17. I'm flattered.
I've been around here for a little over 8 years now and I have yet to have been accused of putting up a thread that was "highly dangerous"

I've been called a "plucky boot strap puller" (my personal favorite) but never "dangerous".

Wow.


Cool.


Here's what I think will happen;

Obama will manage to pull something out of his ass, with all due respect, and get the mood turned in his favor. But that is all beside the point. The point is, he is hitting at strikes with the moron opponents the right have put up and unless he has complete idiots for strategists, he can't lose (ie, he should hit them out of the park, to complete the metaphor).


But I'll admit, I could be wrong. And if I am.....well.....we're fucked.

Can you imagine 8 years of Bachmann of Perry?

Your children will be required to recite the fucking ten commandments in school, for fucks sake.
