DOOM ANTIDOTE: Evidence that Democrats are in “Last Days of Pompeii” mode — 10/13/2012
[Note: skip to the 1:02:00 mark to see a more or less historically accurate interpretation of what’s going to happen to Democrats on November 6th, 2012 ]
When I was a kid, ABC played a miniseries called “The Last Days of Pompeii” that my grandmother and I watched together; she loved disaster movies from the 70s and 80s because she enjoyed pointing out how stupid most of the people were because they didn’t know the plane was going to crash, the skyscraper catch fire, or the volcano was set to erupt. I don’t remember my grandmother ever using any expletives and she rarely said a bad word about anyone…but the people in these movies who didn’t see the disaster coming were either “ninnies” or “dummies”, and my grandmother would spot and identify them for me like we were out birdwatching. “Look at that one, stupid ninny,” she’d say, “look at how stupid he is, he doesn’t know the volcano’s going to level the place. How can he not know that?”.
Well, in that person’s defense, he didn’t have a TV Guide back then…or knowledge that he’d one day be a character in a movie called ‘The Last Days of Pompeii”; no doubt he assumed there’d never be a “last day” for Pompeii. If I remember correctly, in that movie an oracle actually assured people that Pompeii would still stand and be known throughout the world long after the Roman Empire itself had collapsed into ruins…which the Pompeiians took as a sign that their days of wine and roses would never come to an end. Ancient prophesies had a funny way of ending up like “twists” in an M. Night Shamylan film (remember him?).
This is how Democrats felt in 2008, with Howard Dean and Donna Brazile convincing them that they could dominate the country demographically by streamlining the party into one of “blacks, urban elite, college voters, Jews, Muslims, gays, and women who want to kill their babies”. The Clintons’ Democrat Leadership Council (a “DLC”, but not the one that Barack Obama belonged to) would be purged from the party and anyone Obama saw as “bitter, clinging” would be shown the door because Donna Brazile, in particular, felt these people were no longer wanted or needed for Democrats to win. Brazile, it should be noted, is also the rocket scientist who advised Al Gore not to use the Clintons in the 2000 election when Bill wanted to be deployed to bring home Arkansas and Tennessee for Gore (two states Gore lost…which would have landed him in the White House if the Clintons had campaigned aggressively in just those TWO STATES).
For most of the last four years now, the Ministry of Truth (Minitru for short) that is the national media has been trumpeting a “Golden Age of Hope and Change” with Democrats remaining in power essentially “forever” because “demographics are on their side!”. This is similar to how others in history have declared their inevitable holds on power were destined to last generations…when in actuality these totalitarians have tended to collapse within just a few years of gaining a stranglehold on their countries in the modern era.
Democrats were absolute fools to believe Donna Brazile and Howard Dean back in 2008. Deciding to push Barack Obama to the presidency and give the Left absolute control over the country was a fatal error that’s going to be corrected on November 6th. Minitru insists this is not happening, and continues to pretend that Democrats will hold power for many years to come. The volcano is rumbling, and these people are still lounging on couches and eating their grapes, completely oblivious to what’s going to happen in just three weeks now.
They are ninnies, as my grandmother would have called them…and tragically stupid as I’ll put it. If they’d have run Hillary Clinton in 2008, then Democrats would have cruised to her re-election this year; Obama would have most likely been her VP and he’d have spent 8 years in the Naval Observatory (most likely observing his own naval) and would have been setup to be president himself in 2016. Democrats would have likely had 12 years in the Oval Office, with Obama destined to be president no matter what (sadly). The Left wanted everything all at once, and it got just four years before the country woke up and booted them out of office (hopefully for generations).
So, it appears we are the beneficiaries of a very interesting historic twist ending to our recent national nightmare. As bad as things are, and as much damage as Barack Obama has done as president, just imagine how much worse things could have been if Democrats had moved slowly and done things under the radar over 12 years instead of trying to cram it all into four years of Obama. Democrats got greedy and wanted Obama to do all the crazy things upfront, thinking they could overpower Americans and force radical change on the country quickly before anyone could resist them. Donna Brazile, in particular, believed that a black president was key to pushing the Left’s agenda because all criticism of him would be countered with charges of — let’s see if you can guess — RACISM so his skin color would give cover for the craziest things Democrats wanted to do.
There’s speculation here in Chicago that Obama couldn’t wait until 2016 for health reasons. Most people on the ground here think Obama has “The Slims”, and that his health will have deteriorated to the point that by 2016 he’d be a gaunt, walking skeleton with all the telltale signs of depending on daily anti-viral cocktails. Others — like me personally — believe Obama has Parkinsons and this, too, would have been far too obvious by 2016 for him to win a national election. He’s already disoriented, bewildered in public, and unable to function on even a basic level without a TelePrompTer. He’s either got “The Slims” or Parkinsons or a serious narcotics addiction…so the man who is the current president of the United States is either sick or a junkie and Democrats needed him in office as quickly as possible (so, Hillary be damned).
Did we actually catch a massive break as a country that Democrats were forced to implement their planned Obama presidency too quickly…pushing the button on this insanity in 2008 instead of 2016 because Obama wouldn’t be healthy enough to do this eight years later?
When the books are written on the last four years, I think it will be clear that most of what Democrats tried to shove through couldn’t have been done if the President was white…because racialist demagoguery was key to making a lot of these things happen. From 2008 through 2010 or so, it was nonstop screams of “If you don’t support Obama, you are a racist!”. Democrats who weren’t leftists (and there used to be some of these in the party) had to go along with whatever Obama wanted because they, too, would have been declared racists for not supporting him. Hence, that Christmas Eve 2009 vote for Obamacare in the Senate where not a single Democrat read the bill or understood what it would do to the country…but they all voted for it anyway. Democrats needed a black president to make that happen, because only the threat of being called racists could make all Democrats in the Senate abandon their constituents and their duties as elected officials and vote for something they never read and didn’t understand.
At the time, Democrats danced around laughing and cheering at what they had done.
They weren’t cheering when the Midterm elections happened in 2010, however.
And they won’t be cheering in three weeks either.
The days of wine, roses, and using false accusations of racism to get whatever they want are coming to an abrupt end when voters’ anger at the party erupts on November 6th.
‘Those ninnies…those dummiess…are all getting what they deserve,” is what I imagine my grandmother would have said. She was a lifelong Democrat who had photos of John F. Kennedy on her walls, but like Kennedy himself she would not have recognized the Democrat Party of today and would have probably switched to being a Republican at this point…much like her grandson (that’s me) did during the “Golden Age of Hope and Change” as well.

“Democrats needed a black president to make that happen, because only the threat of being called racists could make all Democrats in the Senate abandon their constituents and their duties as elected officials and vote for something they never read and didn’t understand.”
Kevin, are they that much of a bunch of ninnies? Where are their backbones that being called racist would wound them so? I mean every mother has said to every kid “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me”. It never made any sense to me.
I have to wonder if there wasn’t something more involved.
They’re morally corrupt. Rotten from the inside out. Like the shell of a tooth that looks beautiful and perfect and strong until the person bites into a piece of toast and the tooth breaks, revealing nothing but black, stinking decay inside.
