Interesting! I think Obama is too arrogant to ever resign but if the Dems lose the House and the Senate they may quietly support a Sestak allegation investigation.
Months ago, I predicted in this column that President Obama would so discredit himself in office that he wouldn't even be on the ballot in 2012, let alone have a prayer of being reelected. Like President Johnson in 1968, who had won a much bigger victory four years previously than Obama did in 2008, President Obama will be so politically defunct by 2012 that he won't even try to run for reelection.
I am now ready to predict that President Obama will not even make it that far. I predict that he will resign in discredited disgrace before the fall of 2012. Like my previous prediction, that is based not just on where we are now, but where we are going under his misleadership.
Watergate was supposed to have established that Presidents are not above the law. If that is so, President Obama may have to resign for breaking the law in the Sestak affair.
But the Sestak affair is just the early breeze of the gathering political storm that threatens to envelop President Obama. A mysterious explosion over six weeks ago in a deep sea oil well a mile below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico continues to gush oil to this day, heading for Gulf beaches and fisheries. The White House says the President held a meeting on it in the Oval Office on Day One. But we have not heard a word on what was done in that meeting 44 days ago, other than develop political talking points.

Oh, I don't think he'll resign. He's too egotistical and has no understanding in his own ability to fail. To much narcissism in one human.

I agree. He'll continue to think that his personal popularity will pull the Dems out of this mess, this "perfect storm" that is brewing.
When he is shown to be utterly and catastrophically wrong, the survivors will shun him like the plague. Bill Clinton's status as a former President will be elevated in the eyes of the Democrat Party, to the extent that any future Dem candidate will expressly tell Obama, "Thanks, but no thanks" when it comes to future endorsements. Bill Clinton will get far more requests for endorsements.

Then Obama needs to start looking at Rasmussen, Gallup and individual states polling on his popularity, this is Pennsylvania from an article I read this morning:
A Susquehanna Polling & Research survey in April found Obama's job approval in Pennsylvania fell to 42 percent, with 49 percent disapproving

This "deity" couldn't even calm the storms that prevented him from speaking to his faithful followers. Hell, my diety's son can do that without working up a sweat.

Well wishful thinking...but anything is possible...If he continues to plummet in polls...the democrats just may do something about the Sestak situation and boot him out....and go on to endorse Hitlery for 012.

I hear a fat woman warming up ready to sing .
It should be interesting tomorrow on how the talk with the Governor of AZ goes.
What do you want to bet he will offer her a job as a Volunteer White House guide if she resigns as Governor.?
I imagine he and she will speak to reporters telling them that the talks went well and he now understands the problem. She will stumble out to her car with a large Manila envelope under her arm with photos of herself that she would die before having them released to the press.
One never knows, politics is a cut throat business.

FTC will take care of the Sestak situation. That goes away - no problem.
Obama will run for a 2nd term. Has to - if he doesn't, by the party's choice, then his entire presidency is proven to be a fluke and waste... and him a puppet.

No I do not think he will run for another term. Not unless forced to.
You know I am beginning to wonder just how much power this man has, how much power he is allowed to have.
I cannot think of any man from the mail man to any state official who given a taste of power does not use it. Heck in the private sector when people are promoted and they can not do the job, they get all huffy and try out their new found power. We underlings say the job has gone to their head.
The hardest job in America is to protect us from foreign and internal enemy's. Obama is just hiding under the Lincoln bed waiting for all problems to go away.
He waits for orders or instructions, never climbing out from under the bed to make even one decision on his own.
This is one scared, impotent man, he feels he can not afford to fail so he does nothing. Obama is like the Captain of a ship under high seas that hides in his bunk and turns the Helm over to the cook.
He knows the ship is sinking but takes advice from the man in charge of the laundry.He ignores the Chiefs and has a second in command that is drunk. His Officers hate him and plot against him.
After the ship runs up on the rocks, he will run to the papers and claim Muntiny and not my fault.

You don't think he's used it? He's helped take over three industries already..

I think that's the EASIEST job. One just has to do it. The hard job is LEADING. Or in his case, convincing a 300M person public that communism is the way... and that's been paved for over 90 years now.

I don't see that. hope you're right... but I don't see it. He is truly THE most powerful president we've had in 50 years, IMHO, because of what he has been able to accomplish...

Hillary has stunk as Secretary of State, let's hope Americans will be tired of Democrats by that time.

what are the results of a forced resignation or impeachment?
"whitey did it" "President Biden"
I'd wager if an impeachment were to happen. The POTUS would declare the dictatorship.
Hell will freeze over first.
-
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.

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.

With the Bush (43) tax cuts due to expire for next year, and the fact that ObamaCare will not go away until the Republicans hold both 60+ Senate seats and the Presidency--specifically, the @ 45% of doctors that are leaving medicine, the huge small business-killing tax increases that are coming to pay for it, and the government intruding into almost every aspect of our lives, to name a few--I think that Obama will wind up losing 40 states in November of 2012, and the Republicans will have 65 or so Senate seats for the new Republican President in 2013.

I agree that no Republican has come forward yet who can actually beat Obama, also if the Republicans win the majority in the House and the Senate there's a good chance Obama would win because Americans like divided Governments BUT if the situation around the world with terrorism gets out of hand? then I think Obama can lose.

