If we try to kill the Obama presidency before he’s even inaugurated and fail, are we obligated to then try and save that presidency or can we just leave it alone to die?
The clarity of thought presented in #3 is staggering and serves to remind us of the burdens we all share. Among them is procrastination and a unique ability to equivocate on most anything, or not.
Is SarahK going to be doing password protected posts on IMAO? I sure hope she does, I just can’t stand not being part of her secrets. Most normal people would just e-mail the people they wanted to share secret stuff with, but SarahK’s way is so much cooler! I hope it involves the bible and gluten free living!

Indeed, does Presidency begin at Election, or is it only a Presidency once it has reached the full-term of Inauguration? If the Presidency, which half of this couple we call America wants no part of and want to end before Inauguration, doesn’t die, the we’ll just have to rely on leaving it in a soiled linens closet to run it’s term. With hope, its life will be mercifully short.
Should this pregnancy presidency go to full term, will we not regret aborting it in the first, second or third trimester? In fact, does this obamination not represent a zygote that escaped the consequences of primary contraception and is, in fact, the cell produced by the union of two gametes (Hillary and Barack), before it undergoes cleavage? What, under God’s name, have we wrought??
My main concern with Obama is that I do not want him to go the way of JFK – Lots of crappy decisions, a few good ones, and a bullet, equal immortal fame and retrospectives on his “perfection”. I want a long-lived gaffe machine of Jimmy Carter proportions.
My main economic concern with the next four years is that we have handed the keys to the very drunks who crashed it in the first place. We are hearing about propping up Detroit’s unions instead of renegotiating their obscene contracts, and we’ve already bailed out mismanaged banks and insurance companies. Much as Democrats have whined that they want to go back to pre-9/11 policies on defense and bury their heads in the sand, they want to do the same with post-credit-crash economics. They could take a one year correction and turn it into an economy-ending mess.
The net worth of Americans is ten times what it was in 1978. And we’ve officially run out of bubbles. The internet bubble, the real estate bubble, the stock bubble, the credit bubble, all gone. From now on, God willing, economic growth, when it comes after liberalism swings and misses, should be real. Provided the economy lives through it, of course.
Anybody else think Frank J is using this post to toy with Secret Service search engines? If I was doing a keyword search for presidential assassins, I might have accidentally written this post. Big Brother is so reading our nonsense.
Dear Big Brother,
You eat poo. And if you don’t, how do you explain your breath?

This is my favorite fantasy at the moment (calm down I’m old, it’s not even remotely where you mind just went)
It’s Inauguration day. Everyone in the country stays home. The next day the half of the country that did not vote for “the one”, you know the actual workers, go to work, but they go straight home from work. For the next 6 weeks they go to work, go home, they spend money on only the necessities. They do not go out to eat, to the movies, support the arts, or sports teams of any stripe, they don’t go to the casinos, or take vacation, they don’t spend any money whatsoever that isn’t essential to their survival.
Let’s see how well the Libs pick up the slack from the unwashed masses. You know the people who actually run the country, the people on whose back the rest of the country continually walks and then spits as well.
If we only realized how powerful we are, how much the economy depends on our getting out there and spending OUR money, we could do in the Obamites before they even realized what was happening. After all they think all we do is shoot guns and pray. When the shelves start filling up with all that leftover inventory “who they gonna call” Ralph Nadar?
Let’s just not make the same mistakes we made with Carter. After he was voted out of a job he had no business ever being considered for, people treated him as a stupid, but well-meaning, man, instead of recognizing him as the hateful, anti-American, dictator-loving communist he really was (and is).
While I appreciate the sentiments here Frank, you do understand that any Secret Service webbots that come across your post will have you frog-marched out of your house in an orange jumpsuit in 5 minutes. Anything with “kill” “Obama” and “inauguration” all together would probably get you a lot of unwanted attention.
Obligated? To save it? You must be confusing me with someone who loves Marxism.
“Yes.” But only if you throw it into a closet, laundry hamper or dumpster. No wait. “No.”
I think asking for us in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision.
It is as much above my paygrade to answer that question, as it was yours to ask it.

May his Presidency wither on the historical vine, along with our stupid GOP leaders… whoever they are. I don’t know of any. Bueller? Anyone?
Huh?
Joan, if you’re looking at the RNC, you’ll find no leaders there.
Jimmy, I think I may post a response later.
I shan’t let my reticence be contingent on your reply.
Perhaps we should have forced voters to watch a video of past Marxists regimes before allowing them to vote.

Can something be killed before it exists? If not, then we can’t fail to kill it — and thus we are not obligated to do anything once it does exist.
I’m pretty sure of that.
MY mind has official been blown. Is it your obligation to save it?
Just leave it on the cold surgical steel tray of reality.
It seems that is all I can do…
It’s simple, really — is the President-Elect really a President, or is he just a “potential President”?
I’m sure Obama would not want the nation to be burdened with a dead presidency. Therefore, he should issue a verbal DNR order at the inauguration.
Indeed, does Presidency begin at Election, or is it only a Presidency once it has reached the full-term of Inauguration? If the Presidency, which half of this couple we call America wants no part of and want to end before Inauguration, doesn’t die, the we’ll just have to rely on leaving it in a soiled linens closet to run it’s term.

NO.

pregnancypresidency go to full term, will we not regret aborting it in the first, second or third trimester? In fact, does this obamination not represent a zygote that escaped the consequences of primary contraception and is, in fact, the cell produced by the union of two gametes (Hillary and Barack), before it undergoes cleavage? What, under God’s name, have we wrought??Personally, I think adoption is a better option. Is, like, Bolivia or Venezuala or someone looking for a new President?

Ewww, #21 used “Hillary” and “cleavage” in the same sentence.
Frank/spacemonkey,
Where can I get the password for the next post?
Let this turkey’s balls be smashed on the anvil of retribution with a ball peen hammer.
Marko, dunno if I’m allowed to give it away but it is an acronym and reminds me of the Transvaal in South Africa.
Where is my freaking password???
Yeah, I already tried that one, innominatus.
Doh, I forgot the capitalization. Nevermind.

I’m digging that. Only the necessities. Food, gas, bills. I’m all for the boycott of Frivolity.
I’ve been living that way for years! Gosh, I’m a trend-setter!
