"Plans for the strike were developed well before
the terrorist attacks." NYT. Riiiiiight.
"This might bring a tear to your eye. It did to mine."
LDotter: "Judy W."
This light weight already has the Benghazi coverup
to account for. Here's the next.
Thank you, Gov. May this be the start of a powerful trend.
While Senator Cruz rants against Obama's policies and lies, the LSM repeatably ignores his words.
Somehow, this doesn't make one feel any safer.
Obama continues to set "enemy combatants" free as
terrorist killing civilian "targets" is ramping up.
It's not enough to say who isn't the terrorist, but rather
who you know is.
"Nail" isn't quite as strong as desired
but it will do for now.

Why, Jersey?
DeleteBecause you indulged in vituperation, vilification, denigration, accusation without foundation.
Please see comment immediately below from 7:42 AM. It was directed at you, and anyone else who just wants to be thoughtlessly rude without giving reasons or their attitude.
I don't even remember what I wrote, but I do recall getting sick to death of the stupid right wing demand that the President phrase things a certain way. Screw them. If I were Obama, I'd go out of my way to avoid using their terms.
DeleteJMJ
To put it bluntly, Jersey "we"much prefer to call a spade a SPADE, and eschew the use of fanciful, quasi-erudite circumlocutions such as "a digging implement," "a gardening aid," or "a groundbreaking tool."
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with calling a toilet a TOILET. It is not "a commode," "a powder room," "a vessel for the disposal of waste products." Toilet covers it nicely, and is not impolite whereas "a PISSPOT," or "a SHIT POT," would be unnecessarily crude and vulgar. "Latrine," "privy," or even an "Outhouse" are useful terms also, but SHIT HOUSE really should be avoided in most instances. ;-)
CAPICHE!?
No. Political debate would be just as inappropriate is the same circumstances as it would be inappropriate to use vulgarity. You are not a child. You are not a nun. You are not a mom at the dinner table. This is not a preschool. This is not a mass. This is not with mom at the dinner table. You're just being selectively prude.

This is not about ME per se, Jersey. It is about our near-desperate, not-very-successful attempt to keep the tone and quality of our rhetoric OUT of the GUTTER.
DeleteThis is MY blog, and I have every right to do whatever I can to set the tone here. If our guests don't behave according to the standards we set, they are subject to polite-but-firm eviction.

ReplyDeleteWhen America fails to lead it puts the entire world in danger..Obama once again fails to lead..And is partially responsible for these murders..Because he's been playing games and not getting a handle on these Extremists. !! Demand it..
Some things are worth fighting for, our very way of life and civilization is one of them.
ReplyDeleteBut there are those who don’t give a dame about America’s way of life, or American’s History, there are those American’s who Hate America's traditions, and who wants to fundamentally change America! And you know who they are, you know exactly who they are.
So what, if anything are we going to do about this? I just heard Michigan is not going to let any refugees come into the state. That is probably very wise because Dearborn Michigan is the Arab capital of America. There is no doubt we have sleeper cells there in Dearborn Michigan.
If we allow thousands Muslims Refugees move in to America like Obama is going to do, no doubt about it, would they live together in a city where they can assimilate, would they Americanize? Or would some of these refugees plot and unite and wage war on us. We don’t know, and we will never know. We will never know anything about them.
What we DO know is that the Syrians claimed more than 4,000 trained ISIS gunmen have already been smuggled into Europe and are hidden among innocent refugees. Who can tell who’s who? NO ONE can!
These ISIS terrorists, are not the stupid Dessert Rats that we may think they are, they are very smart, and they use modern technoloy, some that even we are not acquainted with, the use local smugglers to blend in and travel within the ranks of a tidal wave of illegal migrants flooding into Europe, both by boat from North Africa and on land through Hungary and Austria into Germany, Belgium and Sweden. And now America. Yes America, they are already here. Just incase you missed it while you were watching Dancing with the Stars, or the Football games yesterday . Syrian refugees have already arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana, and they are here to stay! Say Thank You to Mr. Obama for that!
