4 things that conservatives predicted with an Obama relection

[Travis]

Interesting little fluff article. For those that don't want to actually go through it here are the (wrong) predictions.

1) Gas was supposed to be $6 a gallon because no Keystone pipeline.
2) Unemployment was supposed to still be sky high.
3) The stock market was supposed to have hit rock bottom.
4) California was supposed to collapse leading to red states being forced to bail it out.

Basically a bunch of nonsense that Obama would crash the economy in various ways because he hates America.

I like the RV. "The right to bare arms against the government."
Admit it Travis, you're one of those libtard long-sleevers aren't you?

Don't worry, I'm sure that there's a way of spinning this to make Obama look bad.

1. Low petrol (gas) prices that Obama has caused are detroying the U.S. oil industry - Obama is forcing the U.S. into the arms of his fellow Muslims by increasing U.S. dependence on oil from the Middle East
2. The so-called drop in unemployment is due to massaging the figures and forcing people out of the job market. Also the jobs people are getting aren't real job and so you cannot support a family on them and in any case falling unemployment is an attack on business because low unemployment will lead to higher wages which will make it more difficult for the wealth creators to create wealth for themselves
3. Although it seems that the stock market is doing well, it's just a debt filled bubble. Although a Republican President wouldn't have presided over anything like this kind of growth, at least it would have been honest sustainable growth
4. California has relied on the red states to bail it out, without the inflow of labour from red states, California would not have anything like the economic growth it has had

How's that ? Should I apply for a job at Fox News or am I still far too leftist and Obama-loving ?

Hm. Could you deny or somehow otherwise distort some science in there?

You forgot all the guns being confiscated.

I remember back in mid-2008, flawless prognosticator Michael Savage predicted that if Obama were elected in the first place, California's cities would be overrun with armies of illegal immigrants, running rampant in the streets robbing and killing good, decent Americans.

I must have missed that on the news...

My favorite sign on that vehicle is the one that says:


UFO'S ARE THE ANGLES
IN THE BIBLE.
UFO'S DID ALL THE MIRACLES
IN THE BIBLE.


One cannot argue a logic like that.

I'm just glad we turned into a Muslim state. Praise Allah.

And that Shariah law has taken a firm hold throughout the country.

Let's not forget the introduction of Marxism-Leninism, comrade.

I only know that in order to interpret the bible fairly you need to spin the angle in such a way that all acts are good if god is behind them, by definition. all other angles are the result of "pseudo-skeptics" and devout atheists trying to get back at god and his children because they want to sin.

(wow this nonsense is surprisingly easy to write)

Well that's the government controlled MSM for you

And the forced Islamic Gay Marriages.

Ugh!

You are right, I made a mistake in my original posting and now it is too late for me to change it; so I posted it below instead.

But thanks much for the amusing, yet quite factual, correction.

And how did the MSM not cover the seizure of all privately owned guns?

I feel this belongs here.

CEO Who Said He’d Probably Have To Fire Employees If Obama Won Is Now Giving Them Raises

In the lead-up to the 2012 presidential election, David Siegel, billionaire chief of Florida timeshare company Westgate Resorts, sent an email to all employees. “Of course, as your employer, I can’t tell you whom to vote for,” Siegel wrote, but offered “a few facts that might help you decide what is in your best interest.” These included that re-electing Obama would “threaten your job” and result in “less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone.”

Just over two years after penning that company-wide email, Siegel informed Westgate employees that instead of layoffs, he would boost their minimum wage to $10 per hour beginning in 2015.

Also found this in the annuls of history:

Obama won't be able to achieve much at all

Even when he probably gets elected, there's not much he can change that is upsetting the American Public.

* Health. Can't dare touch that.
* Energy. Can't do much about that either.
* Food Prices. Nup.
* Middle East. Not a lot.
* Special Interest Groups and Lobbies. Don't dare touch that either.
* Working for a wage below the poverty line. Only a communist would even dare think about that.

There are more predictions in the thread. Some hits. Some misses. Some spectacular hits and misses.

Lesson learned: Predictions aren't worth the internet they're printed on.
