Did you think it possible in August?

Remember when they said Pres. Obama had failed? Remember when they said it was dead?

Yeah, me too.

3. I had my doubts...

...but as long as the polls proved those lunatics wrong - and in the minority - there was hope.

10. I would suggest that we could start with the folks who were holding the Holocaust sign...

.... at the teabagger rally the other day.

But I'd better not.

7. I also remember when they said he didn't have a chance at the nomination

He has consistently outwitted and outmaneuvered the opposition.

Onward and upward, I say!

8. I did. Because I remembered Obama's campaign.

How many times he was counted out; how many times I grew impatient and wanted him to do something, but he always came out ahead anyway.

9. the signs I saw but didn't see

way back last spring when the president was so happy that the big insurance companies were on board..
I was actually happy about that too
I should have thought more about that and been afraid.

the moment I knew it had gone way off the rails
was at Barney Frank's town meeting in August When he was asked flat out..
"Will you vote for Healthcare reform?"

and he said "Probably"... I knew it in that very moment.. We were in deep trouble
If the president didn't have Barney squarely in the Yes camp
He didn't have anybody.

11. Yea they acted like

spoiled children this summer. Every time I had the pleasure of watching a town hall meeting I was reminded of that disgusting woman wearing the purple band aid during their last hate fest. Oh year the Repig national convention some years ago. Really they are a disgusting bunch of people. Well they were not able to derail the will of the people with their hate. Not this time.
