Congratulations.

Definition of "obstruction:" Opposing the "progressive" agenda.

Doesn't matter how the election actually turns out at this point. If Romney pulls some electoral votes out of the fire, liberals will call it a "stolen" election, and dedicate themselves for the next four years to the destruction of the president. Same as last time.

Nothing any Republican proposes will survive Biden and the Democrats in the Senate, just like the past two years. None of what they do in that regard is considered "obstruction," because it's for a holy cause. Only blocking Democrats is "obstruction," in the same way that only Republicans doing what Democrats want is "bipartisan."

If Obama keeps the win, given the last four years, it will demonstrate that there is literally nothing a Democratic president can do that would be considered a liability to the media and his loyal followers. Nothing.

A Republican with his economic record would probably be up for impeachment by now. I look with amazement back at the economic statistics that cost the first George Bush a second term: 7.3 percent unemployment. A $390 billion deficit (constant dollars). Growth rate 4.5 percent. Democrats back then called that the "worst economy in the last 50 years."

As a special bonus, everything that goes wrong for the next four years will be blamed solely on Republicans in the Congress blocking Obama's Great Leaps Forward. If only the damn Congress would have passed our Leader's new trillion-dollar "stimulus" bill, or all those new taxes, or the law demanding that all cars be electric by the year 2015...

That won't matter either. Obama plans to rule mostly by decree and regulation. I've seen some of the plans already.

And I can't wait for him to tell Putin he finally has the "flexibility" he needs. And God help Israel.

This also demonstrates, win or lose, that maybe we've finally gone past the tipping point as far as the American electorate is concerned. Someone once said that he was less frightened of Obama as president than he was of living in a nation that would re-elect him.
