For those looking for national relief, take heart! Help is coming in November.
I have no poll, no crystal ball, no insider information. But from where I sit, I see a defeat for Obama in November. And here is my view of things to lead me to believe that conclusion.
Just a year ago, Obama and his campaign were very confident that they could raise a record $1 billion for the campaign. They haven't nearly done that. That enthusiasm of 2008, is NOT there.
Obama and company had expected to get a multitude of small donors like before. But they haven't. In fact, they have had to resort to asking people to donate the money they would spend, or even receive, for Birthdays Graduations, and Anniversary gifts. (How sad, O is worth over $10 million, and he asks the little people to give up their gifts to help him! I find that pathetic.)
I had personally seen more cars than I could count, that had Obama stickers on them. Seriously, I saw them all over the place. Even in the parking lot of my office, and state employee cars, they were everywhere. Those are seen far, far less today.
I know of some friends, who were Republicans in 2008, but crossed over for the Presidential ticket and voted for Obama. For a variety of reasons, they voted for him. But in casual conversation, they have been very dissatisfied and they will not be doing that again.
I know of some Democrats who gleefully voted for Obama in 2008, and have told me they won't be voting for Obama this time. Even if they don't vote for Romney, they won't vote for Obama. That discontent is deeper than the media would have you believe.
Obama has been spending more than he's been taking in. Kinda like his economic policy! And it isn't making much of a dent.
Businesses, large and small, have been vocally supportive of Romney. Obama has turned off a lot of business people, including those who voted for Obama before.
I am not hearing near the Hollywood chatter for Obama, as we did in 2009.
Oprah is not campaigning for Obama in any way that I can see.
The international scene is worse than decades, and Obama's policy of taking a lessor role, is showing to have failed.
Contrary to Obama's early blather, unemployment is STILL above 8%. That number is around 23 million people out of work! (By the way, the unemployment rate for blacks, is running at around 15%. Obama has done NOTHING to help that segment of our society!
Obama PUSHED through Obamacare, even though NONE of the top ten polls showing a majority of public support for the bill as written. A LOT of former supporters are not happy still, and more of that is coming as some of those un-told particulars come to light.
Obama has fathered more than 6 TRILLION dollars in new debt!
While the polls tell of a slight lead by Obama, I don't take stock in any of them. I say that for one simple reason. I had an on-line chat with someone who said they voted for and liked Obama, but wish he were doing a better job. The "hopes" he had for Obama, has not materialized, and this guys knows things have gotten worse. If asked who he would vote for, he'd say Obama, out of loyalty to his race, but in truth, the person I chatted with won't be voting for Obama, if at all. How many others are like that?
Add all that up, and I don't see how Obama can pull out a win. Even if Hollywood throws more money at it (I hope they DO waste MILLIONS more of their money!), it's a losing cause, and many have already seen that. Many, have already calculated that throwing good money after bad, is not worth it to them. Too bad, some of those liberal loud mouths, like Bill Mahr, should give ALL their money to Obama's campaign! (I'd love to see them broke, and no-bama to have in the end.)
So, agree or not, I see a near Carter-like defeat for Obama. It may not be that big, but by the end of the night Nov. 6th, the loss will be enough that the scores of on-deck lawyers ready for a recount legal fight, will not have enough cause to move forward with.
Oh ... Is it true, that Obama has already scouted property in Hawaii to move to, after January? I believe even he knows it's coming.
Now, here's the real kicker - I believe that for Obama, he is ready to lose and move to Hawaii. I believe that Obama has found the task of being President, to be too taxing, too much work, and he is ready to move "forward". I see him this way. He was President of the United States, and that will forever be in our history books. He'll have a Presidential Library, so he can take delight in seeing himself exhibited there. His ego can be satisfied in those things, and he would never have to deal with those people DC, whom he considers to not be worth his time anyway, again. His only real worry, is that he might end up with a discredited legacy, if the shit hits the fan between now and Jan. 2013.
Meanwhile, if anyone reading here is a democrat, please, throw more money at Obama. The networks can get rich off that losing cause. Money will NOT clean up all that is wrong. If $6 TRILLION can't get the unemployment out of the cellar, no amount of money will help Obama!