Does anyone remember being asked as to our opinion on bringing massive amounts of Muslims into the US? We are now living in a country where the citizens have no say on any actions taken by the government. I was under the impression that we elected representatives to speak out for us but I don’t hear any uproar about this egregious action. In the media (newspapers, tv) you see minor reporting about the Muslim invasion of Europe, but I have not seen any coverage from MSM or Fox. Is this issue too PC to even mention? We are left with absolutely no representation. They are too involved in raising the debt limit. I guess Obama waved his wand and just used his "Executive Orders" once again..
He's already signed 33% more presidential memoranda ( executive orders) in less than six years than Bush did in eight.
Doesn’t anyone think that with the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday, maybe we should be rethinking about our strategy of bringing Syrians here to America and decide whether or not it puts American lives at a risk? HUH? Anyone?
I for one am very sick of seeing my Facebook loaded with all the Peace Loving Bleeding Hearts with little or NO anger about the fact that as Americans we have been attack and we better come to grips with the fact that we ARE at war with Radical Islamic Terrorism. NO more Political Correctness Crap about climate change, no more lies about ISIS being contained or Al Qaeda on there heels, and no more Political Correctness Crap about how everyone should get handouts, welfare, EBT cards, and Free College, Free Lunch, everything for free!! I’m sick of the Government giving handouts, and everything else to these lazy bums who don't want to work
Time to strap it on and defend our nation inside, at our borders, and at the head of the snake. NO more PC words and enabling these bottom feeders , this has NOT worked with these people, they only take advantage of it.
If you're going to post such copious remarks, Anita, please use that space, as I have suggested in the recent past. You were doing better for a while, but old (bad) habits die hard. Please try to be more vigilant. You're more apt to be taken seriously, if you do.
DeleteDue to my conservative thinking and posting on Facebook, my old Liberals “Friends” as well as the liberal members of my family have deserted my Facebook page. Some have even de-friended me.. They even never meet me socially. This is ridiculous if not totally stupid and child-like, but I'm ok with that. the times we've discussed politics they always shown their ignorance of the issue. You cant fix willful stupid.
ReplyDeleteYou can't fix willful stupidity.
DeleteChild-like is good. Childish is not good.
... they always shown their ignorance of the issue.
DeleteThey are likely making the same observation.
Ignorance is your view of their position. Perhaps it is. Maybe it isn't.
Isn’t it amazing how the progressive morons continue to polarize world events into political factions; as if they, the enlightened elite, would somehow be immune from a terrorist attack because they understood the “context” of the situation.
ReplyDeleteThey never seem to miss the opportunity to politicize a tragedy As soon as the news of the attacks in Paris broke, even though there was no evidence and practically nothing was known about the attackers, the lefties were there to blame the right-wingers... And immediately blamed the violence as an opportunity to demonize the Republicans.
Obama has lead. Intelligent and measured. Reasoned and logical. Long term he has enunciated the single best approach. History will bear this out.
ReplyDeleteNot doing what some want does NOT mean the President is not leading. It means he is not making some happy.
And what makes you think you are "sane?"
DeleteApparently, you are a leftist, and that automatically qualifies you being of UNSOUND mind. ;-)
The first thing that we have realize is that these people are not “refugees.” They are invaders; soldiers of Allah: What is unfolding is hijra, otherwise known as immigration jihad. It is written in the Quran and is a powerful strategy the Islamic world has used for many centuries to overwhelm nations and assert dominance
ReplyDeleteYou heard the expression "buyer beware " . Well this applies to the situation we are talking about perfectly.
ReplyDeleteObama just sounded like a Fool,and a Coward on National TV. Instead of standing with France, Britain, Egypt, Russia and Germany to say we will kill these bastards he said no we are sticking with our strategy. What strategy? He also doubled down on the refugees ,and got really angry when someone suggested we not allow them in the US. Texas and Michigan Governors said NO ! We will not take any refugees NO Thank you.
Look at ALL of the Arab Nation who are saying NO as well. Ask them Why Not?
ReplyDeleteIt's this tolerance crap that has us in a position that we feel we need to take these drastic measures to protect ourselves. Stop worrying about other people's feelings and worry about protecting ourselves! France let in refugees and terrorist came in with them. Do you really want to risk that happening here???? Wake up people! America is next!!! Let's hope not, but let's be prepared
Obama continues to set "enemy combatants" free as
ReplyDeleteterrorist killing civilian "targets" is ramping up.

