OLJingoist,
Don't get me wrong, I think Obama is an evil bast*rd which he tries to cover up with a faux folksy manner. But I think he played his totalitarian hand too early, losing the House last election. If that hadn't happened, god knows where we'd be right now with the troika of Obama/Pelosi/Reid in power. I also think that he is not inept, stupid, but not inept. My comment on that is, 'What would Obama be doing different if he wanted to destroy the US than he's doing right now?' The answer is, 'Not much'. He's already nationalized a huge chunk of private enterprise (health, auto, banking, student loan, et.al.), accelerated the downfall of both the commercial and private real estate markets, ruined our currency, raised our debt to unsustainable levels, trashed our allies while cozying up to tin pot dictators and theocratic thugs, killed DADT hurting both the morale of our military and reenlistment, and pretty much lied through his teeth with every speechifying he makes while partying like he's a divine right king living in Versailles issuing edicts to us peasants. I'm sure there's more, like the expansion of government employees hence unions.
Times are dire and I do not doubt the evil that is in every fiber of that transnational progressive bast*rd's being, I just think he shot his wad too early. I hope I'm right and you're wrong, but like you say, time will tell -- and there's not a lot of time with which to play around.