People who are morally corrupt are also likely to be physically weak, lazy, and inordinately fearful. They’ve been so castrated by what passes for “popular culture” that the very thought of violating the holy dogma of political correctness terrifies them as much as the thought of going into actual physical battle did in the old days.
The last several years of being “politically correct” in every aspect of life is coming to an abrupt end. It will be an ugly but refreshing process for many
The mere thought of political correctness going down the tubes makes me want to do a couple cartwheels.
I’m going to say this again. Shhhhhh… Let them have their last days of eating grapes on the couch and golfing. I don’t want them to be alarmed until it’s too late.
I agree that a lot of things wouldn’t be so bad if Hilary had been elected. The economy for one. On the other hand, you would still be a democrat.
I would have still been a Democrat under Hillary.
And I would probably have been an opponent and not an ally to a lot of people who are now friends.
It’s strange to think about that.
Obama has opened up a lot of people’s eyes, so maybe we should be grateful for that. Moderate Democrats had no idea of how powerful the radical left had become and how far along they are in accomplishing their agenda. Chicago is a textbook example of overwhelming the system to the point of collapse. The city is technically bankrupt, dying a slow death by a thousand cuts. You create layers of government so complex, it can never reform itself. Look at the public schools there. The unions are turning the system into Detroit, and nobody can stop it.
Is it a coincidence that Christine LeGard of the IMF has strong ties to Chicago? We’re seeing the same scenario playing out in Europe, and the solutions offered up to all of these problems by the left is the consolidation of more power in their hands.
That is what I hope for too — that this man was allowed to become president to open our eyes to see how far gone this nation is, and also hope and pray that it’s not too late to turn things around.
Great analysis Kevin and no one provides the off beat perspective that you do. I do think Obama either has the “slims” or something else. The poor people of Pompei really had nowhere to go. These idiots keep cheering evil idiot Biden as he demeans the VP and America.
I am curious about your Hillary feelings at this point. I thought you had written her off. I had hoped the Dem party voters would have punished Obama for how his campaign thugged Hillary and her supporters.
McCain was a poor choice but I was suprised that Obam was elected. I think you are one of the few who picked up that the market meltdown in 2008 was orchestrated by Soros and other hedge fund managers. Rahm, Gorelnick, Rubin, Raines, Stan O’Neil, Sandlers and others worked to fill Fannie, Freeddie, Merrill, World Savings, et al with bad mortgages then pull the pin.
The Clintons bided their time because they needed the black vote. Hillary and Bill have enabled Obama. I am curious if you still want Hillary. I think Obama has thrown her under the bus. The Clintons in my book at this point are no better than Obama.
Has anyone noticed that Obama has pulled his web site banner ads? They have disappeared. The new tack the news media is taking is – if Romney wins there will be riots. They are setting us up for that.
Wow: At 1:05:00 Lord Larry Olivier himself. I may watch this film. Thanks Kevin. AFAIK – Lawrence Olivier only got a knighthood (Sir) and not a lordship.
No, he was awarded a barony in 1970, which surprised me because I thought it came a lot later in life. He hated the title, though and preferred to be called Larry Olivier.
Yes! Over the past few days, I realized that the banner ads were gone; at first, I thought they were cutting budgets or redeploying elsewhere. But, then I concluded that the banners were designed to drive online voter registration. Since the deadlines have passed for that in all states, they’re done. I’ve spent my career in marketing, and both campaigns have savvy tactical professionals making their media decisions. The R/R banner ads appear to drive viewers to online ads – and have for several months.
There are not going to be riots. There isn’t that much love for Obama and if anyone decides to get “jiggy” with it they will be a handful. I don’t think we should worry about riots. Just Drudge trying to get people all worked up and worried…AGAIN.
I just read a little saying and it seems to coincide nicely with your sentiment: “Sometimes your plans don’t work out because God has better ones.”
He has a sense of humor, too, as well as a knack for the surprise plot twist.
Very strange indeed, and how utterly fascinating! I am so grateful it has brought you to us, Kevin! You have done so much to influence so many. I truly hope you feel you are living the much BETTER LIFE. Oh, and btw…would you have met Justin had you continued as a Lefty??
I second what Brenda says. Through the horrible last 4+ years, the terrible actions of the gov/media/o admin have brought a lot of people together who might not have if o hadn’t been elected. I stumbled onto your site years ago, and while I don’t post often, I read your blog voraciously and the great comments that follow. I am so happy to have found you, and I just want to say THANK YOU for all that you have and are doing for us and for our beloved America. I hope someday circumstances will arise that will allow our paths to cross, and if they do, I am going to give you a big hug and say THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE to our country. YOU ROCK KEVIN!!!
I received my education about Hillary from Barbara Olson, Ted Olson’s wife. She wrote the book, “Hell to Pay”, also died in airplane that flew into pentagon on 9/11. By your positive comments, I am relooking at Hillary. By the way, just discovered your site and now it is a “must read”. You seem to have so much sense and I am fascinated that we have a gay president and yet the news is not “out there”. How can this be?
Your devotion to Hillary and admiration for Sarah is a testament to you intellectual honesty and integrity – how refreshing you are!!
I just found your site last week and have consumed your pages since. I thought I was “well read politically” but have missed so much not reading and getting to know your family before.
An open arms welcome to the “other side”. God bless you, your sweet boyfriend, and his hysterical mother!
Absolutely. I want the polls to show the race being close until election eve when the corrupt media has to start calling another state for Romney. Sweet revenge!!
What a cast. Ned Beaty is hilarious. He must have attended the Muppet School of Drama. Sir Lawrence Olivier was a surprise. Did not see his name in the credits. The hair do’s are fun…lots of curls. Thanks for the video. And, I agree that the Dems are in for a big surprise..the Ninnies:)
I looked at Lawrence Olivier’s credits on Wiki and this film is not mentioned. He was sick towards the end of his life and took movies to make money to provide for his family. I think this may have been one of his last roles. Great actor.
I didn’t see it coming at first. All Obama had to do was pretty much nothing, and the recovery would have taken place, thanks to hope and change. He could have maybe pushed through a small, targeted stimulis, done some sensible cuts and the man would have been on MT. Rushmore. The cherry on top was the killing of Osama. He could have been modestly gracious, inviting Bush to be there not long after the announcement, pretending to share the lime light. He could have played the part of the seasoned Bishop granting absolution to the young, wayward priest. After that, who could have opposed a sensible healthcare bill or anything else for that matter??
But no. Obama did everything a President shouldn’t do during a delicate recovery. He ran around the country trashing business, ran up the debt, kept business people off balance by pushing through a healthcare bill we still can’t calculate what the costs will be. He played the politics of divisiveness when it wasn’t called for. Oh yeah, there’s that financial cliff we’re headed for because Obama couldn’t take any of it seriously.
In short, the man has been about as delicate as a bull in a China shop and for no good reason that I can see. Is it by design? I don’t know. I don’t think we’ll know in our lifetime. We’ll have to wait for a historian in the distant future to write honestly about The One.
It is undoubtedly by design – probably Soros’ design.
