What will an Obama concession speech sound like?

That's not gloating. It's the president telling members of Congress that these were particular issues were litigated in the election, and the voters made their choice.

Voters dont litigate.

If you want to use your faulty premise the dems should have rolled over and played dead after 2010. Bad logic is bad.

Annoying tautology is annoying tautology. Can we stop with that?

This is yet another stupid criticism of Obama. Every president comes into office with a greater or lesser mandate to do what the people elected him to do. Usually there is a honeymoon period where Congress recognizes this and doesn't throw up massive resistance to the proposals that got the president elected. Obviously Obama got no deference of any kind.

"I earned capital in this campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it," Bush told reporters. "It is my*style."
 
First is racism, second he was left an impossible mess by Bush and nobody could fix it so it's not his fault. Michelle on the other hand will scream racism racism, racism and will call for riots in the streets, "kill the whiteys"!
 
Mirror to the other thread.



I'm thinking, blaming others.

Let's see. Obama claims he ended the war in Iraq, which he did not. He claims he led the effort to free Libya from Qaddafi, which he did not and he claims he has all but destroyed al Qaeda, which his cluelessness about the situation in Libya (Benghazi) shows he has not.

It's clear what Obama's concession speech will be: "I won the election"; which he did not.

He didnt get deference from his own party? Interesting take.
 
Pick one:

The rules

RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
 
Obama concession speech:

Dat dam honky dun be cheetin, its all raciss an sheeeit,(michelle claps in the background). I be da bes president is hisry, I I I saved dis counry frum dem kochs and evil bankers an sheeit (axelrod seem vomiting). Now I ask my brothas in the city to burn whitey down and shoe em who be boss, I gonna send Biden to Ohio to find dem hangin chads (Biden seen grinning like a cat eating a hair ball). Ah be back, motha f***ers,
 
The general theme would be "don't be discouraged, continue to hope, and to fight. Take comfort that the tide is slowly changing, the country moving in the progressive direction year by year."

And I think he would probably apologize for not living up to the expectations of supporters.

I really don't imagine him coming across angry and snarky at all. That Obama is a strawman of conservative's creation. With a very small exceptions, he has always appeared professional and respectable, which is why his likeability ratings remained so high even while his approval ratings plummeted. Whether it is all an act is open for discussion, but even if it is, I don't expect the charade to drop in his concession speech.

The expectation that he would do otherwise is very revealing, IMO.

I guess people will just have to draw their own conclusions as to whether or not you are a racist.

I have zero worries in that regard. However, they will also draw their conclusions about someone who makes such vile accusations idly.
 
It will sound like this:

My fellow Americans, Michelle and Me have tried..tried to be patient with you but now you have left us no choice. I have alerted the military to arrest all republicans and martial law will be declared to de-gun America. I have declared myself supreme ruler to bring about the change that Marx would be proud of. The Romneys and their family have been arrested and with many other Americans will be put in re-education camps and purified through hard labor. Any American that stands in my way will be executed declared an enemy of the regime....

A lot of racists don't care if people know they're racists. Not saying that YOU fit in that category, but....

When will you believe that racism doesn't exist anymore?

When will you believe that we all consider blacks, Jews, and Muslims to be our brothers?

How many of you are there, brother?

The President will make his speech handing over to his successor at the 2016 Democratic convention.
 
How is this even a thread? This forum has turned into a conservative love fest the last week with the same handful of individuals piggybacking on each other with nothing but rhetoric and hyperbole. Ridiculous.

Obama will be a failed one term president, Jimmy Carter is happy because he is no longer the worst president in history.
Maybe you can elect obama governor of oregon and see if he can ruin your state.

they will never accept that because racism is all they have, its their only tactic.

I'm curious to know why liberals aren't saying anything about the Obama campaign tactic of attacking Romney over Detroit and GM. Have you guys heard the comments the CEO of GM made in China? And how they plan to move their research and developement operations to CHina? For months, Obama has accused Romney of "wanting to let GM go bankrupt", and "move those jobs overseas". Well, now GM is saying they plan to move jobs overseas, when already, 7 out of 10 GM cars are manufactured overseas. 7 out of 10.

You may think this is just "hyperbole" and "rhetoric", but the difference is, our side can actually use the words from people on your side against them.

Ironically, the Detroit newspaper has endorsed Romney as well. Along with other Michigan politicians, including the Governor.

Obama has only used a few weapons this campaign: Romney's taxes, GM bailout, women's vaginas, birth control, and accusing Romney of killing a woman who had cancer. Now, I'm more interested to know why you don't point out THOSE instances of "hyperbole"???? Talk about ridiculousness.

Look, what does it say when hundreds of thousands of people are predicting and threatening violence and riots if Obama doesn't win? Is that not hyberbolic? I'm not surprised, because the left NEVER practices what it preaches. There WILL be riots if Obama loses, whereas, on the other hand, If Romney loses, you wont see that sort of behavior. Speaks volumes if you ask me.....

Stay classy left.....
