Obama's Re-election Threatened By Sour Mood

Hey "ANONYMOUS of WA," I've got a news flash for ya: MOST of us who voted against Obama aren't racist. And you're the pot calling the kettle black, aren't you, with your quip about the "White Bush." You know, it's funny... I don't go around calling Lieberman the "Jewish Lieberman," Romney the "Morman Romney," and Cain the "Black Cain." For the record, my husband voted for Obama in the primaries, but not in the general election. IN 2012, I'll be voting for Romney, because even though I think Obama talks a good game, he's done nothing, in my opinion, to move this country forward. He's a planner but not a doer, and I've seen him sit on the sidelines while the country fights to move out of a recession--and out of Iraq. He's also made other promises he hasn't kept. He reintroduced the Coal-to-Liquid Fuel Promotion Act in 2007 when he was still in the Senate, but it never became law. Another thing he said he'd do but hasn't: meeting "separately, without precondition" with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea. (He said he would on July 27, 2007, but still hasn't.) And While I don't expect Obama to break bread with leaders of countries formerly referred to as part of the "axis of evil," he continues to favor diplomacy over the hard-lined Bush era. He also hasn't eliminated income taxes for seniors--something he promised, back in 2007, that he would do for any retiree making less than $50,000 per year.

Those are just a few of the campaign promises Obama hasn't kept. And I haven't even touched on his plan for health care reform, which I think is a complete and utter disaster (case in point: the health care "benefits" that my military friends--and living in the Washington, D.C. area, I have a lot--get), or about the government bailout of big business, which continues to draw criticism.

The one thing I applaud Obama for is getting rid of Osama Bin Laden. That was an excellent move on his part. Is that enough to get me to vote for him, though? Um, no.

So, while I won't vote against Obama because he's black (again, Anonymous of WA, seriously???), I think my reasons to vote against him are more than valid. My question for you: Why will you vote for him in 2012?

The country is a mess--anyone can see that. And why numerous people can be blamed for the mess we're in, he's still the guy at the top of that mess. Most head coaches who operate in the manner Obama has operated in would get fired for less; just ask former Washington Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau and University of Mississippi coach Houston Nutt (Nutt is retiring at the end of the season).