Absolutely by design. Agenda 21. We are slouching toward a global dictatorship which begins with crippling debt. Agenda 21 is a NAZI Agenda and George H. Bush was the first to sign on to it. I would have becaome a republican much sooner if the Bush cartel had not been in charge for so long. Support the Tea Party and let people know you are proud of them and proud of America. American soverngty is at risk. The European nations have already foolishly surrendered their sovergnty and look what a mess the EU is. he leftist movement is global and remember ACORN split up and became “Community Organizers International.” They are working for the big banks and will insure that the people are enslaved by them.
WTO has been doing this to the third world for decades. Now the global bankers want the industrial nations to be on their knees as well.
This is an outstanding comment! I think you’re correct on all of this.
However, I don’t think he has America’s best interest in mind. I think he was more interested in destroying America through borrowing, spending, taxing, and regulating. To overthrow capitalism, he needed a way to deconstruct it brick by brick.
He is just a big government socialist red commie, I am pretty sure the majority of the party feels the same way too.
This is not our father’s Democrat party.
They certainly are NOT our fathers’ Democrats and that is another reason that they should NEVER BE CALLED LIBERALS. A liberal would ardently defend the freedom of speech. These leftists attack it. A liberal would ardently defend our right to privacy. These leftists put drones in the sky to spy on us. Our fathers’ Democrats were liberals. Today’s Democrats are Old Country leftists and need to be kicked the fudgenuts back to Europe.
Yes, people need to research the meaning of a classical liberal. A good example of a classical liberal is Adam Smith – “The Wealth of Nations”.
John Maynard Keynes was more of a classical liberal than he was anything else…. but then he also was involved at one point in the Fabian Society. However Keynes was NEVER a Marxist.
A classical liberal defends capitalism and does not trash it. A Marxist wants monopoly situations.
What a great and informative site. While at a conference with some
friends Obama came on the tv and I tend to turn the channel when he comes on primarily because I really find constant lying hard to bear.
However I was instantly struck by his loss of weight and also what
appeared to be a change in the texture of the hair and a change
to the bridge of the nose. Since we were all Health professionals I asked others if they noticed a change and after about 3 minutes one
person said, Good God, he looks like he’s second stage AIDS, or
something just as bad. The change if you haven’t closely looked at him
in a while is startling in so young a man. Others reached the same
consensus but pointed out that serious drug use could do the same.
To me he looks very sick. It would be interesting to know what was
present in his History and Physical prior to running for the Presidency.
Love your writing and perspective Kevin. My state-North Carolina- swung bigtime for King Putt in 2008 and we elected a corrupt, incompetent, Dem Governor Bev Perdue. Oh, how things have changed! Bev announced a year ago she wasn’t running again and she is trying to skate out of office ahead of indictment.
The Dems were very foolish to have their convention in Charlotte, as 10% unemployment and a complete collapse of the housing and construction markets didn’t endear Dems to NC voters. Of course Obama will still have the black vote and the university vote, but there is little enthusiasm for more of the same destructive policies. There is NO WAY Obama will carry NC this time and we will also have a Republican Governor. May November 6 be a tsunami nationally for Romney/Ryan!
Amen from Eastern NC.
Amen again from Charlotte. No way NC goes blue this time. Don’t forget the $10M line of credit from Duke Energy that the DNC used to pay convention costs. Duke customers will be the ones taking the hit for that when the DNC bails on their obligation.
Just had to add I LOVED The Last Days Of Pompeii way back when. What fun cheesy tee vee memories the mention of it brought back.
North of Charlotte and out in the back of beyond, I agree with my fellow tarheels with one exception. Obama came out on the heels of the vote against same sex marriage and called its detractors bigots. The largest voting bloc against it was conservative black ministries who spent a lot of time and money canvassing against it. I have very nice black neighbors who had a huge Obama sign on their lawn in 08. Nothing there now. Also the feeling is that Obama has had plenty of time to ‘do something’ about black unemployment which is very high in NC; with the largest black population of any swing state, it also has the highest black unemployment. So that’s why Suffolk has stopped polling here and says NC is a lock for Romney. An erosion of working class whites and religiously conservative blacks will cost Obama this state by at least six points.
Today driving through my neck of the woods there has been an explosion of signs. R/R everywhere and one FIRE OBAMA. Not a single Obama sign.
In addition, for the first time in over a century, NC will have a R Governor and an R Legislature. Let’s see if we can get voter ID.
don’t forget to get out the vote for judge newby. it won’t matter that we have an R governor and legislature if the state supreme court swings left; which it absolutely will do if judge newby is not re-elected…
i live in durham (49% caucasian/48% black/2% hispanic… or thereabouts) and i see very little obama signage this year compared to 2008…. most of my black neighbors are disgusted with obama… it’s only the duke/unc faculty contingency that’s still for him.
What else could you expect from the left wing obligitory crowd……
Drove from Globe, Arizona, to Phoenix yesterday, about 100 miles and 3 counties. On the way we saw 2 Romney posters, 1 Obama bumper sticker, 1 anti-Obama bumper sticker and some posters for state and local races. Most of the candidates didn’t include their party affiliation. Most comments I’ve heard are about the negative campaigning. Although folks aren’t enthusiastic about Mitt Romney, on the plus side most don’t want Obama again.
The Democrats will be getting their comeuppance.
I have to say, though, that the lefties are making their move now. A lot of astroturfers are out, trying to snatch victory at the end by having their fake passion affect the independents and undecideds and sway them at the end. Similar to how the left laid low on ObamaCare once it started to be seriously opposed, but then they snuck it in at the end with that holiday vote.
We need to double up our energy now and finish strong and match and exceed their energy.
One thing a friend of mine told me about that I thought was a good idea was to have someone make up a bunch of “Remember Libya 9/11/12″ t-shirts and then have people wear them to all of Mitt’s events. Make sure they get in all of the camera shots; have them standing on the stage behind Mitt, etc. That drum needs to be beaten into the ground in the next 3 weeks.
I think Pennsylvania is in play. As you noted before, Kevin, I think it will come down to Philly. Part of the emotional gin-up that is taking place now, from what I have seen, is aimed at the black community. Obama needs that vote, particularly in Pennsylvania.
Western Pennsylvania is not Obama territory. There will be some people in Pittsburgh, of course, but the rest of the bitter clingers there are not going to want to vote for Obama again. So it will come down to the margin in Philly.
Great idea, thanks for passing it along! Remember Libya 9/11/12
Regarding Philly. Micheal Nutter Democrat mayor of Philly was the only democrat I voted for in 2010. I was a life long democrat before 2008. I voted for all other republicans in 2010 but I thought Nutter handled the young black flash mobs appropriately and also I respected him for having the courage to support Hillary in the 2008 primary while the democrackers were calling him horrible racist names like House Negro and such.
Well a few months ago Micheal Nutter being the benevolent democrat he is, ban the Catholic church The Basilica of Staints Peter and Paul from hading out food to the hunger next to their church. I often drove by the church which is located in a high traffic area with mostly commercial real estate. The hungrey would line up in an orgnized mannor to accept the food the Catholic Church provided for them. I never heard a single center city Philadelphia comlain about this. But Nutter said it was unfair to residents who lived near by.
