I have heard that the joints and muscles of a drunk man are extraordinarily flexible and limber, Danny. I would really like to test out this … trait.

*Raises hand*

Google it!

I’m afraid to, but I am too curious not to.

Btw, you peeps should check out this video I found, by accident. Link

Near the end, I think you will get a lot of the same sense as what you got from Tiresias’ post.

See…another idiom. Who remembers that men removed their hats in the presence of their “betters”? or when approaching the gentry for favors? Heck…men hardly wear hats any more anyway!

I lean towards this view. However…as president, how will they pull strings? What’s left to control him? It’s not like they can threaten him – unless there’s something that could be used to impeach him…that could be interesting. But other than that, it seems to me that he now holds all the cards, and the Chicago Machine will be the ones coming to call with hats in hand.

As you say…we’ll see.

What a fantastic, awesome rant! I agree with every word of it and wish I could have written it.

We have one slim chance with Obama Know-Nothing: His extreme self-centeredness, his complete narcissism, may cause him to have only one goal: To be a successful president. There remains a slim possibility that he will jettison his entire life of far-left leanings in favor of whatever he sees that has the best chance of making him look good in posterity. If I’m correct about this slim hope, Obama would throw all the leftists under his bus – to reuse that tired cliche – and how they will howl and gnash their teeth. But if I’m right, Obama has never really given even a thought to them anyway, since they were just the means to his own totally-self-centered, purely-narcissistic goals.

We can still have at least slim hope, then. I’m not holding my breath however.

In truth, I lean toward what Danny has said in other comment areas: Obama is a puppet of the Chicago machine, who have groomed him for presentation and who control him. He’ll dance solely to their tune. We’ll see.

With President Obama, the nightmares of Civil Rights Era racism, segregation, separatism, and Jim Crow are over. Black America has almost unanimously embraced mulatto Barack Obama as one of their own, and tens of millions of whites are gaga over him. The notions that blacks cannot hold their own in competition with whites or that white Americans hold blacks down and keep them from succeeding have been utterly obliterated with Tuesday’s election results. As black comedienne Wanda Sykes said, “We can’t complain about ‘The Man’ when we is ‘The Man.’” Well put. Barack Obama’s winning the Presidency of the United States in a free election shows that we can now rid ourselves of the nightmare of Affirmative Action and racial quotas. No longer will less-qualified job applicants be hired because of race or ethnicity. Employers will once again be allowed to hire the best workers. Patients will never again have to worry that the person examining them and prescribing life-affecting treatment got into med school and became a doctor for any reason other than talent and ability.

Ymarsakar: You need to understand that the Obama Reconstitution will eliminate all of the racist, classist, sexist inequalities in society that spawn these unfortunate serialists.

1. Obama likes to disqualify his opponent based upon legal shenanigans and character assassinations (unsealing divorce records, for example). This is similar to how he decided to take on Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, for example.

2. Obama or simply his staff likes to sit back, with clean hands, while using cannon fodder (the Kos Wing) to do the dirty work. Obama didn’t solicit illegal donations, he just unlocked the fraud protection mechanisms on the donation credit card system…

3. Obama likes to wait until he knows where the wind is blowing (Kerry the wind surfer, except more charismatic). Obama will then take whatever side he thinks is more easily defended. When he opposed the Surge, it was when opposing the Surge was easy. When he supported the SUrge, it was after it was proven to have little risk of failing. This demonstrates Obama’s judgment, in that he can be consistently relied upon to “wait” until he knows which way benefits him. It also demonstrates that Obama does not care whose side he picks, which means he can also pick our side, if he thinks it is popular. But that won’t often be true. This does not demonstrate, however, which way Obama will go on any particular subject; Obama has no core principles here.

4. This either means Obama is ruthless like Pol Pot and Stalin or Obama is weak like Carter and McGovern. Either can be true, but not both. It depends on how much Obama shared with Ayers. Ayers is ideological while Obama may or may not be ideological (a true believer). If Obama is a true believer and his political judgments are calculated strategic choices, then America is in for big problems. If Obama is not a true believer and just a floater, then America will also be in for big problems, but not usually because of Obama’s goals. It will be because of the people around Obama, who attempt to destroy the US Constitution and strip us of our rights, while Obama sits around waiting to back whichever side he thinks will win (which, in this case, is usually the government).

Clinton, for example, was not ideological. He was a weak person who developed great charismatic abilities due to an abusive father. And he tended to abuse the office like his father abused alcohol: do whatever feels good, essentially.

What happened to killing serial rapists and serial murderers, Charles? We can’t be happy without that. I wouldn’t be, at least.
