Never-Wrong Pundit Picks Obama to Win in 2012

George,

You sound just like the rest of them. You say the president had a hideous record? During the president’s first inauguration, republican leadership came together and pledged to obstruct anything the president tried to accomplish. Do you blame the democrats for that? Do you blame the president for that? You acknowledged that Bush put the country in a dire situation while in office, and then you imply that he should be given some of the credit for recovery we are seeing now vis-à-vis TARP . Just like the rest of your likeminded cronies, you imply that the president wants the rich to pay “high” taxes when in reality he’s only wanting them to pay what everyone else pays – their fair share!

Romney lost because the American people saw him in the end for what he really is… a liar and a man with a questionable moral and ethical core. I listened closely to many of his stump speeches and I was appalled with the many the lies and half-truths he constantly spoke. I’m not naive and I understand the nature of political campaigns but Mr. Romney crossed the line with me over and over again when he told shameless unabashed lies about his position on so many major issues and about his opponent – the president. What is especially disturbing is that he claims to be a man of God. What a joke.

He claimed he was a job creator but let’s check the record… but before we check, let’s define what a job creator is. Here’s how I see it; job creators are people who, by virtue of their business activities, create jobs by design. That is to say, a planned outcome of their business activity is to create jobs - much like creating profit. Romney touted Bain Capital and his stent as Governor of Mass as his “job creating” experience. Bain Capital did not create one single job by design. The only jobs ever created by Bain were a byproduct of the company’s quest for profits. If there were no profit in it for Bain, not one single job would have ever been created. Here is Bain’s mission statement...” Bain & Company's mission is to help our clients create such high levels of economic value that together we set new standards of excellence in our respective industries.” Simply put, their mission statement says “We make a lot of money for our investors.” Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, but keep it real… Bain (and Romney while he was CEO) never cared about creating jobs! I find it interesting that they made billions and never made a “thing” while doing so. 100% of Bain’s profits came from diverting funds from companies they invested in. The classic ‘rich get richer while the poor get poorer” scenario.

As governor of Mass, Romney was ranked of 48th of 50 states in terms of job creation. Facts are facts and there is not much else to say about this. It doesn’t get much worse than that! His record as a job creator was a bunch of garbage.

It says a lot about the republican ticket when neither candidate can secure the vote in their home state. Wisconsin and Mass voted for Obama. That fact in itself is very telling. The people that know them best voted against them.

Over the past 4 years the majority of republicans have embraced the position that they would do whatever necessary to ensure the president is not re-elected. They cared about little else. I’ve listened to the several post election speeches by republican leadership and they have vowed to continue their obstructionist ways. When will you guys learn? America is watching you and she fed up with your foolish behavior!

I could keep writing for hours but I will let you guys and gals chew in this for a while…

The American people have spoken!

Hillary 2016!

It’s quite amazing so many Americans look past the hideous record of Mr. Obama & bought into his political ads that things are actually better & America is on the right path. I am also amused of his message of “change” when in reality Mr. Obama’s views are exactly the same as big government liberal bureaucrats, which is nothing new.

I grant you that the economic collapse happened during G.W. Bush’s watch, but it was G.W. Bush that put a floor under it with the TARP program & stopped the spiral that Mr. Obama is taking credit for. All Mr. Obama has been able to do is tread water after spending billions and billions of dollars and adding trillions to the debt.

Mr. Obama’s views of high taxes on the “rich”, is a direct hit on job creators of all sizes during a recession when we need them the most. His views on the expensive death tax making it incredibly difficult to pass family owned business down to the next generation. His Health Care (ObamaCare) Plan that introduces new taxes and fee’s directly & indirectly on business, again during a recession, is going ensure a extended period of high un-employment & low GDP growth.

He claims credit for saving the auto industry when in fact he has merely kicked the can down the road at the expense of tax payers since GM & Chrysler did not address the major issues that brought them to failure in the first place, meaning they will soon find themselves back looking for more hand outs. They needed a managed bankrupy process like every other company, large & small goes through, to get back on track. As of this day, tax payers still have billions of dollars at risk in the form of GM stock.

"we haven't seen and candidate in the GOP who meets this criteria and probably won't." I wonder what former POW John McCain thinks about this statement? LOL

15. Incumbent race: We've never had a non-white incumbent before so this is new ground. Racism is not to be ignored in this election.

16. Voter disenfranchisement. Not in the last 100 years have we seen such a broad and blatant attack on Democratic voters from ID laws to reduced voting times to intimidation to misinformation to voting machines owned by the challenger's son.

17. Citizens United and the Super-PACs. Never before have corporations been able to spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertising.

18. Fair and Balanced reporting: the level of lies and fear-mongering being used to stir up an already antagonistic right-wing base are unprecedented.

Is Lichtman taking all this into account?