Bull Shit! Micheal Nutter is just another Marxist democrap who wants people to have no wear to turn other than the government or help.
The hungrey in center city Philly didn’t have to fill out endless documents and wait for their welfare applications to be accepted. They could be the working poor or people living on the streets. They could just show up next the the Baslica and be provided with food by the priest. Nutter put an end to that. Most of the people I had seen waiting to be feed by the church in the past were black. In fact they were the over whelming majority. I hope that they will learn that they would do much better to trust the church than any hypocrit democrap who would put an end to a charitable program because they hate Christianity.
The New Media animators and the VP debate – I wonder if they read HillBuzz too?

Just like Carter gave us Reagan Obama will give us Romney. The left always overplays their hand and the country reverts back to it’s roots.
I don’t know what is wrong with us. We flirt with leftism once every generation and then we realize with horror the awfulness that it truly is. You would think we would have learned by now.
Oh and you asked about states Kevin. I’m in Georgia and R/R will win by at least 10, probably more like 15.
Thanks for all that you do.
I would disagree that Clinton could have won TN for Gore. We just know him too well here, and he is despised. He’s a punchline joke around Nashville, but that didn’t stop plenty of people for voting for him around the nation. Like Obama, nobody knew who the real Al Gore was, but he had the same addiction issues, plus some issues with women that came out later.
When Gore’s power bill was leaked to the media, he had a geothermal unit installed at his mansion, but in order to install it, they had to cut down some oak trees that were hundreds of years old. So much for going green.
Roger Simon at the Chicago Red-Sun-Times just wrote biggest tub of hooey on Biden’s debate performance.
Skip the article – It’s Roger’s declaration of love for Biden.
You MUST read the comments they are overwhelmingly critical of both Biden and Simon.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/15710647-452/joltin-joe-knocks-ryan-out-of-the-park.html
I went and left comment under the name YoJoLo. I used a rarely used e-mail address to register. The comments are running about 8-9 to 1 for Ryan winning the debate. Thought I’d throw my 2-cents in there as well.
Kevin,
If Obama had Parkinsons, wouldn’t there be seem sort of shaking or tremors going on? Even mild symptoms? I think he does not look well, but I believe there is something else going on with him.
As Kevin pointed out, when one is President, one has access to drugs that may suppress these symptoms.
Kevin, great article as always. I have a question, does “open thread” mean we can post anything we want or only pertaining to your article?
If it is the former, I’d love to hear your predictions of what you think Romney/Ryan will set out to do once established in the White House, i.e. start the process of becoming energy independent, repealing Obamacare, etc.
Also, I hope to hear your suggestions on how to “market” Romney on sites like FB and Twitter.
P.S. Also I’d like to suggest to your viewers to donate to Hillbuzz. It costs money to run sites like this and Kevin has gone over and above the call of duty for the “cause”. I’m sure he’s experiencing alot of abuse from leftists behind the scenes. We should ALL be helping him financially, yes?
Another suggestion to support Hillbuzz: order a copy of 2016 and The Hope And The Change through the link in the sidebar above. I’m having them sent to a relative in a swing state. She’s a Democrat, but she’s the kind of patriotic old school Democrat the current party has left far behind. 2016 ships on Tuesday, but you can pre-order now.
Do you know anyone persuadable who lives in a swing or blue state?
As you requested, my “report” of my impression from my little corner of Northern Virginia. I see the occasional Obama/Biden lawn sign or bumper sticker, maybe 5 or 6 total in the last 30 days. But I’m seeing more and more Romney/Ryan signs and bumper stickers as the days go on, maybe 15-20 in the last 30 days. Again, this is all from my little N.Va. neighborhood, but I think it may be a local sign of the “Preference Cascade” that Glenn Reynolds has posited for a while now.
It’s amazing to me how different people are talking about Obama here in Cali. (don’t get me wrong, it’s going for O) . 90% of the people I work with are voting against him, unlike 08 when 90% voted for him. Yes…..I do hear the rumblings…….3 more weeks!!
Things are a bit different here in CA regarding obama but you are right, the state will go for for the Donk. Lefties are the sort that when finding themselves stuck in a hole they have dug, their solution is to dig faster.
You are correct about California where the two great rivers of Denial and Delusion run wide and deep. Absent serious fiscal calamity which will happen if and when the State absolutely cannot avoid bankruptcy, I don’t see the state’s voters changing the direction of this state.
I think everyone is in for a bit of a surprise when the votes are counted in CA. Could be the upset of the night!
Love your thoughts about what 2008 thru 2020 could have been for Dems. But O thought he was so cool and ready for presidency that he went around the right way to do it. Mainly get a little experience before you become pres of US. I do give Hillary a lot of credit for doing the job she has w him. Must have been really hard to put it behind her. But I’m mad at Bill for coming out to help O. when he didnt’ really want to.
As for Montclair, NJ where I live they think they are going to win still and it is all bullying. But I still don’t see any bumper stickers or lawn signs. Love it.
My husband was born there
I can’t wait until the stories start leaking out. Maybe Woodward and other investigative reporters will wake up and realize there is some serious materia from the past 4 years. I’ll only be thankful that they were obvious about their agenda if Romney is able to undo the damage, MSM & Lefty outrage be d@mned!.
Just had an OFA dude canvassing the neighborhood, verifying that people are registered and planning to vote. I told him I was definitely voting & that I had already decided – at which point my son piped in “We’re voting for Romney!” I’m just happy he didn’t tell him what he usually says when an Obama ad comes on – “Obama sucks!” (only because it’s rude, not because it’s untrue).
The OFA dude looked tired and unenthusiastic. I’m guessing that he’s been rebuffed many times before, despite this being a Lefty city (Denver).
Same thing has happened to me here in Milwaukee, we are getting hit with Obamabots weekly at our door.
I keep telling them that they are wasting their time by trying to convince me to vote for Obama again. My wife and I fell for the hopeychangy stuff last time around and thanks to President Obama we are life long conservatives now.
These Obamabots are really annoying though. They don’t seem to like being questioned about the president or having to face any facts. They are deflated and absolutely must hate doing their jobs.
Did you ask him if he had a faded “Hope” poster in his bedroom?
The guy was in his mid-to-late 40’s – old enough to know better!
On a side note, the daughter of my mom’s uber-Lefty friend started college this year. In one of her classes the professor kicked off a discussion on the myriad of media sources today & how difficult it is to get the facts. He asked students who they rely on for truthful news and the daughter’s new college friend said….Rush Limbaugh! Daughter freaked out, not only because she assumed her new friend was a Lefty like her, but because other students – and the professor – agreed that Rush does his homework and distills the pertinent facts in addition to providing his opinion. Daughter is starting to realize she may have been sheltered. Now THAT gives me hope for the Millennial generation.
In his parent’s house, right? LOL
Obama has a dilemma named Jesse Jackson Jr.
http://illinoispaytoplay.com/2012/10/13/j-j-jr-and-the-continuing-implosion-of-a-congressional-career/
Jesse Jr. may be another “Dan Rostenkowski” moment. I’ll admit, it is less likely in this situation, but the more bizarre the situation become, the more likely his Republican opponent has a chance. .
