The Coming Resignation of Barack Obama

[DumbAss Tanker]

To all you doubters of my prophetic vision...the wager window just opened.   

Actually I agree with you about his chances.  There is a very substantial probability that the MSM will do its best to 'Not let him fail,' and bend over backwards to get him re-elected just as they did the first time, pointing back at the very tepid criticism of him in which they have finally indulged as evidence of their 'Balance,' 'Fairness,' and 'Freedom from bias.'

But the New Media is gonna be in full throat.  It's going to be very tough to silence it.

Whatca talkin bout Sucker?




Seems it wasn't all that long ago some called Watergate 'just a third rate burglary".

If a democrat was president then, that's all it would have been.

Remember, too, that President Bush would have won reelection by a landslide in 1992 if not for the collusion between the Clinton machine and their buddy Ross Perot.  Perot pulled away 19% of the non-socialist votes.

It is important to remember that, in case you are confused about where his allegiance lay, Ross Perot passionately endorsed Ann Richards over George W. Bush for Texas governor in 1995.  

Collusion? Seriously?

Frankly, we needed Perot...

[jinxmchue]

Can a Deity resign?

Can Obama create a rock so big he can't lift it?

[Lord Undies]

Collusion? Seriously?

Frankly, we needed Perot...

I cannot, even when given eighteen years, imagine a situation for my benefit in which the likes of Ross Perot would be an entity whom is "needed".

Perot's goal was to see Clinton in the White House.  Mission accomplished.  Maybe you needed Perot.  I did not.

I always believed it was to see Bush lose as opposed to see Clinton win.  Perot pulled the wool over a lot of eyes.  I wonder how many went on to become Ronulans.

Billboard In Marshall Asks Contraversal Question

MARSHALL, TX (KLTV) - On TV, in their homes, and even on our website, many people have voiced their displeasure with the current administration. But, in one East Texas town, a billboard is stirring the pot of political argument.

On Highway 59 in Marshall you come across a curious billboard, that simply says, "Vote Obama? Embarrassed yet?"

"I think people are just too quick to judge," said Roderick Martin. "I mean a president's term is not determined in the first year - the first two years."

"[It is] somebody else's opinion because it really doesn't matter," said William Coates. "People voted for him and they knew what he was going to do so they just have to wait over time 'till he shows what he's going to do."

Some say it is nothing more than exercising the right to free speech.

However you think about it, the reality is Bill Clinton would have never been president without Ross Perot.  After Clinton's fraudulent election, Clinton would not have had a second term without Ross Perot.  President Bush was cheated out of his second term by a phony campaign orchestrated by the Clinton/Perot collusion.   

President Bush would have won in a Nixonian landslide.

I won't disagree with a word of that.  May he rot in he77 for his perfidious deeds along with Bubba the bent.

I saw this article earlier today on msnbc... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37475801/ns/politics-decision_2010/

the article info has been covered in many threads....it's the comments at the end of the article that I think are remarkable.

I particularly like the one that refers to "Oblamer"..... 

[Lacarnut]

I am really going out on a limb and shudder at the thought....BUT I think that not only will Obama run in 2012 but that he has a fair chance of winning.  Before you double over laughing, look back to Bush 1 in 1992.  If you look at his approval ratings after the first Gulf War it appeared that he was going to have no issue in being re-elected.  Unfortunately we all know what happened.  Do not forget that Americans are fickle and couple that with the power of the media who desperately do not want their king to fail, I do not possess the feeling that Obama is toast.  Furthermore there is no clear front runner on the Republican side and if the economy rebounds the Dims will trumpet what a great job was done.  It is far too early to get overconfident.

Obama is doing everything to make sure the economy does NOT rebound. From unemployment going north, to health care going to hell in a hand basket, to big tax increases to pay for all the spending, to expanding government. All a Repub has to do is run on the principals that elected a VA & NJ Gov. and a MA Senator into office. However, you are correct that the Repubs should not even count their chickens in 2010 much less 2012.
I do not see anyway the Democrats and Obama can right the ship because Independent voters are angry at their policies.

I agree with you that Obama is seemingly doing everything he can to disrupt and destroy this nation.  However, we Americans are fickle and unfortunately two years is a long time in America.  We get distracted by shiny objects and forget the long-term implications of who we vote for. We easily fall for catchy campaign phrases like "Hope and Change."  Couple that with the power of the media and Obama can easily be re-elected.  All he needs is to get the masses energized by promising more free ponies and his urban base will be out in droves for him.

Taxman, I want to go on the record and say I disagree with you wholeheartedly
Not only will there be a bloodbath on democrats this year...but voter turnout will be huge in 012 to vote AGAINST Obama and his disaster policies.

You call them "policies".  Most folks call them "assaults".

And here comes the hate again.

Perot was a business man - he knew/knows how to run a P&L. That is exactly what this country needed then and now. I don't GAF if you're all butt hurt because a candidate outside of the beloved two party system (which is working out soooo well) got 19% of the vote. Bush 1 was a horrible fawking president anyway.

And that would be impressive and meaningful if Ross Perot's intention was to win and actually be president.  That wasn't his goal.  His goal was to play the spoiler against the two-party system by siphoning off enough votes from President Bush in order to insure Bill Clinton's win.

Stop the hate and admit reality.  President Bush was 1000 times the better man.  Clinton is/was a socialist bastard.

Glad you've got it all figured out.

Me stop the hate?    That's some funny fawking shit right there... Coffee out the nose funny!

Like I posted above...the wager window is open.   

For our country's sake I HOPE I am wrong.

Bush 41 was a good President. Perot did draw away some votes from him, quite a few, in reality. Was there some collusion between Perot & Clinton? Possibly. I would say, "prove it". That said, Bush 41 also made some mistakes, like the military draw down. During this "draw down", many people were frauded out of their potential retirements by the lure of some quick money. I almost fell for it until I ran the numbers. Clinton merely allowed  what Bush 41 put in place to continue. Clinton also rode the waning Reaganomics wave. It finally crashed in Sep 2000. What Clinton DIDN'T do was stomp on terrorism and allowed several attacks to happen, all unanswered, culminating in 9/11.

anyways, as far as the OP:

I haven't watched this show since I was a kid.  Suddenly I am curious, how many years was the show on the air and what is the highest rank Gomer Pyle achieved?

[DefiantSix]

According to IMDb.com, Gomer Pyle, USMC ran from 1964 - 1969.  Gomer remained a PFc for the entire run of the show.  The only character promoted in the course of the show was Duke Slater, who was promoted to Corporal in the show's final season.
