being black isn't a crime or a character deficit. Get a clue.

15. Clinton supporters are getting desperate
It's funny how increasingly hysterical they've been since the South Carolina drubbing.

21. You should take up fiction.
And stay away from the political prognostication.
