IT’S MAGIC! Congressional leftists are finding all sorts of mainstream centrist and even (gasp) right of center issues to take up… as they scatter in all directions trying to distance themselves from a President and a Democratic party leadership who they see as leading them down a rocky road to destruction.

This magic transformation has come about, as predicted by yours truly, by the turn of the new year and the sudden recognition by some REALLY arrogant Democratic Congress critters who have had a really rude awakening, something else I predicted was on the way. Before anyone gets the idea that I’m making claims towards prescience, I’m not and it wasn’t really all that hard. Following the mood of the American people through news research you can get a pretty good idea of how things may go. Once the Virginia and New Jersey races were improbably won by Republicans in predominantly Democratically dominated areas the change in the temper of the electorate started to make itself known loud and clear. Then came Massachusetts and the Democrats were rocked to their core.

Tea Partiers Make Themselves Heard.

The Democrat leadership began to lose their iron grip on the membership, with Senators and Representatives being incessantly hammered by their constituents and any number of the millions of patriots who have been making themselves heard in no uncertain terms. The Obama, Reid and Pelosi brand of hope and change is not what we want and as AMERICANS we really resent having something crammed down our throats or sneaked behind our backs. We pushed back. We stopped the Obama juggernaut in its tracks, super majority not withstanding. We stopped the illegal and unconstitutional theft of our health care, though that battle isn’t over yet. There are other battles yet to fight, but as Conservative challenges have sprung up all over the nation the momentum has begun to change.

Then there was the disclosure of President Obama’s massive budget and deficit figures. With Obama more determined than ever to try and force his agenda on the American people, Americans are more determined than ever to stop him. The 2010 elections may well prove disastrous to the socialist aims of Obama and the Democrats.

In the interim the Republicans have their work cut out for them.
They will have to challenge the administration and the Democrats in Congress on every item, every word if that’s what it takes. It’s good to see Republicans learning how to fight again and doing it to good result. It’s amazing to see liberal arguments dissolve when challenged on fact and principle.

Scoring the President’s speech was a breeze. There was not a single word of truth in anything he said. Period. One hour, nine minutes and forty four seconds of absolute statist crap. If Mr. Obama thought that his HUGOESQUE farce impressed anyone other than himself he was deluded. Not even his own party could be moved to support him in the face of overwhelming opposition from most of the country.

When even the reliable  moderate Fred Barnes asks, “Haven’t we heard this speech before?”, you know your tune isn’t playing. But Fred, whom I seldom agree with, has a point… EVERY Obama speech sounds like every other Obama speech. That’s what happens when your ideology bumps into the nations reality. Barnes also said that it was the ‘least fresh’ State of the Union speech he had ever heard. Wow! Another point of agreement. I think Fred was speaking for most of the nation, aside from the rehashed liberal gibberish I referred to yesterday there were more assaults on the middle class, via pumping more private sector dollars into “job” programs which will only grow more government jobs and short term jobs, which will die as the money runs out. Watch for the big push for centralized government programs all over again.

What seems to be the message from President Obama is that he DIDN’T get the message that we, the people of the United States of America, have been sending him. We don’t want your massive government spending, taxes, regulation, and control of our health care system. Congress, however, HAS been getting the message in abundance. YOU ALL can take credit for that. It’s YOU, the American people, who are responsible for what happened in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. It wasn’t the party machinery of the RNC. It was your unremitting efforts at getting the message out there that WE WILL NOT TOLERATE Obama’s back room, third world Marxist politics.

Obama urged Democrat Representatives and Senators to fall in behind him and ‘win one for the Gipper’. All the while they are scattering like a covey of frightened quail while counting the days until November. Few will be willing to commit political seppuku for Obama’s ideologically driven delusions.

Obama’s shameful third world treatment of the honorable members of the highest court in the land, and the DEMOCRATS who participated with him in it, was vintage Hugo Chavez or perhaps Mao Tse Tung. Especially given that he premised his Stalinist attack on a lie… which after all WAS pure Stalin. Few of the members of the Court will forget about about this treatment while Obama remains in office which may turn out to be a good thing for the rest of America.

Supreme Court Judges Listen To The State Of The Union Address.

The Supreme court made the correct decision overturning the portion of the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold Act that limited the freedom of individual speech, all leftist claims aside. The laws concerning foreign contribution to US election campaigns were UNTOUCHED AND REMAIN IN FORCE!
Another Obama BALD FACED LIE.
What last night taught us is that Barack Obama is far too ideologically committed to do anything like a Bill Clinton shift to the right. This is going to mean that at least for us the fight continues unabated.

Our marching orders are clear. We need to fight these people over every single item of their agenda and give no ground at all, for in fact is that not the way they have dealt with us?
Continue the Conservative march to victory in November and beyond. Shout the praises of freedom and the American way of life to your friends and your neighbors, and defeat those who would see us drown in the third world misery that would be Obama’s America.

Ohio brought out the best Barack Obama has to offer – and it isn’t much. He did a lot of speech-making about how he was doing this for us and how he was going to do that for us. The only problem, as far as the people of Ohio and the rest of the nation are concerned, is that it’s not about what he’s going to do for us, it’s about what he’s DOING TO US.

Obama had just come from telling America’s banking industry that the heavy regulatory hand of government will come crashing down on ‘the evil bankers’ who have been basking in the light of special regulatory exemptions. Saying nary a word about the Democrats, who for thirty years systematically created the environment that made Fannie and Freddie BILLIONS in very questionable sub-prime mortgages mandated by the government. Add the suicidally risky practice of the hedge and private equity funds in gambling with tons of this sub-prime paper, and bundling and reselling the same bunk paper. Democrats, meanwhile, taking huge bribes from these banking giants in the form of campaign contributions for running interference against those who sought to control and regulate what some forecast as pending disaster.

Obama In Ohio

Barack Obama, a reasonable person could argue, has not only done nothing to help America to recover from this Democrat created disaster, but everything possible to make it worse.
We can blame part of the problem on the Bush administration for allowing it to occur, not acting forcefully enough to control his own big government and not having guts enough to stand up to the Democrats. Bush did a lot of things wrong. He left us with a total deficit of 2.5 TRILLION dollars through 2008. Still, one must consider this includes the spending for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Barack Obama and George Bush can share the blame for an additional 2.6 TRILLION dollar increase for 2009.

Barack Obama, in what can only be considered to be a purposeful effort to bring this country down given the evidence at hand, is presiding over a drunken orgy of graft and pork-laden government bloat to the tune of an estimated FOUR POINT NINE TRILLION DOLLARS by 2016.
This is a figure beyond the average person’s comprehension.
Unfortunately for Mr. Obama the average people in the nation didn’t have to count the zeros to understand that we didn’t like what he was trying to do to us.
Therein, as they say, lies the rub. President Obama keeps saying what he’s going to do for ‘us’. We keep seeing what he’s doing TO us.

Massachusetts should have been a flare lit tip off, but Barack and that sorry clown Congress just don’t get it.
They are right back out there telling us what it is THAT WE WANT, while they are repackaging the same stinking pile that cost them New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts, in what has to be one of the most stunning upsets in politics for decades.
Barack just can’t spin it to where it sounds anything but empty and threatening to Americans and judging by his poll numbers, Americans aren’t buying.