Who the h*ll gets to go to substance abuse clinic, hide out at home and still get paid by Congress? These “representatives” of the people are criminals. Jesse Jr. is trying to hide his criminal behavior with fake health issues.
I have no doubt that the Dems know what’s about to happen ; They’re putting on the acting job of the century to keep the truth from coming out. However, I do think that the average Democrat voter is going to be hit like a ton of bricks on November 6th
Hubby reports he saw his very first Romney bumper sticker. He says the sticker said “I’m Catholic and I vote” and then underneath, “Romney”
Now he wants that bumper sticker!
I am also from Colorado, up North in Fort Collins. I wrote a comment a couple of days ago that there were still plenty of Obama sings, but this week alone, a flurry of Romney signs came out everywhere. Around the university it is primarily Obama, but Romney signs definitely out number Obama signs now. My neighborhood alone put up six new Romney signs this week, no Obama signs. In 2008 the whole city was blanketed in Obama. I think Romney will definitely take Colorado now!
I have a friend that left the Republican Party in 2008 because she drunk the hopey change koolaid! I am still constantly surprised that she is as drunk as ever on the koolaid. Like the people in Pompeii!
By the way, Obama has come, himself, to my city twice, and I think my city stil might go for Romney. In 2008, 50,000 came to see him. Last month, 5,000. That’s hope and change I believe in!
Kevin, can you give us an eeyore thread so we can all get out all the stuff we are seeing and worrying about while trying desperately to keep up a great front. All of us read stuff, see stuff, hear stuff in a lot of different places. Sometimes you just want to share it with everyone but you can’t cause then you are an eeyore. Just like it’s so tough to use the appropriate language ie, using leftie and site and writer, it also tough not to occasionally suffer a massive panic when information comes your way and you want to know if it’s bravado or possibly true.
Get a journal. Write down all the things that worry you. Throw it away If you prefer to type, open a blank Word document. Type them all out. Then delete it.
Whatever you do, do not put them on the internet where they can demoralize others.
Or phrase it as a question — “I’m seeing such-and-such being posted, can you all give me some suggestions on how to handle it?”
i am a closet eeeyore but then i come from massachusetts which is hopelessly liberal and supports people merely for the D next to their name. My biggest concern is voter fraud. Not only with the democrats and their voting dead or multiple mail in registering but more serious is that SCYTL, a the spanish company that will tabulate the votes.The only american involved is the ceo Pere Valles who has his roots in Chicago. From what i understand, Obama and the congress outsourcedit to this company. I do not read about this much and it concerns me greatly.There will be no paper trail to question, recount or dispute the results.
Michelle Malkin debunked that story about the Spanish Company tabulating the votes. It’s nothing to worry about. She laid out the facts and it convinced me.
Without having read the Michelle Malkin debunking (does anyone have a link??), I would speculate that votes are tabulated on a state level and each state sets up its own procedures within certain federal guidelines. So, it’s probably not a monolithic thing where one company controls all tabulations.
Our voting machines have you count the votes as soon as the doors are locked. With three machines it takes about 5 minutes. With 5 it takes about 10. The results are called into the registrar and then we spend about an hour doing the paperwork that each machine generates plus any votes that are sealed and need to be researched. An unofficial count goes to the county offices and they report to the state. I would assume that most machines work that way.
I could never figure out why they would send the votes even electronically to another place when the machines count them and then give you a hard copy right on the spot. Once you understand how it all works the stories of fraud make no sense. I can see that most of it occurs when the poll workers get a little too happy to help you vote, but that is what poll watchers are for. There is always the possiblilty that someone on the computer end could go haywire and “fix” the voting machines, but even then it would be noticed at the polls when the machinese are set up.
There is voter fraud and it needs to be stopped where ever it is found, but once you know the drill it is pretty difficult to do unless you are a complete nut case and mean harm to your fellow citizens.
I live on a small island, a 30 minute ferry ride from Seattle that in 2008 was wallpapered with Obama signs and bumperstickers…obviously WA State will go for Obama barring a seismic miracle but this time there are virtually no bumper stickers or yard signs and 2 days ago, right on the mains street in front of the grocery store were Impeach Obama signs and people were driving by and honking in support and signing a petition. There were a few dirty looks from passers by but this is amazing in light of four years ago.

Yeah, I live in Washington state outside of Gig Harbor and I have seen one old Obama 2008 bumper sticker, two Obama/Biden 2012 bumper stickers, and Wednesday I saw a car with a RR 2012 bumper sticker. I honked at him twice and gave him a thumbs up as I drove by.
I drive 80 miles round trip to work three times a week so I find the low count of Obama/Biden bumper stickers heartening BUT this state has no chance to go anything but blue. It is really depressing and I wished I lived in a state where my vote really did count.
Besides probable substance abuse, O looks physically wrung out because the clock is ticking, and he hasn’t fulfilled the wishes of his evil puppeteer, Soros. He’s not tearing us down fast enough or converting the masses. He’s pedaling his mom bike as fast as he can and losing ground. heh heh
After nearly 55 years living in California we moved to the most southertly town in Nevada, Laughlin. The town is dependent economically on tourism & affluent former Californian retiree residents.
The economic disaster that is California means Laughlin is hurting though the local real estate market seems to be coming back as California’s Moonbeam pushes for higher taxes. Threats of even more taxes are sending more well-heeled retiree tax refugees our way.
HarryReid recently dumped a low income housing project on our town bringing in a host of the gimme crowd. Other than that gimme army the locals lloathe both Ovomit & Reid who opposes.by way of Clark County any new development in the town.
As always, great article and great example Kevin! I agree, I think that the democrats are the people of Pompeii for the last 4 years. I think Obama and his minions have gotten all caught up in their own hubris, eating grapes as you say, LOL! But I feel that they are panicking now, they are realizing, and I think it was the last debate Obama had with Romney, I think that these democrats are now panicking and trying to figure out what to do. I think they are trying to pull from their old bag of tricks, but we the people have woken up, and we are NOT buying what they are selling anymore! I predict Romney will take Florida, and that he will win. The more the democrats attack and claim “racism”, the more they are showing their fear and panic. My mom says that she feels Obama doesn’t even want to be re-elected. After his last debate performance, I think she may be right.
I don’t think it’s so much that Obama doesn’t want to be re-elected as that he doesn’t care one way or the other. Remember, all the money contributed directly to Obama is his to keep, after payment of taxes. He’s not sharing it with other Dems and is, in fact, raiding Dem funds to pay for his campaign. If he loses, he’ll retire in splendor to Hawaii, his pockets stuffed with voters’ cash.
Penny Pritzker can stand down. Barry-O will be able to afford to pay cash for that palace himself.
“Others — like me personally — believe Obama has Parkinsons and this, too, would have been far too obvious by 2016 for him to win a national election. He’s already disoriented, bewildered in public, and unable to function on even a basic level without a TelePrompTer. ”
That sounds more like other dementias. Maybe Alzheimer’s or some form of it. I just don’t see the Parky behavior. Someone with Alzy gets slim and gaunt too. As I have said before, my dad had both, my mom had Parkinson’s. I was visiting once and after being there a week he introduced me as his wifes sister. I then told him who I was and he said, “Oh! I was wondering who you were!” My mother, however, was sharp as a tack at the end.