Hardly. It's probably different for you, FT but imprisoning someone for 14 years without charges is not consistent with our better values.
Sure it is. Americans have always been suckers for "justice". :)

I agree they should never have been imprisoned at Guantanamo, they should have been summarily EXECUTED on capture.
Get off your lazy ass and fight! You're an embarassment to the United States. There's no reason whatsoever a ragtag bunch of religious zealots should be able to to walk down the street in the 21st century unless it's because global powers wish them to be able to.
ReplyDeleteWe have the most ridiculously powerful military just idling while you sit around twiddling your thumbs. President Bush may have been slow, but you're positively inert.
Get off your ass!
It might help if you addressed your comment to a specific individual, Edward.
DeleteI was referring to his LACK of action regarding ISIS.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing the people on those wacked out TParty blogs know is hate, contempt, and more hate, especially for President Obama. Hate is the fuel that drives them to say the stupid things like the person who said no Muslims condemned the Paris massacres, that and their bottomless stupidity. I have to qualify this by saying it isn't all conservatives -- there are plenty of them that are rational and thoughtful, but the ones that have taken over the GOP are about as stupid as stupid can get. Think about the two jackasses they're supporting for the presidency, that tells you all you have to know.
ReplyDeleteIt’s because of Obama’s failed policies, and his leading from behind policy that led to this growth of ISIS. Obama owns it. I don’t want to hear anymore of the :It’s Bush’s fault” BS.
ReplyDeleteIn short we should have voted him POUT in the last election, maybe, and hopefully this election we can rectify that.
So then, conservatives, what is your great plan?
ReplyDeleteJMJ
1. REPEAL OBAMACARE, and replace it with something sane and workable that will be fair to everyone. ALL MEDICAL EXPENSES –– including the cost of health insurance –– should be totally TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Set up MEDICAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS EXEMPT from TAXATION. Insurance must be made PORTABLE and COMPETITIVE. Very poor people SHOULD be eligible for financial assistance in paying their medical bills.
Delete2. DISSOLVE the VA, privatize existing VA Hospitals and make standard medical care in ALL medical facilities available to Veterans FREE of CHARGE.
3. SEAL our BORDERS, and cease issuing even VISITORS visas to MUSLIMS and those who are known to SYMPATHIZE with MUSLIMS.
4. Grant PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS to the ILLEGAL ALIENS who've been here at least five years, who have WORKED, learned at least rudimentary ENGLISH, never been on WELFARE or FOOD STAMPS and NEVER COMMITTED a CRIME. All UNDESIRABLE illegal aliens –– gangsters, thieves, drunks, drug addicts, bums, freeloaders, welfare mothers, etc. should be summarily DEPORTED.
5. REPEAL BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP. PERIOD!
6. Force citizens to open and pay into IRA'S instead of forcing them to pay Social Security taxes. Extremely low-income workers should receive assitance in funding their IRA'S, but as much as possible GET RID of BUREAUCRACY andd return control to PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS.
7. END CORPORATE WELFARE.
8. END CRONY CAPITALISM.
9. BUILD the STRONGEST POSSIBLE DEFENSE.
10. END overseas INTERVENTION.
11. TEST and SCREEN ALL STUDENTS by age 12 to see if they are fit to benefit from a college education. Those who are not, should be sent to TRADE SCHOOLS or APPRENTICED to MASTER PLUMBERS, CARPENTERS and ELECTRICIANS, etc.
12. FOSTER a POSITIVE ATTITUDE toward MENIAL WORK. Such people are always much needed, and should be respected, honored and well paid for. At the same time DISINCENTIVISE the increasing ROBOTIZATION of society.
How that for starters?
Let's see:
Delete1. A fairly sound plan. I could probably support it.
2. The logistics are difficult but again, it has some merit.
3. Smacks of discrimination. Muslims have been much more productive in the U.S. than some other immigrant classes. Needs serious reworking.
4. I think the Gang of 8 had proposed something similar and it was shot down in the House. Much better than the Trump plan of simply deporting them, however.
5. Really not a serious issue in my opinion. Much trouble for no benefit.
6. Problem is that you expose working class wealth to the Wall St. flambeurs. Bad mojo.
7. Yes. How?
8. See above.
9. We already have more than we rationally need. Our setbacks have resulted from not knowing how to properly utilize the armed forces.
