(27,787 posts)Back then, you were sure Obama was DEFINITIVELY going to announce major cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Didn't happen. Its was going to be in his 2010 budget, the summer debt fight ... on and on.
Starting sometime in about the summer of 2010, you started to change your approach to generating outrage. Obama's evil plan just wasn't happening.
And so, Instead of making a specific prediction, you began to simply IMPLY something terrible was about to happen.
Its a great tactic. You get to be outraged, over and over, as do some of the other perpetually disgruntled, even though nothing actually happened.
And you've been doing so ever since. In Obama's first term, I'd say the frequency of your hair-on-fire "Obama's about to kill granny" threads was about every three months. Since Obama's reelection, however, its seems you've increased the frequency to almost once a month.
Clearly Obama's reelection upset you.
Don't worry, he'll only be President for just under 4 more years.
