A senior US senator has predicted a doomsday scenario for America under the leadership of President Barack Obama unless his powers are curbed.
Senior Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe has slammed the current US administration under Obama and called for a reversal of the president's socialist government polices that have 'stripped America of whatever it has'.
Speaking amongst a gathering of GOP, the Republican Party, supporters on Wednesday, the anti-Obama vocal lawmaker said that unless the opposition minority reclaims authority in Washington's corridors of power within 16 months, the country would suffer from irredeemable consequences.
“I never dreamed I would see an administration try to disavow all the things that have made this country different from all others,” the outspoken critic of Obama's 'over-centralized' government told in a town hall meeting at the Grove Community Center in Oklahoma.
James Mountain "Jim" Inhofe (born November 17, 1934) is an American politician from Oklahoma. A member of the Republican Party, he currently serves as the senior Senator from Oklahoma. He is among the most vocal global warming skeptics in Congress.[1] Inhofe often cites the Bible as the source for his positions on various political issues

Whats your logic? That we should just not worry and allow Obama to do what he wants, because Bush expanded the executive branch? Sorry, I'm not flowing that line of thinking at all.

It's unfortunate that so many of us here will immediately turn this into a "left vs right" discussion when it's CLEARLY not. I happen to agree with the Senators' prediction, and I agree with a previous post that stated that this has been building for a LONG time.
Nixon, Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Bush Sr. and Jr., and now Obama....ALL crooks, ALL bought and paid for via corporate capitalism. You want to blame someone, blame ALL of these former administrations as well as the current one.
The system is broken, and Dems and Repubs are pretty much equally responsible for selling us out for over a century.

If this is your attitude, a defeatist's attitude that, "Well, we're the common man... We can't do anything... It's time to roll over and die..." fine by me!
Me, on the other hand, I'll continue on, hoping and working for a better future. If you can't handle the pressure and think you're in a circle, then you will be.

Alright, I'm DONE with Inhofe!
The man refuses to read the health care bill! - Inhofe - Me no read bill
He also serves as to what is wrong with our country in terms of social policy, such as rights for homosexuals - James Inhofe on the Issues
He's a bad senator!
When you have a guy who refuses to read what's going to be one of the most important pieces of legislation to ever pass through this country, something wrong is going on!
The guy's a nutcase!

The bill would be unconstitutional! Government has no authority to take over healthcare. He plans to vote against it. So why would you need to read a 1,000 page bill that is unconstitutional and you are voting against it???
Any politician that votes for it needs to be impeached and tried for treason for violating their oath to uphold and defend the constitution.
