Supposedly, 53% now oppose Obamacare. If his 52% win was a mandate, wouldn’t that make opposition to Obamacare a “mandate” as well?

It is my fervent hope that he will resign before his first term is up. When Congress is reorganized next year he will no longer have the willing participants he needs to advance his agenda and he will quickly lose interest. He will give some spectacular speech about racism, stir up a race war and then drop it all in Joe Biden’s lap.

Welcome, huxley. Obama is and has always been best understood as a quasi-Marxist quasi-academic of no particular distinction other than a pleasant speaking voice. You and I should lift a glass to the shade of FredHjr.

CV Says:

To think that we have three and a half more to go, and possibly four more beyond that, is downright depressing.

It could be longer than that if Rep. Serrano (D-NJ) gets a repeal of the 22nd Amendement passed. He’s pushed it for years, but with a Dem Congress, passage of a repeal is now possible. Just like Chavez, we could have Emperor For Life Obama!

I always believe he thinks he can have both. If necessary, though some ACORN plus census machinations.

Check this out: Supporters of President Barack Obama's health care agenda are ramping up their efforts with rallies and bus tours starting this week ASTROTURFERS! I wonder if Pelosi will call them UnAmerican.

I will bet money that his current poll numbers and general unhappiness with his performance are being concealed by his staff, possibly involving fear of reprisal. I doubt he will have any idea of the shifting mood of the country.
In his mind its just special interests “manufacturing it” and besides he has a mandate to change everything in his image, after all, its what the voters wanted.

Steve: I agree that he’s not the least bit comfortable with it.

But I have come to believe that he’d rather be a one-termer than give up his far Left agenda.

I always believe he thinks he can have both. If necessary, though some ACORN plus census machinations.
