President Obama

Fuck.  You.

Update:  Obama's immediate hubris, arrogance and lack of nuance in the first week of his presidency confirms my greatest fear.

This is the end game for the left.  They believe the 2008 election was the G.O.P.'s Waterloo. 

They aren't just going to lead from the center in an attempt to maintain slim electoral majorities.  They intend this to be the end.  Obama believes they have enough momentum and majority to finish it and they will act with all the entitlement and lack of diplomacy that such a mentality implies.

Some predictions.  They will, before the end of this term, remove the Senate rule that requires 60 votes to close debate; the so-called Nuclear Option.  They will also attempt to bring back the Fairness Doctrine (as a commenter points out). 

In their mind, this is the last 8 years of two-party Democracy in America.  And why not?  A bare majority of the population which will only grow with increased entitlements and (il)legal immigration.  Soon, a majority of American's will take more from the government than they put in, ensuring that those that pay for government will be too few to change anything.  They have a media so supportive that they come with an underwire. 

They have every advantage and this time there will be no pussy-footing around.  This is for keeps. 

Don't say you weren't warned.

1 Here comes the Fairness Doctrine.   Who can sense the chilling wind?

Hubris hampered Clinton's first two years.  If they try to kill off the Right once and for all, they'll reap the whirlwind.

The GOP rose from the ashes of the Whigs.  The idiocracy of the Left might be able to stamp down the party, but they can't kill conservatism.

I only brought up the Fairness Doctrine because if I were inclined to get it through, I would do so under the aegis of being the best way to get things done for the country.

I don't want to sound unhinged.  That is what I think.

He may very well just like using the bully-pulpit steer people to his preferred communication channels. 

I am confident that even liberals (the ones who don't work in D.C.) would be appalled by the Fairness Doctrine, so it probably isn't that likely.  However, seeing Chuckie Schumer salivate while comparing political censorship to "decency" censorship is not very encouraging.

8 May I suggest that if such a think happens (and I think you very well could be right), we are headed toward war on our own country fought by those who wish to take up arms and save our republic!? Good post. Was suggested to me on twitter. :-) Oh, and p.s. with Obama, anything is likely, so don't be so sure he won't somehow get that fairness doctrine passed after his latest slam at Limbaugh.
