   I thought Lord Obama was going to win all our wars by talking our enemies to death, that is the plan isn’t it? Maybe he needs a Republican pentagon to fight off a Clintonian coup.

   it also says a lot about the ‘republicans’ that are staying. it looks like we have a ruling class, the parties don’t mean much, and are not that different.

   Doesnt matter if the Dems or the GOP is in power. The strategic goal of the US marches on no matter what – and no one is going to change that.

   Its the exact same ‘old white guys’ that rule both parties. Its only the public face presented to the American people that ever changes. The financial bailout should put to rest the fallicy that we really have a say in our government.

   I think this has more to do with Gates than Obama.

   If I was Gates there’s no way I would have kept the job unless I knew the people under me were “mine.”

   Why do we need these guys? I just saw a picture on Drudge’s main page of Commander-Elect Cupcake. The MSM is all worked up over the pecs on Him. Why, those pecs alone should keep our enemies awake & afraid all night! On the other, Putin was also on display. Now there is a guy who could provide a serious beat down, if he was so inclined.

    I think this is evidence of the “Holy S#!t” realization Obummer has had since he started getting the Intel briefs after the election. National Security during the GWOT is serious business and shouldn’t be left to amateurs.

    Obama has ZERO political chutzpah. Liberals made there bed, now they can lie in it. Wait until the moonbats catch on. Bush II.

    Do you think the war protests will continue under the Obama Regime? (e.g. where were all the protestors when Clinton was bombing the Serbs?)

    Now, if we can just get ol’ ZERO to allow the middle class to make and keep their money…

    Why the surprise, people?

    These are the Nationalists in the coming National Socialist regime of Adolf Obama. The Leader needs a powerful military machine at his side.

    All Heil THE FOURTH REICH!

    Amerika Uber Alles!

    Coming Attractions: “The Night of the Long Knives” in which Obama purges the Chicago Brown Shirts of Mayor Daily who were responsible for his rise to power.

    Obama=Hitler is almost as silly as Bush=Hitler.

    If Obama takes full advantage of the effective one party control of DC now that Weird Al has stolen the election, and the GOP is one RINO (out of about five) away from being unable to sustain a filibuster, and any one of the four constitutionalists and the one no particular discernible philosophy member dying in the next four years away from appointing a Fifth Marxist SCOTUS Justice, and we become a permanent one party state, I think comparisons to Stalin or Mao would likely be more apt.

    Shortly after Nov. 4, Obama was let in on daily security briefings. You cannot tell me that, upon hearing the intelligence we have, Obama didn’t do an almost complete 180º (at least privately) about the war and terrorism.

    It’s great to talk about peace and talks and diplomacy when you’re a candidate; you’re not in charge and it sounds pretty.

    When you’re the president – the buck stops at the Oval Office. Obama doesn’t want to be responsible for the deaths of Americans due to terrorism.

    Perhaps he’s gotten a wake-up call.

    Stay vigilant, Obama. And let’s keep praising him when he does good and challenging him when he does wrong…

    NSA wiretapping….yes

    CIA interrogation methods….yes

    Troops in Iraq based on Conditions on
    the ground…….yes

    Keeping Gates and his staff…..yes

    Keeping the Bush tax cuts……yes

    No profit gains tax…….yes

    Mr. Obama has made it very clear:

    BUSH WAS RIGHT!!!

    How am I supposed to hate Obama like I’m supposed when he keeps doing stuff like this that’ll make Liberals mad?

    You’d almost think he pandered to the Hate America crowd just to get elected but is actually reasonable with just honest disagreements here and there as should be normal.

    You mean, he has no core beliefs, and will do what it takes to stay electable in 2012? Like Bill Clinton?

    Not good, but better than the alternative, a dedicated Marxist trying to destroy capitalism and representative democracy.

    Whew!

    Silly old me — Making the comparison with Hitler in regards to Obama — It will be Stalin Obama!

    Totalitarianism by any name is still Totalitarianism, and as you correctly note only the Senate could block the creation of a People’s Republic or the Fourth Reich.

    But will they? The RINO factor says no.

    What I find most amusing is that the far left turned out to be useful idiots for Obama, and he never intended to do what they wanted. I’m waiting for the code pinkers to protest Obama when he sends 30,000 new troops into Afghanistan.

    At least there is something to be thankful for the continued continuity of our military leadership under the next administration. The last thing we need is Obamalamadingdong trying to act like the ROTC reject BJ Clinton and the truly incompetent Les Aspen that interfered with their military experts and caused the disaster of Black Hawk Down. I’m still worried the anointed one will think he is a military expert after 20 Jan 09 and start to get our troops killed in large numbers due to his incompetence, arrogance, and meddling.

    It will never happen. With most of the sheeple, it is all about the party, and nothing deeper.

    The right wing was all upset when Clinton was involved in Bosnia, but they were giddy at the invasion of Iraq.

    As long as your president does it, then it isn’t illegal. It is only immoral and unjust when the other party’s president does it.

    Do you think the war protests will continue under the Obama Regime?

    —————————————

    They may stop, but I predict (even) more vehemence as it becomes clear that Obama intends to continue some Bush policies, especially when it comes to the war.

    It’s already becoming clear that they won’t get all (or any) of what they expected from him. Stock up on popcorn and enjoy the show.

    You confuse right wing with Republican. Many of us on the right are sick of the US being the policemen of the world.
