Exactly. People act as if the presidency is a dictatorship, it is not, we have three branches of government folks, remember that. Despite Bush's attempts to expand the powers of the Executive branch (which I'm hoping, if Obama wins, he'll reverse), the other to branches of government still have the powers to impeach and remove a president from office if he or she goes off the deep end making all of these silly 'Manchurian candidate who will destroy America and turn us over to 'insert boogyman here'" scenarios the scenarios of people who wear tin-foil hats to bed.

This is EXACTLY what I am talking about.

Scary, scary, scary.
If things like that scare you, maybe you should stick to your cookie cutter home in the burbs of Houston.

Just in case - you better buy lots of bottled water and vienna sausages to get your family through it. I think they sell fall out shelters at home depot. But the prices will probably skyrocket come Nov. Better run and get one now. Who knows what will happen when the Obama hits?

Obama's actions have told me he doesn't have a problem with black racist (he's married to one afterall).

Obama knows how to spin, but that is the extent of his abilities.
Wow what a drama queen you are. Anybody you disagree with is probably a racist. Is this all the righty tighties have to offer this fall? You're clinging at straws.

Well thanks, natalay, but my little "bunker" will be much better built than anything you can find at a hardware store. And I for one don't eat pork (sausages). But thanks for the concern. Hope more folks here will take your advice to heart though.

And good metaphor, "when the Obama hits". Yes, will be akin to a tsuname...

No problem! I try to help the challenged whenever possible. They also make those sausages in chicken, I beleive.

Not sure what a tsuname is though... Let me see if I can find that in my handy dandy dictionary.

I am so glad someone remembers that. Seeing as how Bush doesn't allow cameras to film the caskets arriving back from Iraq.

Ahhhh okay I missed it. I thought you were trying to make some really clever metaphor and it went over my head. Or under my nose. Ya know, being an elitist and all my nose is usually up in the air