That sounds good, and you can also add to that an unenthusiastic Democratic base, and that even includes the black community, who I think, if it's really bad? will just stay home instead of feeling forced to vote against Obama.

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.

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

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 (http://www.kltv.com/global/story.asp?s=12433654)
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 particularly like the one that refers to "Oblamer"..... :evillaugh:

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.

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.

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:

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.

I definately foresee a democrat bloodbath in '12. Things keep going the way they have been of late Obumblers presidency is going to make carters look like a roaring success by comparison. Leading to another dem bloodbath in '14

Y'all are forgetting that this general set of circumstances - an extremely left-wing president, ineffectual administration policies and legislative agenda culminating in extraordinarily high unemployment, recession, etc. etc... - has reared it's ugly head before.
All the pundits of the time swore that the Dim'Rats were going to take a pounding in the 1934 mid-term elections because FDR's big government expanding policies had clearly exacerbated the impact of the Depression. What nobody counted on was FDR holding on to "New Deal" funds - turning them into a personal slush fund, of sorts - until the last 3 months befor the November election, and then pouring them into congressional districts that were hard hit, but still heavily enough on the Dim'Rat side that they could be turned into a Dim'Rat victory. He poured so much money into those districts that the Reps for those districts couldn't keep track of it all; didn't matter, because FDR sent flacks with specially prepared charts and graphs for each district, showing the voters what the Dim'Rats had done to turn around the Depression in their area. It didn't matter that it was horseshit, or that the money was drying up as soon as the election was in the bag; they saw the flood of money coming in, they saw the Dim'Rats hands on the throttle pouring it in, and come November, they like dutiful sheep, pulled the lever for the Dim'Rat candidate.
Don't think for a second that Comrade Zero hasn't read that play book, or that he's forgotten about all of that TARP money just sloshing around in SecTres' piggy bank. That's vote buying, "walkin' around" money, to borrow a phrase from Al Sharpton. The 2010 elections are far far FAAAAR from in the bag, no matter how badly Lord Zero and his merry band of idiots seem to be pissing off the electorate now. Money makes for marvellously short term memories.

I sure hope many of my fellow Americans aren't as pessimistic and defeatist as some of the posters here! Our country really is at a crossroads. We either bring back the ideals of our founding fathers, or turn into China's bitch!
Idaho has never gone to a DemonRat pres in modern times, so I can say we pretty much pull our weight, other states, not so much! Even the Dems elected to local gubmint are conservatives around my neck o' the woods.
I'm hoping that between Bummer screwin' the pooch, immigration and the great healthcare boondoggle, Americans will wake up and smell the coffee for once!

It's 'way too far out to call, I just think it's a mistake to count Obama-wan out prematurely, as I think the MSM will flock back to him in slavish devotion to their rock-star as the 2012 campaign season nears.

If you look at his approval/disapproval ratings, the Lame Stream are about the only ones still supporting him. Well them, and those getting a portion of his "stash".
Barring some miracle, I foresee running him out of town on a rail!

It's 'way too far out to call, I just think it's a mistake to count Obama-wan out prematurely, as I think the MSM will flock back to him in slavish devotion to their rock-star as the 2012 campaign season nears.
Much truth spoken here.

Y'all are forgetting that this general set of circumstances - an extremely left-wing president, ineffectual administration policies and legislative agenda culminating in extraordinarily high unemployment, recession, etc. etc... - has reared it's ugly head before.
All the pundits of the time swore that the Dim'Rats were going to take a pounding in the 1934 mid-term elections because FDR's big government expanding policies had clearly exacerbated the impact of the Depression. What nobody counted on was FDR holding on to "New Deal" funds - turning them into a personal slush fund, of sorts - until the last 3 months befor the November election, and then pouring them into congressional districts that were hard hit, but still heavily enough on the Dim'Rat side that they could be turned into a Dim'Rat victory. He poured so much money into those districts that the Reps for those districts couldn't keep track of it all; didn't matter, because FDR sent flacks with specially prepared charts and graphs for each district, showing the voters what the Dim'Rats had done to turn around the Depression in their area. It didn't matter that it was horseshit, or that the money was drying up as soon as the election was in the bag; they saw the flood of money coming in, they saw the Dim'Rats hands on the throttle pouring it in, and come November, they like dutiful sheep, pulled the lever for the Dim'Rat candidate.
Don't think for a second that Comrade Zero hasn't read that play book, or that he's forgotten about all of that TARP money just sloshing around in SecTres' piggy bank. That's vote buying, "walkin' around" money, to borrow a phrase from Al Sharpton. The 2010 elections are far far FAAAAR from in the bag, no matter how badly Lord Zero and his merry band of idiots seem to be pissing off the electorate now. Money makes for marvellously short term memories.
Many differences between 1934 and 2010. We got our news from one source and that was the liberal media.. no talk radio or internet.. Democrats made up the majority of voters..
2010 election.. momentum is on the Repubs side..Democratic base is not happy with things like the war and the queers. The mood of the country is throw the bums out of office. It will be a blood bath for incumbents.
It is true that Obama will flood the Democratic candidates with plenty of money. It will not do any good because voters are hurting economically and they are pissed that the government has passed legislation that they are against. like health care, bailouts of the banks and GM. Nothing that Obama can do to change the mood of the country. Unemployment is up and people are worried about losing their jobs and houses. The election is 5 months away and there is no way in hell that Democrats can pull this one out of the fire. 2012 is a different story.