Kevin, I have to agree with Michigander and also tell you that if Hillary had won, we wouldn’t have your site to read (of which makes me feel better by the day). My gay conservative brother told me a few years back that thankfully Obama won, simply because the progressives (including both Hillary and McCain) were planning to send us down this current path, but we would have stayed “asleep” because it wouldn’t have been on the fast-track it is now. Because of the speed at which the Obama Administration moved, the sleepers have been awakened and don’t like what they see. I have two friends (ages 44 and 54) that have never voted and this year they are registered and planning to vote, and it’s not for Obama.
Again, thanks for your insight and commentaries, Kevin! And may God keep you safe, since you’re in the belly of the beast.
I am sorry to say that I am a closet eeyore however coming from Massachusetts it is very difficult not to be. People who are seemingly intelligent and “well educated” embrace the liberal viewpoint like sheeples.
I am concerned about the process of voting that the government under Obama and the congress have adopted. They have outsourced the tabulating to a spanish company. There will be no way to recount or dispute the results. the only employed by the company is the ceo whose roots are from chicago. I do not understand why more are not questioning this.
See the post a couple above yours. That meme has been debunked by Michele Malkin. I’ve seen it debunked in other places too.

I love these Doom Antidotes and thank you Kevin for writing them! I was just thinking how much Teh Won has changed this country and its people – but not in the way that he wanted. So many of us have united against him and his minions, where four or five years ago we would not have given each other the time of day. In some ways, I am grateful that we have had this time under Obama to show us the kind of people we DON’T want to be and certainly the kind of people we don’t want to have in government.
So many people were drinking the kool aid for the last 4 years. November is coming and not quickly enough!!
look we all knew the pollsters where lying, there is so much energy for Romney Ryan, the pollsters think Democrats are going to turn out like 2008. But many Democrats are now Republicans and many independents re-joined the GOP after leaving under George Bush.
We will win big, but keep the energy up, Romney will win, but many Republicans running for the Senate in swing state are preforming weaker than Romney like Connie Mack, Josh Mandel, George Allen, Todd Akin (I hate him but less than Claire).
Also there is a chance Blue state senate races can go to the GOP. and house seats are so important.
My ground report from western Iowa:
Lots of pro-Obama signs in our town, mainly because the packing plant union makes the mostly Hispanic workers register to vote at union headquarters and they must take a sign. Our local GOP has been very slow to get anything out. After a grand opening that included Congressman Steve King, HQ was ony going to be open 4.hours.a.week!!! My hubby (who’s retired) volunteered to open Mon.-Fri., noon to 6 p.m. He registers 3-10 daily and has given out lots of signs now.
Today I had a Catholic lady in my antique shop who told me in no uncertain terms that she & her family would all be voting for Romney. She lives in a small town that is renowned for being made up predominately of Catholics, and said many of her friends who voted for Obama the last time won’t be doing so again.
And my friend, whose daughter is a senior at Iowa State, said her daughter had been trying to convert a half dozen of her friends for over three months now. The other night she hosted a mini party in her room to watch the Biden-Ryan debate. All six of these senior college girls were horrified at Biden’s performance. Plus they really listened to what Ryan was saying. By night’s end, they all apologized to my friend’s daughter. Following day, she took them all to a Republican headquarters where ALL SIX registered as Republicans and voted early for Romney-Ryan!!
Love, love, love your comment. We need more warriors like your friend’s daughter.
I voted absentee straight Republican.
I see this election as the comeuppance for the corrupt vintage media.
I see the O campaign is bringing out ‘ol Bruce Springstein on the campaign trail to try and relive the “Glory Days” of 2008. Not gonna happen this time around Boss. Don’t waste your time. Go find Bon Jovi get ready to self destruct on November 6th.
Local lefty Minitru TV news last night here in CT actually reported on Benghazi and how Biden’s remarks at the debate were in conflict from other statements previously given by the administration. I am still in shock! Are thing starting to slip away from O on this Benghazi cover-up?
Barbra Streisand apparently gave a concert the other night, it was all politics. I was asked if I wanted to go and I answered the person “I’m sorry I don’t want to give my money to support a leftie”. They were a little taken aback. They actually laughed but never mentioned it again. I love Streisand but over the years I’ve come to despise her politics.
Obama and Bruce Springstein have something in common; phony accents. Sometime in the late 80’s or early 90’s Bruce Springstein started singing with a mid-western draw to try to give himself credibility as a folk singer. I don’t know exactly when Obama started using his phony southern baptist preacher accent I just know why. I can’t believe black audiences let him get away with it.
Oh an many NJ people know that Springstein and Bon Jove are evading paying property taxs just by having some bee hives or somethingon their massive ranches. Always the hypocrits-leftists.
Another great post, Kevin. You weave a great narrative about this period of our history and our common roots as Hillary supporters. I can tell it becomes clearer to you over time. We have all come a long way in our politics and ideology, eh?
What you say about Obama’s poor health rings true and the reason he had to go first for POTUS before Hillary. It would certainly account for her whole-hog support of him after the primary battle. It’s like she suddenly understood that her eventual success was dependent upon BO’s success. I thought it was about money and the corrupt Chicago machine BO brought with him. There was also the strong anti-white current that you speak of with DB and her new coalition. Ugly stuff, all that.
I also think there is something neurologically wrong with BO. I tend to think it comes from the injuries on his melon that resulted in the big scars we see. There is certainly something wrong with his co-ordination and gait. “The Slims” seems to be some kind of wasting disease–could be a bacterial/viral infection or some type of cancer, I guess. He seems to eat like Chris Christe while staying very thin. About a week ago I watched the original “Mummy” with Boris Karloff and noted a disturbing likeness in the dark, emaciated head and boring black eyes with our current POTUS’s photos.
I never liked the Clintons and they have not appeared to have improved with age. I thought the second Clinton Admin idea with Hillary was a terrible idea, as bad as McCain. Why can’t we get any better choices from the parties?
However, the way Obama’s Chicago thugs treated Hillary and her supporters was horrible. The corrupt liberal media said nothing. Huff Po and Ariana were all for Obama and she was getting Middle East money especially from Saudi Arabia based on the banner ads Huff Po was running at the time.
I know moderate Democrats who loathe Obama but they still cut the party slack. I tell them that they have backed O 100% to the hilt. The GOP is no prize but the Democrat Party are the worst for supporting Obama. I hope we can recover but the damage Obama caused was catastrophic.
The leftist MSM and the Obama camp are trying their hardest to keep the “snowball effect” at bay. If it takes hold, Obama will be buried under an avalanche.
The corrupt MSM tried to create a faux snowball effect in favor of Obama. What they don’t get yet is, America Patriots are awake and we will not fall for leftist MSM propaganda polls anymore.
The snowball effect they used in 2006 against Bush (and continued to use in ’08) is not gaining any traction for a couple of reasons.
