Obama Begins 2012 Re-Election Campaign

[tt11758]

BO looks like he will be with us for another term unless we have someone come forward who isn't in the running now. Enough people live off the public trough now that a candidate proposing cuts in government is the last thing they will vote for.

I've been saying this since the day after the 2010 mid-term election.  Nobody I've seen on the Republican side instills confidence in me.  While I like Trump, I can't see "The Party" allowing him to be the candidate.  So we're left with another freaking RINO like McCain, or somebody who (as Mr. B so eloquently phrased it) couldn't beat him in 2008.  Combine the fact that Obama's steamroller has been pretty well neutered since the mid-term election with the fact that the typical voter has, not only a rather low IQ, but a very short memory, and it sets the stage for a Hollywood-style horror story....."Obama II.....The Curse Continues".

And all that isn't even taking into account the affect of a potential independent candidate siphoning off votes from whomever the GOP runs, a la Ross Perot.

I hate to sound like a defeatist, but damn!!

Want to have some fun?   Want to feel better?

My local paper is running a poll:  Will Obama be re-elected in 2012?

Now my county is primarily Republican, but it would be fun to blow this poll really way out.

Noon, tues.  68% no - 32%yes

Perot didn't change the outcome of the '92 election.  Yes, he got 19% of the popular vote, but he got none of the electoral votes.  Even if you are charitable and assume every one of those votes would've gone to Bush I, Bush still wouldn't have won.  Let's just be honest and blame Bush for taking a dump on his voter base.

If you want to use an accurate example, try Nader in FL circa 2000.

The thing that sunk Bush 1 was cooperating with the Dems who turned around and f*cked him.
The only incumbent President who still got standing ovations as he lost the election.

I'd argue that the '89 Import Ban didn't endear him to gun owners, but I agree it wasn't a major factor to most.

ETA--Bush I is a good illustration of why you should never promise things you have no control over (e.g. No New Taxes).

OBAMA'S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
                                                      By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010
 

Barack Hussien Obama is no fool.    He is not incompetent.

To the contrary, he is brilliant.     He knows exactly what he's doing.

He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.

Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate

( Columbia University , class of '83).

He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.

Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one,  Barack Hussien Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.

Add up the clues below.    Taken individually they're alarming.

Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn
the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority
that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted
on to always vote for bigger government.
Why not?  ....They have no responsibility to pay for it.

Universal health care .
The health care bill had very little to do with health
care.  It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and
health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents
(who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving
free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.

What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million
voters to Democrats and big government .
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill
in the middle of a depression?

Cap and trade.  
 Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.

It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.

They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to
Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars,
bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."

Make Puerto Rico a state.     Why?    Who's asking for a 51st state?
Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government
entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?

Certainly not American taxpayers.
But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along.

His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman
and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.

Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could
overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable
new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and
eventually Social Security .

Stimulus and bailouts.      Where did all that money go?

It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions – including
billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.

It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.

It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama
almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to
teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).

All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their
bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .

The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama,
the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.

The ends justify the means.

Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job
creators.     Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers,
redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did
nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically
cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically
raise taxes to starve his political opposition.   With the acts outlined above,

Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding
constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of
public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated
to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.

 Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama
using the Cloward and Piven Plan .
