He doesn't try to hide it, but he does try to fool the peeps with this or that populist rhetoric. <br /><br />Much of Mitch's critique of the Obama administration is spot on. The trouble is he has no better solution. At least he talks about "solutions" -- without specifics of course -- whereas Obama doesn't. <br /><br />Sigh.Ché Pasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926630891287949373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304235862479840318.post-19426447503037430252012-10-26T14:01:39.534-07:002012-10-26T14:01:39.534-07:00It is bo†h bizarre and depressing that the electio...It is bo†h bizarre and depressing that the election is so close.

If they tell him to take a fall, he will take a fall. If they tell him to soldier on, he will. <br /><br />To my mind, the election really isn't tied at all, never was. It was Obama's to lose, and with the first "debate" it looked like he'd been told to lose. <br /><br />Romney's got nothing but brash and bravado, but he'll do what he's told by his owners as well; besides, if they want him to win bad enough, they're going to steal the election outright. <br /><br />That's what I mean when I say that even if Obama wins resoundingly at the polls he might not take the Throne. If the Rs want it, they'll take it, and he will not fight back, won't even pretend to. But it's hard to imagine they'd want it so bad they'd install a cipher like Romney after the debacle with Bush the Lesser. Hard to imagine they'd go with The Lesser, but we all know Cheney was in charge, and the one they wanted. <br /><br />But <b>teri49</b>, I tend to agree with you that this could well be the last presidential election in the traditional sense. I think we'll continue to go through the motions, but I doubt they'll mean much. And everybody will know they don't mean much.Ché Pasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926630891287949373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304235862479840318.post-60419588787458152132012-10-25T02:22:13.342-07:002012-10-25T02:22:13.342-07:00Ah, maybe this'll be the election where they w...Ah, maybe this'll be the election where they whip out the old martial law plan. It's "too close to call", people get upset, recounts are demanded, Continuity of Gov't goes into force. (Or gets acted on - it's already in force, just not with all the aspects in play.)<br />Whatever, I'm pretty sure that there will not be an election in '16 - we are seeing the last one.<br /><br />But I am curious, Che - why do you say Oblahblah won't take office? I don't think he gives a shit if he wins or loses, but assuming he wins, why would he not accept the throne?<br /><br />-Teriteri49noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304235862479840318.post-12185137321762617362012-10-24T14:14:17.211-07:002012-10-24T14:14:17.211-07:00President Barack Obama laid out an astoundingly am...<i>President Barack Obama laid out an astoundingly ambitious second-term agenda in an interview published Wednesday, vowing to forge a "grand bargain" with Republicans to reduce the national debt and achieve comprehensive immigration reform—all in 2013.<br />"It will probably be messy. It won't be pleasant," Obama told the Des Moines Register's publisher and its editor by telephone.

I think it's already been determined as well. But I think Obama gets the nod for another four years. I guess if they put Romney in there it might speed along the collapse. One can hope at least.Pathmannoreply@blogger.com