1) The old media’s ability to amplify a message has weakened dramatically. Between people having so many other options and the bias becoming more obvious, their power is only a fraction of what it once was. They were already in a panic in ’06 and ’08 about Fox and the internet, trying to minimize the influence, but they did nothing to change their practices that had people exploring the other options. They still think they can control the narrative, but much like trying to watch a magic show after you’ve been clued in how the illusions are done – all you can see are the mechanics and how they are presenting the trick rather than being drawn in. They realized they wrote off the TEA Party and were never able to really sell their narrative because it was THEIR audience’s generation out there and not seeing what the networks were talking about. They were more sympathetic to the Occupy movement and tried to sell how “noble” it was, but as that same audience walked around their cities or went online all they saw were angry people in need of a shower screaming about way too many desperate topics and taking a dump on police cars. Where once people trusted Frank Reynolds, Cronkite, et al. now they are trusting their own eyes.
2) Bad News Travels Faster Than Good. Why do you think Kevin is so anti-Eeyore? It is so easy to be demoralized. Back in ’06, we had a downturn. You could sense things weren’t good, but the media painted it as a crisis. “Worst economy since the Great Depression,” ring a bell? Now, they are claiming we are in a recovery but as you look around you see the “help wanted” sections reduced to only a fraction of a page and businesses that were still chugging along in ’08 when we were told it was so bad have been going belly up or reducing their hours since the second year of the Obama presidency. They can release “improving” numbers, but before they can become the conventional wisdom we are looking at the details and seeing those increased hirings were 2/3 part time jobs and lower number of jobless claims were a result of a state (presumed to be California) provided incomplete numbers.
Yes, it was 2/3 part-time jobs, 1/3 government jobs.
P.S. Government jobs don’t create “wealth”. They take dollars out of the economy in the form of taxes that could be used to create real wealth in the private sector.
Not only are we about to scuttle the Dem’s 16-year plan, but there’s more. Way more.
Remember the Gramscian Long March? It has been going on for decades and was nearing its final destination. I figured just offhand in 2009 that Obama had jumped the gun by 10 or 12 years out of impatience and power lust, predictably waking up the sleeping giant just in time and saving us from a somnambulant descent into full Statism and tyranny.
Thank you Obama!

That is great, Redman Bluestate!
Loved it. I’m so glad you did it. After the debate, that’s the visual that came to my mind every time I thought of Raddatz….She couldn’t have been any tighter with Biden than if she’s been sitting on his lap.

Turnout is EVERYTHING! Please believe me!!
EVERY registered republican, independent and soft democrat HAS to get out and vote for Romney/Ryan whether it is on election day or through an early absentee ballot.
If this happens, the results will be a Reaganesque-style landslide win for R & R.
Obama can only win two ways; low voter turnout by the groups mentioned above (which I don’t see happening) OR MASSIVE voter fraud & ballot box stuffing.
If the latter occurs and R & R supporters are convinced of this, then this country is heading for the makings of a civil war.
Let’s hope and pray it’s a R & R blowout victory!!
YES, YES, YES!
This is a shoutout to people in terminally blue states on the East Coast. Even if you don’t think your vote matters because you live in a blue state, you MUST turn out and vote R&R. If it’s closer than expected on the East Coast, the excitement will spread like a wave to spur greater turnout in the Midwest and on West Coast.
Hey I just thought of this, another thing Obama might have is Lupus or MS. They are very neurological in nature, and have similar symptoms. I do agree there is something odd about Obama’s behavior, it could very well be he has some kind of neurological problem. I’ve also noticed, I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this, but sometimes I think he may even be wearing makeup. It could be to cover up “flare ups” that happen with Lupus. People act disoriented, and have difficulty in their movements. There was a time when I thought I had Lupus, and I did a lot of research on it. So you I do agree I feel you’re on to something Kevin.
Our daughter has a very mild form of lupus, but I had two young female cousins who had systemic and a combination of scleroderma/lupus/rheumatoid arthritis. I know you must be thinking of the “butterfly rash” that sometimes is visible on the face. But I’d think MS before lupus, where Obama is concerned. Statistically, lupus is a woman’s disease.
My money’s on Parkinsons or some stage of AIDS.
Larry Kudlow put up his podcast already. In the beginning he talks about Benghazi, extensively and he doesn’t pull any punches. I was told he had Ed Klein but his synopsis says someone else is talking on this too, so Ed Klein wasn’t the guy.
Worth a listen, you only need to listen to the first 4e minutes or so.
Saturday, 10/13/12 Larry Kudlow
http://www.wabcradio.com/sectional.asp?id=33448
“Today on the Larry Kudlow Show is Robert Costa, political reporter for the National Review. Steve Moore also joins the show. Steve is the author of “Who’s the Fairest of Them A;;? The Truth about Opportunity, Taxes, and Wealth in America.'”
Klein comes on around 8 or 9 minutes.
Well, it was Ed Klein! Guess he was an unscheduled guest! And the intern just left the synopsis up not realizing Larry would add a guest last minute.
But wow, just listened. If a tenth of what this man said is true, this is more than a disgrace.
“Connecticut Dem Jokes About Corruption”
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/connecticut-dem-jokes-about-corruption_654445.html
Ok, so now why isn’t this information out in the state of CT? I’m going to check on that, and proceed to disseminate this information out and about as much as possible!
When I vote for RR, I plan on taking my phone camera taking a picture of the ballot, and mailing to the DNC, I still have some prepaid donation envelops from them.
Tonight when we were coming out of Mass we were surprised by what we saw. It was particularly poignant owing to thsi Sunday’s gospel.
There was a mother standing there with a small boy flanking either side. She was covering her face with a sign. The sign essentially said that she had 4 children and had lost her job and could we please help her as she can’t feed her children.
Of the group that exited with us, no one stopped or said a word. I think we were all trying to process what we had just passed and wondering how to help. She was asking for money. In the past, when someone was asking for food I would literally take them to the deli and buy them a sandwich. The ones who didn’t want me to buy the sandwich I generally didn’t give the money to.
Honestly, what do you do in this situation? How is it handled. There is Catholic Charities and the food pantry of our church. If you are an illegal, you can still get food stamps. So what are you supposed to do? What would you guys have done?
We went a picked up two pizzas and bought them back to the church while she waited. We figured it would be a treat for her kids. She thanked us and took the pizzas. But I felt it wasn’t enough.
Awww, how awesome are you?
A couple of ideas … as someone on a strict budget myself, my money goes a lot further cooking at home. If they can do that, you can buy them gift cards to grocery stores. Or you can print out information on where food pantries are located and how she can sign up for food stamps. A mother of 4 would definitely qualify.
Pompeii? No. More like Berlin in mid-April of 1945.
Thinking about, we’ve even got the right color scheme. We’re the Red Army!
Brilliant post!
Today in driving around suburban Philadelphia I saw a goodly number of Romney/Ryan 2012 lawn signs and ZERO Zero signs! None. Zilch. Nada. Not a single Obama lawn sign in a ring suburb of Philadelphia. Now all we need to do is get past the New Black Panther poll watchers & we’ll be on our way to re-building America!
