Barack Obama,  Day By Day,  Martha Coakley,  Scott Brown

Day By Day January 20, 2009 – Chicken!



Day By Day by Chris Muir

With Republican Scott Brown’s upset victory over Democrat Martha Coakley for Teddy Kennedy’s Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, it remains to be seen if President Obama will accede to the will of the people or proceed with business as usual. Without a 60 vote Democrat supermajority in the Senate, Harry Reid WILL have to deal with Mitch McConnell and the Republicans.

Will bipartisanship suddenly break out with some modest and scaled back health care reforms being adopted? Or will the far left of the Democrat Party force the issue and the entire Obamacare legislative package be scuttled?

Then, there are the political ramifications. How many Democrat incumbents in the House from red states or red leaning districts will now retire rather than fight for re-election. Filiong deadlines have not been reached in some 70 per cent of Congressional Districts.

Chris, a game of chicken is correct.

Who will blink first?

Obama or the Republicans?

    As one of President Obama’s early Presidential bid supporters, to say it saddens me just how wrong I was in advocating for this man is to touch the very tip of a substantial mountain of barren rock, free of life giving sustenance.

    Things hidden from me:

    -President Obama was instrumental in private practice of using the race card consistently to force financial institutions to lend to clearly uncreditworthy minority applicants. If they were black, that was sufficient to lend white money.

    -That both in the Illinois legislature and in private practice he was at the forefront of the effort to condemn non-black populations for their terrible behaviors toward blacks, even though in many cases blacks were out of control and at the forefront of anti-social activities. That they were black was all that was necessary for President Obama to hear before forming an opinion

    -That his personal friendships in private life with the black community were based solely on skin color and frequently of the spirit of black power over white power.

    -That black citizens were to be favored over white citizens was a given among President Obama’s private associates and associations.

    All of this was hidden from the electorate. President Obama was portrayed as the President of all the people, a characterization so far out of sync with the truth, and so much in concert with the lowering of standards in America during the past 50 years so as to be as close to treason as one can possibly come without actually being arrested for that heinous crime.

    Even now that white males are the most disadvantaged minority on most college campuses, both minority and women’s groups never have enough. There is no dark pit deep enough to satisfy their reverse racist and sexist positions.

    As such, the civil rights movement is dead to me, and to my children.

    We will labor with all our strength to overturn the corruption and the unworthy social agendas that we have been so duped into believing were the salvation of America.

    We have sunk to depths never before seen in modern life, and it must stop.

    Bring on white male power. We women and minorities have had our time. We have had over fifty years to pursue our agendas, and America has sunk to the bottom of the free world as a result.

    God Bless America,

    I think it’s a great lost for the democrat to lose Massachusetts… But I know that Mass has had it’s own health care system for quite a while now… Maybe they just don’t give a f*** damn about the rest of the country who obviously need the health care reform badly.

    This election, whether it’s a Demoratic loss or merely close, should be a wake-up call to Democrats. November will be worse if they don’t change direction. Maybe they don’t care, and already have their pharma and insurance jobs lined up. In that case, good riddance.

    God Bless America,
