It means nothing less than the tread marks across the soul of the opposition party.
Playing patty-cake with criminals and cowards isn't a way to lead, it's a way to get sucked under and drown in your own cowardice.
And to think that a neanderthal republican in this article is quoted as saying this about the potential for the Obama presidency: "More likely is a slide to socialism or, perhaps, just an inept presidency". I think that it's safe to say that IF Obama survives the racism and hatred and potential for many attacks, both physical and verbal, it will be the later that will forever brand his presidency.
Republicans have nothing to fear ironically over the Obama presidency for it already has the markings of a very moderate republican agenda and that's a hell of a lot better for the country than the hard right neo-fascistic agenda of the Bushies and light years off axis from the democrat agenda they so much fear...
Obama won't be another Carter but the democratic party core that mobilized to elect Obama may end up wishing it was only that bad...
The Obama presidency: a rest stop on the road to the complete fascistic takeover of this country. Enjoy it while the four years last... He's the best advertisement for the republican cause in years. A breath of fresh air to their party and its agenda.
Maybe the critics were right, maybe Obama is to naive to lead this or any other country.
