Freeper post: Obama will win... and that's good news for the GOP
This is about as out there as you can get.


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2094812/posts



I know, the title is creepy, but before jumping at me, just consider these facts...

1. IT IS THE WORST TIME TO BE IN POWER FOR ANY NATIONAL PARTY America has been suffering the worst economic crisis since 1929. Americans are blaming the party ruling the executive branch for this rout, and that's why McCain numbers are so low. Now think that Obama will begin his presidency with America depressed. The power will be 100% controlled by Democrats, and the anger of the folks will turn against them.

2. DECMOCRATS WILL HATE OBAMA JUST AS THEY NOW HATE THEIR DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS Obama is unable to achieve his promises, either on healthcare or social security. There is simply no money for these projets in tough economic times. An Obama presidency won't be Democratic at all, just as the 2006 democratic Congress ended up being the all-time worst, according to Democrats themselves.

3. - AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY IN TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES WILL PURSUE STATUS QUO, NO MATTER WHO IS IN CHARGE With an economic crisis at home, Americans will be careful and will probably cherish the status quo abroad. Israel is ready to strike Iran. If Israel moves wisely, the Iranian threat could be destroyed, even with Obama at the White House.

4. - THE BEST WAY TO DESTROY DEMOCRATS IS TO LET AN UNEXPERIENCED, RADICAL LEFTIE RULE THE COUNTRY DURING A RECESSION American taxpayers will never forget an Obama presidency... and this will open a freeway for Republicans in the decades following 2012.

2. Well, he's right about one and two
This is not a good place for anybody to be, especially since only the Republicans can probably sneak by for six whole years by blaming their predecessor for all their problems. Obama won't get that free pass from the media.

I mean does anyone here think they're really acting like they want to win?

3. It will be difficult for Obama, and for the Democrats in Congress.
We will need to be an open book in everything that we do. And the risk of a one-term presidency despite actual success on the job is very real. However, this country can't afford to risk the possibility of McCain and/or Palin in the presidency.

If we let that happen, we might as well emigrate.

10. Translation:
Our guys put it so far into the ditch that neither Obama nor a team of wreckers is gonna get it back out in anything short of geological time, and Americans are too stupid to remember 4 years from now who caused the wreck in the first place.

21. Methinks, if that's the case, they doth misunderestimate
the esteemed Barack.

To put it bluntly, I think Obama is smarter than them. Like in a different league.

13. LOL they citing DU
"Assuming that Obama permits the 2012 elections to be held, of course. If this man is truly as dangerous as his associations suggest, he might just use the economic crisis to create a dictatorship.
Of course DU is already predicting (for the fourth time in the last 6 years) that martial law will be in place before the election or at least before the inauguration.
"

18. On the other hand
If Obama succeeds in restoring economic stability, and passing comprehensive health care reform, as well as ending the war in Iraq, saving the country more than a billion dollars in debt each year, then the GOP will be finished for decades to come. People will not forget that it was a democratic president who restored stability in America and a GOP president who nearly sunk us.

19. I look at it this way..
Crises can make or break a leader.

Instead of looking at this situation as something to avoid leading, I look at it as an opportunity to make this country better than ever.

20. Everything is bad news for Obama
Hell, imagine the how bad it will be for him when he wins his second term!

It will be a truly catastrophic turn of events for Obama when he sworn in AGAIN.