10. Agreed.
11. Unfortunately the screening is being done largely by class and the trades jobs are going to low paid immigrants.
12. The large scale menial work is off shore. Corporations are going to continue automation to increase profits. Socialize the costs, privatize the profit.
Kapital loves that. It's unworkable.
I'm sorry, FreeThinke, but if that's the platform, you can be sure you don't have my vote. I don't even know why you want some of those things, some seem contradictory, others so vague as to be meaningless, others utterly recklessly naive, and you finish up with some sort of government child farming. Sorry, I'm a Nay.

After listening to Barack the Magic Negro's speech today it has become obvious, we are seeing something previously unimaginable.......a French president having more balls then an American president
FreeThinke November 16, 2015 at 11:54 AM
But, America hasn't had an AMERICAN president for the past seven years.
Barack was deliberately raised to be a virulent ANTI-AMERICAN. His grandparents were COMMUNISTS and they raised their daughter Stanley Ann Dunham to REJECT traditional American ideals and values. The virtually FORBADE her to sleep with normal, white American boys and practically ORDERED her to date NON-WHITES ONLY and to get pregnant by a NEGRO asap. Love and marriage had nothing to do with it. This was a CALCULATED AFFRONT to American middle class morality and part of an OFFENSIVE movement to undermine and destroy Western Christian Capitalist Civilization.
WIth a vile, perverted background like that, how could poor little Barack ever have had a chance to be anything but the despicable, cold-hearted leftist SHIT he is?
Brainless, dangerous, and pathetic.

The TRUTH is always deeply offensive to committed Marxists, Parlor Pinks, Assachusettsians, Latte Leftists, Proglodytes and their Fellow Travelers, isn't it?
I stand by my remarks, because they are a statement of absolute, irrefutable truth, but at the same time recommend that AOW delete all of this, because it is both unsavory and decidedly OFF-TOPIC –– something I refuse to permit at my place.
AOW, of course, will do as she wishes.
I am not the least bit concerned about what anyone I do not respect thinks of me.
FreeThinke November 17, 2015 at 7:28:00 AM EST
Oh! And I forgot in the melee to mention that Barack, our Bastard President, was a member for twenty years of a vile pseudo-Christian "church" where the vicious racist "pastor," Jeremiah Wright, preached hatred, subversion, sedition, rebellion, treason and contempt.
How could we possibly forget the video of Pastor Wright hurling "GOD DAMN, AMERICA!" from his putrid pulpit?
And WHY was that ALONE not enough to STOP us from electing The Black Knight?
Another unpalatable, deeply unpleasant truth is that it is entirely OUR fault as a PEOPLE that we have allowed ourselves to be brought so low as not only to ACCEPT –– but to EMBRACE –– the totally, irremediably, irredeemably UNACCEPTABLE.
I have reposted that unsavory series of here, because I feel it likely that our friend, AOW, will delete it, because she would not stomach it at her blog.
Nevertheless, I STAND BY EVERY WORD I SAID, and I want that to be ON the RECORD.
This is What President Obama actually said... NOT what the Tbaggers said that he said!
ReplyDeleteDuring a press conference following ISIS terror attacks in Paris, President Obama said he was "not interested" in "American leadership, or America winning."
That, of course, is a bald-faced lie on what President Obama said in CONTEXT. But the dishonesty of the far right took it out of context and spread it all over their news sites and blogs like so much horse crap, because that's what they deal in all the time -- piles of horse crap, and their followers eat it up like candy, because they relish their hatred; it's their life's blood and what keeps the poor unfortunates alive.
Ignore the GOPeers freaks, and those a-hole Bagger Bloggers,. They're not honest on any level and a disgrace to this country.
I LISTENED to OBAMA drone on yesterday. His address was a DISGRACE.
DeleteIt is feeble-minded fabricators, prevaricators, distortionists, propagandists, liberal lickspittles and toadying ignoramuses such as yourself who do nothing BUT misrepresent the truth who should (figuratively) be put in the stocks and horsewhipped. ;-)
I agree, and he not only looked stupid, but he was an embarrassment .
