I disagree. Now his agenda has been rejected (even 56% of Massachusetts voters yesterday indicated ObamaCare was the main reason for their vote!)... a process that will be complete in November. This is the moment I've been waiting to see whether I am right or wrong about him on the deepest levels of my critique. He's now been pretty openly rejected---even by his own. If I'm wrong, he'll make a huge push to the center, and maybe even cut some taxes that matter for job creation, etc., and embrace Republican participation and openness etc. He'll stop demonizing people and mocking his opponents. He'll give interviews, yea, even to Fox. He'll hire some czars and czarinas who don't think Mao is the best philosopher they can quote. He'll abandon the current health care bill and start afresh the way he promised to. He'll drop cap'n'trade and amnesty for illegals nonsense at least until the economy recovers, and reverse course on providing civil trials for terrorists. (There were already grumblings yesterday that Holder may need to eat some humble pie regarding KSM's New York trial, since this decision was wildly unpopular everywhere except Pakistan.) I already expect him to take a deficit hawk stance, at least verbally, but this is so far belied by his first year's actions -- which make anything but deficit hawkery absolute tomfoolery at this point -- and he has no credibility on the subject at all. If I'm right, we'll see a new angry and combative Barry, who will go for broke on his far left agenda, however many of his own party get slain, metaphorically speaking, in November for it. Already, his top advisers are signaling his doubling-down on all these things. Nights like last night are why he hates the Constitution, and is trying every which way he can to gut it. It's all about what the government "shall not do" instead of (as he prefers) what government "must do" on "your behalf." This underlying philosophy of his -- caught on radio in Chicago in 2003 -- is so at odds with the Constitution, and the nation's ingrained disposition, frankly, that his taking the oath to preserve, protect and defend it a year ago today is THE underlying contradiction of his presidency. No wonder he flubbed the oath not once, but twice. All this will become even clearer over time. Already, it is getting clearer. - Publius > -- > Regards, > > Pete > http://pete-theisen.com/ > http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