Just got a communication from Obama for America. It was a graphic. Did anyone else get it. After seeing them say that “4,000,000 people have donated which means that 1 in 75 people have a piece of this candidate”….it terrifies you.
I’ll try to find it online. Did anyone else get it?
Kevin, I really want your opinion on this, thanks.
Email it to me: HillBuzz@gmail.com
It’s here, a site already put it up. It came a little after 7 and they had it up by 7:46
http://www.newsroomamerica.com/story/319643/reporting_back_to_you.html
Very grandious, with all the facts, figures. Too precise of numbers. Also there are so many charges floating around about illegal contributions, they are probably fighting that story with big numbers.
It reminds me of those chain letters back in the 70’s. If you don’t forward to ten people in ten days you will have bad luck.
Did they happen to mention how many of those 4 million people were Americans?
Living, breathing Americans…..
Awesome column. Hope your predictions come to pass.
Love this post. Am I alone in remembering 2008 like it was yesterday?
His term was so weird, I kept waiting for the country to “move on” from Obama, stop obsessing over him like he was just elected.
It never happened!
And to be clear – I think if he allowed the economy to recover, it would have allowed the country to move on and stop focusing on him.
It’s just really strange he never allowed it to recover.
My state will vote Romney, but my community, as always, will vote overwhelmingly Demo. But there is HOPE and CHANGE this year.
2008: Lots of Obama yard signs and bumper stickers.
2012: I have not seen ONE Obama sign. I have seen ONE RR yard sign, BUT I saw the greatest bumper sticker:
It has a picture of Obama (with the halo effect) and the question: Does this ASS make my car look bigger?
She’s coming, and hell’s coming with her.
UK Daily Mail Reports –
Hillary identifies Rice as an Obama administration mouthpiece not speaking for the State Department.

Great post Kevin.
I have been to Pompeii. It is encouraging to see that periods of Paganism and cultural decline has existed before only to die a horrific death. We are not yet a Pagan country but sadly our popular culture is dominate by Pagans who seek to destroy Americas Judeo-Christian values. They will not suceed. They will go the way of Pompei and the Nazis. Good will prevail because America still has so many good people. More democrats will wake up. There end is near.
Ground Report from a Florida FB friend: ‘ I spent the day knocking on doors for Romney here in Ocala, FL and the majority of them are really pissed at Biden and are going with Romney! I think that last debate has really made a difference! It was an uplifting day!’
Good news, indeed!!! Plugs’ horrendous behavior appears to have been helpful in shoving some people over the edge into voting for Romney!
After imposing Obama on this country, I want nothing less than ultimate humiliation for the Democrats this November.
The democrats have been led into a false sense of security from our left biased press. Reality is not going to be kind to either, as it will probably go all out Pompeii on them both. And it couldn’t happen to a more deserving lot. Thanks for your great comparison.
The most transparent administration in U.S. history is moving to SEAL Obama’s presidential records.
Rep. Edolphous Towns (Dirtbag-NY) has introduced the Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2012.
I guess they just realized when Obama looses, there is a lot of evidence they need to hide.
NOTE: Obama cancelled G.W.’s efforts to seal his records because “…the american people should have greater access to historic documents.”
Please tell your congress-critter to stop this bill.

I am now accepting bets. I say since the word is out on Obama’s “No god but Allah” ring, he will either switch to a plain gold band or go au natural for the debate.
You asked for ground reports. I live in Wood County across the river from the ALL BLUE ALL THE TIME Lucas County in Ohio. This county is much sought after by both parties since it’s pretty much up for grabs, unlike Lucas where, I must add, thousands turned out for a Romney rally.
There are more signs for Obama et al around town than Romney, I have to say. In addition, I’ve noticed a lot of Dems tend to load up on signs and post them on both ends of their lawns to make it look like their neighbors are pro-Obama. It seems to me that the Obama supporters here are hard core.
Why more Obama signs than Romney?
Well, the Republican party machinery in Wood & Lucas Counties SUCK, basically. I requested signs on 3 different occasions but was only able to get one when the Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama came into town.
So while I despair at the local organizations, I have to say the grassroots organizations (Tea Party, Children of Liberty, We B 4, Conservative Coalition) are HIGHLY organized and active.
For example, the groups are putting up billboards, running ads and holding viewing parties for the debates. Over 100 people turned out (thru email notice alone) for the VP debate. Place was packed. And that’s just the people who want to watch IN A GROUP, as many want to watch alone to better process what’s happening.
I am hopeful about Ohio. Conservatives by nature are not loud or showy, as the other side is, but, boy, are we determined nowadays.
Up here in Canada of my friends and I are cheering and even praying for a Romney/Ryan Route.
We know what it means for the USA and for Canada (not to mention the rest of the planet) if Mr. ‘Slim’ wins again. Oh yes we do.
Nice analogy on the Pompeii thing.
I have said it everywhere for months upon months, 61-39 blowout! Americans have had enough. They thought the “anger” from the left was because Bush had us in two wars, they now recognize they are angry all the time and at some point that anger will come their way. My heart is full for November 6th, the blue states that were taken Red will bring in the outer counties last, making sure that the CORRECT vote count for the cities are made available first so that there can be no “found” votes! The now red AGs of those states will be on guard for fraud and We The People will be at the polls WATCHING all day to participate in the emancipation of our Country from the left!
Colorado is leaning Romney.. In my sub-division, so far, 4-1, Romney vs Obama..
The Dems/Media have NO CLUE, how pissed off we are in middle America.. PISSED OFF & WE VOTE…
I have talked to Jewish friends, who aren’t voting for O, former Dem’s who voted for him, are now, VERY AGAINST HIM..
I believe it will be a blow out for Romney/Ryan..
Here’s my report from the Peoples Republic of Maryland. I live in Montgomery County ~ every member of the city council is a democrat. My congresscritter, Chris VanHollen, did the debate prep for Joey Biden That said, I am seeing very few signs for Obama and maybe only a couple bumper stickers for BO&Joe on a daily basis. I am starting to see many more R&R bumper stickers and lawn signs. I made a trip into DC the other day, going almost the entire length of 16th Street. I only saw 2 Obama lawn signs. Four years ago, the cars on my block were loaded with Obama bumper stickers….this year, not one car sporting one. I see the crowds that show up for R&R, and I don’t trust the polls. The only “poll” that really matters is on November. 6th. Unfortunately, in Maryland, we have two small towns that permit illegals to vote in “local” elections, but I have my suspicions that this carries over into other elections. I just keep thinking about the 2010 elections and August 1st at Chick-Fil-A. I think we have a quiet but steady band of people who love this country and we will be victorious on November 6th. Thanks, Kevin, for all you do!
Read the article and loved it…Thank you! Here in North Central Ohio…for every 1 Obama sign…there are at least 5 Romney signs. My “Hope and Change” will be when it’s annnounced 11-6, that the Romney Ryan ticket has won!!
The ONLY good that can come from the election of Obama is the destruction of the democrat/communist party.
Hey Hillbuzz former PUMA here …. Excellent analysis and not far from the truth…. I will be passing this on
