People have been asking me lately if I believe Obama will get re-elected. After all, he's losing popularity and his policies make our poor disillusioned citizens want to run to the hills and scream.
My answer depends upon how long freedom of speech remains truly free. Between Hate Speech laws and Fairness Doctrines regulating Talk Radio, Obama may just succeed in shutting down all opposition. He is a good speech maker and without anyone around to expose his lies, the man can get away with anything.
However, public reaction is overflowing right now beyond the bounds of media. The current status of Democrat town hall meetings has proven as much. With all that's going on, it will be difficult to quiet free speech. At the very least, I think more than a year is needed to do so. For this reason, I can at least make a prediction about the 2010 election. No, that does not affect Obama specifically, but if he looses his congress, he looses his domestic power.
With such qualifications in mind, I believe that the Republicans will take back both the House and the Senate in 2010. I believe the Democrats are going to be tossed out so fast, they will never know what hit them. And then, the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, and Barbara Boxer will explain that they did not really lose the election. They will cry, "Election Fraud." They will claim that African-Americans and others were intimidated and not allowed out to the polls. It will happen just exactly this way. I do not stand by these words because of any special insight. I say this because our Democratic Party has become just that predictable.
This is Bob Siegel, making the obvious, obvious.
