President Obama today announced that he will change political party affiliation for the remaining 2 years of his presidential term from Democratic to Republican Party.

The change will take place immediately and Obama is expected to meet with GOP chairman Reince Priebus to discuss transition plans early next week. The move will likely shake up Obama’s staffing and Cabinet appointments as more Republican officials are moved into those positions.

While the move comes after an overwhelming Republican victory in the midterm elections, Obama says this is a move he has considered for quite a while.

“I actually debated on swapping ahead of the 2012 election. Hilary and I spoke about it and she said that if I did she would run against me,” President Obama tells us. “Ultimately I decided to retain my party affiliation through the election so we can ensure that a quality Republican candidate holds the office of President. Vice President Biden has agreed to join me in this change and I hope we can together pave the way for another GOP victory in 2016.”

Snip
There were many rumors about Obama’s Republican shift leading up to the midterm election. The American Conservative speculated on the change last month calling Obama the “heir to Nixon”, and showed how his policies are a continuation of those from popular Republican presidents such as Nixon and Reagan.

1. Flame retardant clothing on. So have at it. And I did post a notice that the site is a satire site

[Autumn]

[hootinholler]

4. You know that would be a possibility

I wonder how the BOG would handle it?

[Autumn]

5. We kinda know the answer to that

12. I don't know

Myself I wonder what the Greenwald Snowden gang will do when the two announce they are really members the republican party, or at least the libertarian branch of the republican party, you know like Ron and Rand Paul belong to?

3. The 2014 (Lite-Rep) Dems who lost elections are also changing their

party memberships to Republican.

6. Maybe those failed comedians in Arkansas should spend

more time preventing their own state from being such a rightwing backwater of Teahadism and less time whining about a President who is way, way too liberal for Arkansas voters.

7. Can someone cite the date this board jumped the shark?

This place is becoming the mirror image of Free Republic with stunningly strict and stunningly more stupid orthodoxy that brooks no dissent from an imaginary party line.

[geek tragedy]

8. It's a different species of shark each

election cycle.

I think it was lemon sharks being jumped thus time .

9. I don't think I'm prepared for two years of this.

The older I get the more the Solemnity Prayer has resonance for me. I expect the rhetoric to get much uglier...

[geek tragedy]

10. It will be a horrific two years no matter what.

Lots of people prefer to oppose than to have any role in governing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. I hope I have the discipline to stay out of these petty internecine squabbles.

It reminds me of Stalin, Kim, and Mao silencing any dissent by accusing their opponents of being rightists.

[geek tragedy]

13. It will be a challenge. nt

15. It's sad...These things never end well...

It's like Godfather ll where Michael Corleone rids the world of all his enemies, real and imagined, and ends up alone.

14. And Republicans got in line to switch to Dem like Star Belly Sneetches to avoid being in any

party with Obama.
