The lovely thing about the design of the United States and the spirit instilled in its normal citizens is that the Confused One can say anything he wants, as stupid and ridiculous as that talk may be, but he is not empowered to enact anything. He simply does not have the power, he can't get the power, and he doesn't have any resources to force anyone to do anything.
As much as "freepers" and the like enjoy blustering about the lack of backbone inside the conservative majority in the nation, it really isn't the reality. When push comes to shove, Obama and his communist friends can go pound sand.
The Big Zero may have been elected because of a message of "change" (along with a couple of million votes manufactured in strategic places), but since that "change" was never defined or explained, he and his ilk are up against a vast number of folks who were foolishly allowed to define "change" for themselves, individually without direction, in their mostly clueless brains.
It has been only two weeks and we are already seeing how reality is clashing with the imagination. Most of those imaginations were ready for a Utopia-lite scenario with freedom and justice for all of those imaginary downtrodden and hopeless folks they hear about but never see. They were not planning on, nor will they accept, communism-lite with "change" that actually touches their own lives.
I don't know if Obama The Puppet-Idiot will survive a year. His "administration" may turn out to be "historic" in more ways than one.
