Pat Robertson on Obama's Victory: 'What is Going On with the American People?'

The rightwing meltdown continues - they know they're out of power for at least a generation

The Christian Broadcasting Network put on an election night special and host Pat Robertson appeared to be dumbfounded that President Obama won re-election. Robertson’s guests included Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, Regent University vice president Paul Bonicelli and Romney adviser Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice, the legal group Robertson founded. Barnes reassured Robertson that even if Obama wins, the President “hardly has a mandate for anything” because “this was a status quo election,” as apparently Barnes thinks any incumbent who gets re-elected doesn’t have a mandate. But Sekulow said that Obama will likely appoint two or three justices to the Supreme Court and will use the power of the executive branch to push new “encroachments on liberty and freedom.”

Robertson, who throughout the program held out hope that Karl Rove’s prediction that Romney could win Ohio would materialize, was stunned that Obama was the winner: “What have they got? He doesn’t seem to have any program and yet he’s been able to win a re-election, what is going on with the American people?” Bonicelli said that Americans will spend their next four years “regretting this decision” and Robertson warned that the U.S. is looking more like Western Europe and even Zaire.

Zaire? LOL
That's so wonderfully random. Gotta love crazy Pat!
Of course, if you want to talk Africa, Pat's probably just mad that the U.S. isn't more like Liberia, the home of his pal, ex-dictator and convicted human rights violator Charles Taylor.

Did you ever consider that maybe you're wrong, that you're the problem, that you're on the side of the bad guys??

Africa is a big part of Robertson's personal profits. He owns interests in diamond mines that use human slavery.

Such a "Godly" man.

Didn't that name go out with Mobutu, oh, maybe a decade or so ago? Sorry, Pat, but it's the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I think Pat needs a long vacation. Ceylon is nice this time of year. Or maybe Siam.

LOL I have to laugh at Robertson with his creaky old voice. He has such a terrible time trying to figure things out. He's always in a quandry, poor fool.
