It's not hard to predict the future here.
The GOP control both Houses further eroding King Barack's power. Hopefully, they'll put a stop to some of the EO's.
Fed Chairwoman Yellen does a 180 on "easy money", which causes a massacre on Wall Street..... putting the blame squarely on the GOP Tea Party....for doubling of mortgage rates, runaway inflation
....just in time for Hillary to be able to claim she can "go back to the days of Bill Clinton, BEFORE the evil GWB and the right wing almost destroyed our country, etc.."
When Obamacare and other issues with Obama's entire administration scare life long democrats, we can expect big changes the next election. What will be interesting are the excuses the MSM will make for Obama.
The playbook is open, simple, and effective. If, by some miracle, Americans actually come out of their stupor long enough to hand the Democrats losses in November, the excuse will be that Americans didn't understand.
The msm will go to the "Obama is just too brilliant" play. The ACA is too nuanced, and Obama, while a genius and a communicator without equal, was just unable to dumb his message down enough for the masses.

If Democrats are shellacked in November, I predict that many of Obama's court stenographers (formerly known as "the media") will peevishly complain that Americans have thrown another "temper tantrum".
No. They'll say it's time for the Democrats to turn to the Elizabeth Warren wing of the party. Time for more populism, higher taxes on the wealthy and more squeezing of business (minimum wage increases).

Do you think this election will be won because of overwhelming Republican voter turnout, or because of under-whelming Democrat turnout??
I think a bit of both, mainly because black America is not going to turn out to vote for an old white lady (the Hildebeest) as the successor to Obama. If there is not another black liberal to mount a primary challenge I don't think black American voters will turn out at all....

The vote in 2014 will tip to Rs because of low turn out. However, the GOP is doing all they can to suppress conservative turn out. Ok, they don't want to suppress the turn out of conservatives, but they want to be sure that the conservatives only have Ds and GOPe approved choices.
In 2016, Hillary will be a bit of a problem for the Ds. She's old, angry and shrill with some baggage. But, if they can steer the nomination to a woman like Elizabeth Warren, they'll likely win. There are women waiting to vote for a woman for president. To hell with qualifications, track record, even party, what they want is a woman. Gender is qualification enough.
It worked for Obama with skin color.
The moment that the economy is so bad that all the cable and satellite companies go out of business, and not a minute sooner.
You all are smoking crack.
The vast and overwhelming majority of "the people" are (at best) marginally aware that there's anything wrong at all, and at worst clueless.
Our societal attention span is such that as long as we can function today basically in concert with how we functioned yesterday, the body politic won't know that there's anything to backlash about at all.
We, people in forums like these, are societal anachronisms. We pay attention while the rest of the nation is spoon fed pablum by a political structure that's best described as managerialism. Political patriarchs and industrial princes run things in accordance to their needs and goals, keeping us up in the maenianum secundum entertained while Rome buns.
It's Fascist industrialism with 1080i LED screens to keep us glued to reality TV... while reality life crumbles all around us.
Fascism was capitalism's response to threats of an impending socialist revolution.
And here we are...
Smack dab in the middle of a world-wide socialist revolution, with capitalism and government working frantically to manage the battlefields.
The body politic won't notice the smokes from the fires until their Samsungs and LGs and Zeniths go permanently dark.

Normally this is correct. But the amount that lost health insurance are ticked off. People on medicare/disabilty had their medicare advantage plans all skyrocket extremely in cost. People are ticked off. Obama already lost a lot of his base that were not black because he is not doing enough to turn America full progressive communist.
The democratic party has been fully hijacked progressive left and the fake bluedogs will be shown the door.
The ONLY way the dems don't lose is MASSIVE voter fraud from the Obama machine. And I don't think- with Obama not running, that will even turn out. Obama used taxpayers money to fund his ACORN like slush funds in San Antonio (and else where) via Castro. They are desperate to pull off a cheat.
Basically, it was under Clinton that Fannie and Freddie really began blowing the housing bubble, issuing epic amounts of mortgage-backed debt.
The story that Gasparino tells is basically: Liberal Bill Clinton thought he could use government to make everyone a homeowner and so naturally this ended in disaster.
Gasparino specifically cites the controversial Community Reinvestment Act, a popular conservative bogeyman

The GOPe is as big a problem as the Jackasses are!

We need to clean out own house first!
So, people are ticked off, and they will show their displeasure by turning the reins over to... the OTHER half of the political establishment in DC.
We're moving deck chairs on the deck of the Titanic.
P.S. The GOP is already promoting how they will "fix" the ACA.
So, the garbage piece of Socialist legislation stays, and becomes, via the fact that the GOP opted for "repair" over "repeal", a bipartisan entitlement program.
Yes, but they are not going to impeach him, Gazoo. Even if they win the senate they will not impeach him....... they are too afraid to do anything the media might not like.
So Obama gets away with it all, goes to Hawaii and we get more of the same with Hillary?
Hopelessness derived from a man of hope.
Beyond depressing...
. Even if they win the senate they will not impeach him....... they are too afraid to do anything the media might not like.
I get this. Moving deck chairs around. I agree it is done and nothing is ever accomplished.
You are omitting some things in your theory. If Obama is allowed to continue and be above the law and utilize the IRS to gut his political opponents we are setting a very dangerous precedent. Just because Obama is historic black he can do as he pleases?
Go to the judicial websites official page. they are not playing. There was a hearing on what measures to take and if what Obama has done warrants impeachment.

There are some republicans that are not afraid of the media calling them a VRWC. Obama as used the IRS to silence voices in politics allotting him to not be shellacked.
This cannot be ignored no matter what.
Exactly! They are more afraid of the media than they are their constituents. That is a huge mistake on their part.
George W. Bush came to office in the heels of the rejection of the Clinton's attempted health care take over. He signed into law the largest entitlement program since who knows when (The Medicare Modernization Act, which included Medicare Part D) , signed No Child Left Behind, and set the Patriot Act in place.
Obama came to office swearing to end George W. Bush's expansion of the power of the Executive Order, brought to realization the health care take over, expanded the use of Executive Orders, and presided over the Patriot Act's natural outcome, the NSA's spy activities.
IF Republicans take power in 2014/2016, they will "fix" Obamacare, and probably expand the use of EOs. They'll "fix" the NSA's program, and "reform" immigration.
We grow the government no matter who's in charge.
It's relentless.
For quite some time it's been obvious that the GOP is positioning themselves to be European style conservatives. That is to say, they don't promise small government, they simply promise to manage the big government better than the liberals.

Most of us STILL do not want BIG government managed by European style Conservatives! We what CONSTITUTIONAL government managed by American patriots ...

That right there, that is exactly why the GOPe and Democrats and certain posters on these forums, see us as extremists.
Absolutely true! Hence the rise of TEA!

What's that, besides an excellent title for one of the World's thinnest books?? ESCs are nothing more than the survivors who had sense enough to capitulate to the overwhelming far left in Europe, especially the extreme far left like the German Greens......
I am looking for the First American President since Obama........

Jarvis life experience taught him that politicians will spend all the money they can get, so restrict what they get.

This sluggish economy may be the new normal, and Hillary's going to have to come up with something new in 2016. The lefties in the Democrat Party are not going to go along with another nominee who seems to be favorable to Wall Street and corporations, as Bill Clinton was.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!
Ah...
I'll have what's he's having.
I'd get seriously offended. If you were not right. What do you do? Keep pushing in the vain hope they might actually grow something approaching a spine.
By all means!! Help yourself!! Plenty more where that came from!!