DeleteThere is a logic and purpose behind every savage act, perhaps instead of spending so much time, effort, and money in degrading these people, we should spend a little time and try to understand why they are doing these things.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we need to try and Understand their motives
We must try harder to understand why these few Muslims are doing these horrific acts.
DeleteNo matter what the righties tell you, these acts are done by a very small fraction of the Muslim community.we can not condem the entire Muslim race for the acts of a few.
The people who refuse to do so and who blame all Muslims for the atrocities of the few would not tolerate people blaming all Christians for the terrorists in the Christian KKK, or blaming all Catholics for the pedophile priests, or all Irish men and women for the IRA terrorist attacks.
The calls for the extermination of all Muslims is an atrocity in itself, but the people doing so haven't the ability to understand this.
We must try harder to understand why these few Muslims are doing these horrific acts.
DeleteIn the absence of a consensus (or even a plausible theory) on the Left, we can only conclude that the Right is correct. It IS Islam.
...of course, like the Left, we could ignore what the Islamists are telling us when they scream "Allah Akbar".
DeleteI don't want to "understand" them. I want to KILL them. PERIOD!
DeleteWho is the idiot that wrote the comment above???
ReplyDeleteTerrorism cannot be allowed to stand or tolerated whether it is in the form of murderous thugs who kill in the name of Allah or politically correct Imams who use the fear of offending and/or recruitment as a tool to force an agenda or a Mosque. Or the little punk who runs around in the dark burring down our churches or synagogues. We as a Nation have grown since 9/11 and though we still sorrow over the thousands who were killed we remember the fallen and continue on as Americans. We owe it to them and to future generations of Americans to not allow fear of offending nor being politically correct to jeopardize our resolve in destroying the very terrorism that killed so many on 9/11. We saw the enemy and we must not fail to defeat him or let fear of offending allow wrong to prevail and right to fall victim to terror
So, your solution then is esensially genocide. Wow! How American value centered of you.
DeleteThe Islamists solution is genocide. Are you saying that tit-for-tat isn't a viable solution?
DeleteDeath to America! :)
What sleaze, this right wing narrative that somehow "political correctness" is keeping America from eradicating terrorism. Grow up. be honest. Say what you mean. How exactly is political correctness standing in the way of defeating terrorism? Say what you really mean. You want to commit genocide.

The lefties on this board are openly excusing the terror attacks carried out by Muslim extremists in Paris in several threads on this board. Claiming it is no worse then mass shootings in this Country and that organized terror campaigns carried out by Islamist are no worse then the occasional random acts of crazy people in this Country.
ReplyDeleteThis is the midset of the progressives in America today and this is why they must be defeated next November,
France allowed THOUSANDS of Muslims in from the Middle East, mostly military age men with OUT families. Guess whom else plans the same thing for right here in the USA .
Are we going to go doen that insane line as well? Or will we say NO, to obama and his leftist cronies!
The US Government plans to allow THOUSANDS of single men from Syria into this Country. And the left applauds that decision and makes excuses for their obvious hatred of our way of life
After a review of this post thread it is clear your allegations lodged in your comment are inaccurate and incorrect.
DeleteFear, anger, and hatred causes one to suspend rational thought and supplant it with an irrational desire to destroy not only the guilty minority but an entire people.
Fact... Syrians leaving Syria are leaving to escape the violence of ISIS in their own country. Violence they abhor.
Fact... Muslims the world over have denounced the actions of ISIS and it is the Muslim nations doing the heavy lifting and sustaining lion's share of loss of life.
Think outside the box. Your cold war paradigm thinking is outdated and ineffective in the 21st century and the present threat.
Violence they abhor.
DeleteEvidence?
sustaining lion's share of loss of life.
They're doing the lions share of killing, as well. what's your point?
Why think outside the box, when the box is screaming "Allah Akbar"? I can HEAR the box.
I'd have to be DEAF and a pompously stupid ideologue to think they were motivated by anything OTHER than Islam.
DeleteBut who knows. I'm sure that the following has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Islam...
