In a stunning turn of events, President Obama has decided to campaign for Republicans.

I was very surprised by this. I knew he would try to move to the right to save his job (That is what he means by jobs saved or created with over 10% unemployment), but I did not think he would simply campaign for the Republican Party.
At a Democratic National Committee Fundraiser in New Jersey (where Governor Chris Christie actually does real work, something Mr. Obama could learn about), Mr. Obama said the following:
“Unless we are able to maintain Democrats in the House and Senate, then we’re going to be stalled for two years or four years, and we’re going to start going backwards.”
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
I finally agree with the man. Maybe his ears are big so the better he can hear me and Little Red Riding Hood with them.
That is it precisely.
He is concerned that if we fire the Pelosiraptor, all the fabulous “progress” that “progressives” have made the last two years will be reversed. Maybe we will go back to the pre-Pelosiraptor years when the George W. Bush economy from 2002 to 2006 was clicking on all cylinders. Oh the horror! We would go back to the days when Barney Frank was just a crybaby minority member on the House Financial Services Committee and not a leading agent of economic destruction.
Liberals love to say that the economy crashed on President Bush’s watch. It did just fine when Republicans controlled everything. It crashed and burned when the left got Congress.
(The left will call this a coincidence, or at least argue against correlation. They can then stop trying to relate the financial crisis to George W. Bush, since there is zero correlation according to anybody that did not hate the man personally before, during, and after his tenure.)
Pelosinomics has failed. Mr. Obama is worried Americans might want to reverse it. He should.
“Now when unemployment is still at 9.5, 9.6 percent that gives an enormous advantage to whoever is not in power because they can simply point at the status quo and regardless of causation say, ‘You know what? It’s the folks who are in power that are at fault,’” Obama said. “So that gives a natural momentum” to Republicans, he said.
How the heck does this egomaniac think he got elected in 2008? Does he honestly believe he is that special?
(Actually he does, wearing “Eau D’Obama @nus” cologne every morning.)
Barack Obama got elected because Lehman Brothers burned.
That’s it. Nothing else.
John McCain was ahead 49-44 in polls, a consistent lead that evaporated on September 15th of 2008. Some events are more powerful than any human being. The day JFK was shot in 1963, even Barry Goldwater conceded that the 1964 election was lost for Republicans.
Barack Obama got elected because an economic disaster allowed him to exploit fear about the future for his own gain. This is called politics. He got lucky, and took advantage by not letting a crisis go to waste.
Then he got elected, and realized that the actual real work was tougher than he thought. He did not fix the problems, and the people want to reverse his failed policies. The people beg for jobs and he babbles on about green technology while offering a Chevy Volt nobody would buy even if they had money in the bank. People want jobs, and he offers a health care plan that has businesses dropping coverage altogether.
He calls the businesses evil. They claim they are trying to survive. I believe them because he has never run a business.
“One of the strengths of Democrats is that we don’t march lockstep. We like to have internal arguments and we’re very self-critical,” Obama said.
What he means is that Will Rogers was right when he said that he did not belong to any organized political party because he was a Democrat. Democrats are dysfunctional because they are a collection of beggars with no uniting philosophy.
Republicans have a coherent agenda. They win when they stick to it. Also, this notion of “lockstep” belies the fact that there are plenty of Republican disagreements. The entire Tea Party movement sprung out of that. So on the one hand their is a mythical Republican civil war, and on the other hand we march in lockstep.
I was for Barack Obama’s argument before I was against it before I was either for it or against it depending on liberal polling and focus groups.
I gave my word that if Barack Obama were to actually be right about something, I would praise him. Well my blinking VCR theory has him right twice a day by accident, and I will sing his praises right now for being right.
If Republicans take over the Congress, it will reverse or at least put an end to his rigid leftist governance. It will force him to stop being an arrogant ideologue and start being bipartisan for his own sake like he promised.
(I just hope this time Dick Morris slams the phone down on him.)
Mr. Obama, please keep campaigning for the Republican Party.
Actually, I should not be too happy. Barack Obama is so unpopular that he might claim to be a Republican so people keep voting for Democrats.
Now if we can only get the Pelosiraptor to admit that if the Democrats win, she will promise to deliver more of the same in larger doses.

As a Republican, I received an email from Sarah Palin, invitiing me
to talk to her, at an Anaheim, event.
I probably wont go however, due to other considerations.
No Democrat has ever invited me to anything..even though I
was a member of that party for years, until I woke up and saw
the truth. I wish that some day more of my faith will realize the truth,
what is good for America and what is good for them.
My Christian friends like to say to me, “The truth shall set you free”.
As a Jew, I would add, and siometimes make you feel miserable.
But thats okay. I respect the Christian faith and its followers.
In fact, on numerous occasions I have been subjected to
Christian evangelicals..who want me to join them.
I am always polite, reminding them that my Messiah is yet
to come according to Torah teachings. But thats okay, we
part as friends. I respect them, and I hope they respect me, even if they
think Im observant to a pre-historic faith.
Prior to the election, I tried to convince others that McCain/Palin were better for the country and US.
Few, if any understood my thinking..they would say, “You as a Jew
vote Republican? How could you?”
I felt like I was some sort of traitor, to my faith and my country.
Then I researched my Torah..for inspiration. No where does it
require me to be a Democrat. Funny about that.
There is a local Jewish paper, that is liberal, typically.
In it is an oped., which states that Jews dont much care about
the size of government, big or small, its how efficient it is.
Efficient…how can anyone know that..with a budget of 4.5 trillion
or one third the GDP. Most people dont know what GDP stands for?
I mean come on guys, give me a break.
I know someone who boasts he is a social democrat, whateer that means.
At the same time, he asks how he can avoid paying income taxes.
With social security and medicare/medicaid gong bankrupt, how can
anyone want MORE stimulus money..and more government spending?
It just doesnt make sense.
I sent in my ballot today, straight Republican, except for one.
I wont reveal that one.
You know,the Democrats are really screwed up.
In one blue state (for Obama) the Republicans now have
a majority of the votes. The Democrats say they will sit out
rather than vote for Obama’s policies. But they voted him im
originally, what has changed.
Either you are for, or not for, the TARP, stimulus, bail-out of
GM, cap and trade, restrictions on mining fossel fuel,
the F-22s, continued sanctions against Korea and more sanctions
againt Iran. What has changed?
Looks like the liberal students in Madison are still as sheepish as ever.
Yes indeed, Bush economics was great for the country. Consider
the interest rates, the inflation or lack thereof, the high unemployment,
the new jobs…then came the Democrats into Congress.
Does anyone beleive that Bush was responsible for those that purchased
homes they could not afford, thus leading to the credit swaps and
slicing and dicing mortgages?
Was Bush responsible for 911 or was Cointon?
Speaking of Clinton, get this.
He scolded Russians living in Israel for being too right.
You see, they believe in holding as much land as possible,
possibly remembering operation Barbarosa..the invasion by
3m Germans of Russia in 1941. if not for the land, well, goodby
Ruskies and America. Soooo, they think having 8,000 squre miles
affords some protection against the hordes of the East (Iran).
But if I were to gamble in Las Vegas the results of Nov 3,
I would estimate the majority of the minorities will vote Democratic.
Its in the bag, or the sewer.
Sometimes I gotta just laugh and say “yup”
