Election 2012: Do the Simple Math and Obama Loses
Barack Obama just finished his Malaise & Blame bus tour and is off to his fancy vacation in Martha's Vineyard. He is going to work on his "jobs" program for a big September 5th speech. He keeps blaming everyone and everything for all his problems -- Bush, the lousy economy he inherited, the Arab Spring, the Japanese sunamai, the Republicans. While I am sure he looks in the mirror every day, he does not recognize one of the real problems we are having: the man in the empty suit, Barack Obama.
The president has had two and a half years to work on the jobs problem. Instead, he spent most of his time making speeches, pushing "green jobs", bashing millionaires and billionaires, big business and Wall Street, passing Obamanable-care and Dodd-Frank ("FrankenDodd") and pushing for hundreds of regulations on all sorts of business entities. He did nothing to promote a climate for adding jobs and now he is scrambling with the same old liberal nonsense of taxing the rich and spending billions we do not have on stupid projects.
This president is a disaster and his jobs bill will be an outline for his re-election campaign. He will call for tax hikes on the rich, an infrastructure bank, more spending on education, and an extension of unemployment benefits. When the Republicans balk at all this nonsense he will blame them for the second recession and try to demonize them to victory. This demonization plan will not work but it is the only re-election strategy that might work, because he has no idea how to grow the economy.
In 2008, he beat an inept opponent, John McCain, and had the perfect storm of running against Bush, a bad economy, Wall Street, and two wars. The public was tired of Bush and "Hope & Change" and "Yes, We Can" sounded good to a gullible public. However, he only got 53% of the vote. Now, let's look ahead to 2012. Adolf Hitler had a better job approval rating than Obama does now.
Do the math. It will only take 4% of the 53% Obama voters to turn on Obama to have him lose 51%-49%. I can't see any of the 47% who voted for McCain voting for Obama, but I can see the Obamanoids either staying home or voting for the Republican. Right now, I see the election, at least Republican 52% - Obama 48%. If the Republicans nominate someone with a pro-growth, conservative backbone, it could go 55% - 45%.
Barack Obama, 2012: NO HE CAN'T !
2012: NO, HE CAN'T !
