Hey, we didn’t quite get universal health care, but my one serious prediction was closer to the mark than any of the right-wing crazy in the OP! But Obama really needs to get to work on raping more white bitches with his big black dick. ---

> [@Lemur866](#): > > So…suggesting that Israel should use the 1967 borders with agreed upon swaps is equivalent to abandoning them? > > No it ain’t. That was the one “prediction” that I thought was closest to reality - and it was not in the same galactic megacluster as reality. When you look up “non-starter” in a dictionary, you should see Obama’s proposal of Israel returning to its 1966 borders. Not going to happen. So the predictions in the OP are still 0 for 10. ---

I could not read the entire screed, but can someone explain to me why capital-c Conservatives, the loudest advocates of personal responsibility, think prosecuting people for the crimes they actually committed is a bad thing. Oh wait, It’s OK If You’re A Republican. :rolleyes: :barf: On the other side, there is this quote ([linky](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sarah_Vowell#Sourced)) [QUOTE=Sarah Vowell] I talk about going to his (George W. Bush’s) Inauguration and crying when he took the oath, 'cause I was so afraid he was going to “wreck the economy and muck up the drinking water”… the failure of my pessimistic imagination at that moment boggles my mind now.

> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > I think that when Obama is elected, he’ll sign any piece of anti-gun legislation that’s handed to him. I think he’ll be signing them so fast, he’ll go through a case of pens. Other than that, those are pretty silly predictions. You still want to stand by this? What basis did you ever have to believe it in the first place? ---

Cite? Obama hasn’t signed or asked for a single piece of gun control legislation that I’m aware of. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Obama hasn’t signed or asked for a single piece of gun control legislation that I’m aware of. Yeah, but compared to other politicians who never tried to get any gun laws passed, he’s very strongly anti-gun. Apparently. ---

> [@The\_Hamster\_King](#): > > But Obama really needs to get to work on raping more white bitches with his big black dick. It’s a problem; they keep saying “yes”. How can he rape anyone if they keep saying “yes”?! It’s really detrimental to his Rape White Women program.
