On October 12th, our TDS commentator James Vega
made three predictions about how Conservatives would respond to an Obama victory. He predicted that they would argue:
1. “the American people don’t really support Barack Obama (they were tricked)…”
2 “true conservatism was not really rejected by the American people (just the overly timid and bumbling John McCain)…”
3. “The Obama administration will be described as basically “illegitimate” and conservatives will assert that they therefore have no obligation to support it”
Now here are some quotes from conservative leader Brent Bozell,
interviewed by Fox News after he emerged from a major meeting of top conservatives today in Virginia:
1. “The American people are fiscally conservative, and the fascinating thing, Bill, is that Barack Obama ran as a Reaganite and won over the public as a fiscal conservative.”
2. “Conservatives didn't play a role in this campaign. This was a moderate Republican against a liberal -- a left-wing Democrat, and the left-wing Democrat beat the moderate Republican.”
3. “Barack Obama does not have the mandate to enact the left-wing agenda he wants to enact…”
Interviewer: what if some of these Senate races that still hang in the balance go the Democratic way? …Would you consider that a mandate?
BOZELL: -- There’s no question of the power that they now have in Washington. The point is that the American people are still on our side.
Geez, maybe we oughta see about getting some royalties here.

CNN Does A Hit Job On ObamaEight years of relatively no criticism of Bush, yet CNN is already trying to spin BS from Obama's first press conference. Maybe CNN doesn't realize that Bush is still in office (until Jan. 20, 2009), and there is still time for them to lambaste him for being the worst President ever, which includes his role in creating the current economic crisis.