Deletefrom "Women of the Islamic State: A manifesto on women by the Al-Khanssaa Brigade
Thanks be to God, who revived for us the State of Islam, and upon his Prophet may we bestow the best of prayer and peace. Thanks be to God [whose rule has been] returned to us, after decades of humiliation and surrender, since the Ottoman Caliphate fell and was replaced by Arab regimes and their clients who were supported by the enemies of religion. Because of this military, economic and intellectual occupation of Muslim civilisation, Islamic thought derived from the Book and Sunnah became estranged from the lives of people and, hence, Western colonialism was able to continue spreading impure culture and atheism among Muslims, wherever they might live. Since this time, true Islamic society, which understands the idea of this world and operates under the principle of worship, “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship me” (Quran 51:56).
With the rise of the sun of the Caliphate, the star of true religion, the straying of Muslim generations ceased after many decades. The era of Western dominance andits influence on our lifestyle and way of living has passed, whether it is regarding its social, educational, economic (especially regarding money) or medical and industrial aspects. It was all aspects of life. The clearest assertion of independence from the unbelieving West came in the abolition of the usurious paper money that Muslims had grown accustomed to and its replacement with dinars and dirhams, as the Prophet (pbuh) declared to his Companions was the best and purest way, a method which the people used and set their prices with it precisely. It was a method that had many economic benefits, the greatest of which was its ability to quit the people of usury, which is something that, for those who use paper money, cannot be avoided. Indeed, the global system is based upon laws built around the use of paper money and is, hence, built upon a system of usury. There are no banks that do not operate in a usurious manner, apart from in our Islamic State. Every bank [around the world] is linked to all the others through a series of transactions which do not satisfy the Lord, all because the tyranny of capitalism has been imposed upon the people against their will.
The Islamic society that emerged with the establishment of the Islamic State in the lands of Iraq and Syria is a society formed, first and foremost, to worship the one and only God. Everything that conflicts with this purpose is bound to Hell. This Islamic community, which is only as the beginning of its formation, needs more time and effort until it can return to the first picture [of a Muslim community], the time of the rule of the Prophet and the Rightly Guided Caliphs, when everyone in it fulfilled their Rightly ordained roles. Foremost among the first people that we refer to are Muslim women, members of their Islamic community. In that day, they had a role. Today, too, they have a role, one which is derived from the principles of Islamic law and its teachings.
Obama is the absolute worst president this country has ever had. He is a muslim sympathizer anyone who can't see that by now is an idiot. He has done nothing to protect this great country. He actually called the attacked on Paris a "setback"! Are you kidding? He is a traitor.
ReplyDeleteI've got news for you Ms. "Progressive" The only ones to blame for the attacks are the radical islamist muslim terrorists that carried it out, and no one else you Obama worshipping liberal POS, so get the hell out of here And take all your lousy Bottom feeders with you.

ReplyDeleteToday's rant is addressed to those who think we should not allow Syrian or other Muslim/Arabs into the country. You know who you are. It's people like this blog owner, and the ahold at the skank tank. Perhaps you're Italian-American, like, say, Scalia or Alito. You might want to look up the Sacco-Vanzetti persecution/prosecution, as dangerous anarchists flowed into a sleeping USA from the swarthy south of Europe. Or the Nisei internment during World War II and the Korematsu case. Or the naked racism of the Chinese Exclusion Act and the McCarran-Walter quotas. A few other things. Not a one of which is to the credit of the USA in retrospect. Meanwhile, there's close to universal agreement that all those prior immigrant groups have made significant contributions to the country, and now are fully accepted as Americans, even if Italian-Americans still eat Italian food, Irish-Americans still fly the Irish flag alongside the American flag, like that. We have responded with fear and bigotry to immigrants before. Not once was that justified.
ReplyDeleteIsn't your presence justification enough?
DeleteFalse equivalencies all. As it so happens, I do come from an Italian family on my mother's side. I've told the story too many times already.
DeleteThere is no comparison whatsoever to Europeans in the Great Migration taking a gamble to come to "The Land of Opportunity" in an attempt to better themselves, and allowing followers of the demon Mohammed who worship Satan under the name of Allah, to infiltrate our society fully intending to destroy it from within.

ReplyDeleteKerry, the (so called) U.S. Secretary of State, just said that a terrorist attack was done with a “rationale” because the attackers were “angry… of this and that.” He originally said they were “legitimate,” but corrected his statement midstream but the gist remains the same.
ReplyDeleteThese are the people that Obama had running our American foreign policy.
This is what you can expect more of with Hillsry Clinton as your president.
Please don't let that happen.
