I think he was being facetious.
You don't make statements like that without actually meaning them. I am beginning to wonder about JJ's talking about what would happen if Obama failed and there is a massive backlash could happen. And on top of that, what would actually happen. He claimed that if Obama were elected, that there would be a massive backlash where the Republicans would return to their pre-Katrina, if not pre-10/29 levels by 2012 and that he would be easily defeated for reelection. He then explained an America that would be more willing to use the DOD than the DOS in foreign policy, an America whose social and physical infrastructure was totally owned by bankers and salesmen, An America where the most powerful fundamentalist or catholic priest in your town was the judge and sheriff and an America where genetics and phenotype are given the same weight in judging your character as a credit report or police record.
