Fear Of An Obama Juggernaut?

[caption id="attachment_3638" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Fear Of An Obama Juggernaut?"]Fear Of An Obama Juggernaut?[/caption]

Is there a fear, on the GOP side, of another Obama juggernaut? I’m getting a little concerned about the lack of anyone on the GOP side making a strong declaration to run for President yet. I wonder what the delay is? My gut tells me that despite the fact that Obama has done more to derail America than any other past President, the politics of guilt, race and likability, not to mention the billion dollar campaign, will be a very tough thing to fight. I’m sensing that this is why no one has really stepped up strongly to declare their intentions to run.

We have to remember that in every poll so far, Americans say that they “like” Obama, though God know why, but they don’t like his policies. Well, that’s the message then. While the Obama campaign will start with the hateful, personal attacks (they’ve already started), both overt and covert via the mainstream media, we have to focus on the policies he has enacted which are taking us to the brink of ruin: as well as the burdensome taxation which will have to come down the pipe in order to support these initiatives. As long as we focus on the fiscal, then we should have a strong case.

A Horrible Prediction

I’ve had this horrible feeling at the pit of my stomach: as a futurist (yes that is my day job) I look at the signs (no, not like a psychic), indicators and build scenarios of possible futures. And today, I‘ve decided to go public with a horrible prediction from the Official Future Hall Of Predictions: much as I don’t want this prediction to come true: looking at everything that I’m seeing today, I predict that Obama will win re-election. The signs are all there: a weak Republican field, an administration manipulating events in order to allow any real recovery to occur closer to the election, a President with a ridiculous amount of money and supporters in the mainstream media: any message other than his will be drowned out. Couple that with the extreme nastiness which will be forced upon any candidate who goes up against him, add in a resurgence of white guilt, and it will be an extremely hard slog to beat him. But boy, I hope this prediction is wrong. I don’t think America can take another 4 years, in fact not another 4 days of this administration.

Trump For President? Part 3: Just Say No.

Just Say No To Trump: you know I have no idea what I was smoking when I suggested that Donald Trump would be a decent candidate for the Presidency. I mean I always has a strange gut feeling about the guy, that he often played both sides against the middle, I even thought that he supported Obama in the last election (he came out for McCain). Still, I felt uneasy about the guy. As it turns out that unease turned out to be well founded: according to a Facebook post by Mark Levin, pointing to a site which outlines political contributions, he threw a lot of money at both R and D over the years. Then I saw Chuck Shumer on that list. That’s when I knew that, uh no. Please accept my apologies for those last two posts. I have no idea what I was thinking. Which is usually how my show works: I typically have no idea what I’m saying Winking smile

2008 Was Nothing: Mainstream Media To Go All Out For Obama In 2012: Part 2

There will be teams of people hired to uncover whatever information they need in order to do this damage. These people are the dirtiest fighters in the world. In that way, they have a lot of similarity to terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. They will stop at nothing to crush their opponents. If you thought that the mainstream media had dropped any pretense of objectivism back in 2008, this will be far worse. The stakes are much higher, the task will be much harder, so they will have to be even more obviously firmly in Obama’s camp than ever. This time, there will be no doubt in anyone’s mind that they support him, you’ll see endorsements in nearly every paper (they’ve probably already started writing them), on all of the main networks as well as cable news networks, (except for Fox News of course), as well as liberal blogs like the Huffington Post, The Daily Beast and the Daily Kos.  Let’s hope that this will put the final nails in the coffin of the liberal media.

2008 Was Nothing: Mainstream Media To Go All Out For Obama In 2012: did you think that the mainstream media went all out in order to try to present Obama in a wonderful light in 2008 in order to get him elected? Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Back in 2008, he was less of a known quantity, and was riding two waves: one of white liberal guilt, and one of a neocon opponent, who no one really had the stomach for. It will be much harder to reelect Obama next year, since we know he is a extreme liberal socialist, so the mainstream media and the Obama campaign will need to double, triple their efforts in order to tear his opponents down. I predict that this time around, the manpower that will be unleashed against Obama’s opponent(s) will be epic.

Obama: The First Heckler

Obama: The First Heckler: you know it came to me yesterday morning when I was doing my show, that in reality, instead of being America's First Cheerleader, which is what you'd expect a President to be (for example, someone like Ronald Reagan), someone who helps us feel good about America, supports us and America and her ideals, he is like an anti-cheerleader. So what is an anti-cheerleader? Someone who instead of cheering you on, does the exact opposite and shouts you down. He's not the President, he's not the King, he's the First Heckler. Whenever we try to improve things, he's the spoiler. He gets in there and messes around, ruining things and telling us we are the stupid and ignorant ones. We are on stage, trying to get through our jobs, trying to do a good job, and he's up there telling us how stupid and ignorant we are. That's what he is: our first heckling President. Don't you just love it when the heckler gets ejected from the theater? Isn't there a huge round of applause when that guy is finally shown the door? Personally, I can't wait.

Who Will Stand Against Obama Part 2

[caption id="attachment_3374" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Who Will Stand Against Obama Part 2"]Who Will Stand Against Obama Part 2[/caption]

So will the next candidate on the GOP side be a sacrificial lamb who will be slaughtered against the wave of Barack Hussein Obama in the next election? Is that way the current slate of possible candidates is holding back?

No, I don’t think so. I have more faith in the American people than that. I think that this election has to be as much of an anti-Obama election as it is a pro-Tea-Party-infused-Republican election. We have to home in on all of the negative things Obama has done to our country at the same time as we highlight the strengths of the movement back to first principles. We have to focus not just on the man or woman who will represent us, but the entire movement behind him or her. That the strength comes from the ideals and principles, and not from narcissistic dictatorial fiat.

In a sense, we have to present that we ALL stand against Obama, not just the candidate. If America sees that, then we will win. And America can be restored.

Who Will Stand Against Obama? Part 1

OK so I think at last count there are something like 12 or more (count ‘em) possible candidates who could go up against Obama next year. And the time for debate is fast approaching. Pretty soon, it will be time for someone to step up and really take the reins.

I’m wondering though, why no one has stepped up really strongly yet. Is it because they are all a bit intimidated by Obama and his upcoming, likely $1 billion re-election campaign, largely funded by those outside of the United States, aiming to take us even further down? Or is there a sense that whoever steps up against Obama will get so much flak so early on from his operatives that that person may end up as a sacrificial lamb, and be expected to lose against Obama?

My sense was that John Kerry was just that lamb, sacrificed up in 2004 so that Hillary Clinton could attempt to take the reins in 2008. She couldn’t have seen Obama on his foreign money propelled rocket ship flying over her head. Do we have a chance against Obama? Yes: continued next post…

Chris Christie: Will Americans Vote For Someone Like Them?

[caption id="attachment_3302" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Chris Christie: Will Americans Vote For Someone Like Them?"][/caption]

So Governor Christie makes a great case, and if he changes his mind about running for President and does, I think he would be a strong candidate. The question is: can we look past his exterior (if you haven’t seen him, Governor Christie is a large man) and vote for someone based on his words and not what he looks like? I mean can we really vote for someone who truly looks like a regular American (at least count we have a 60% obesity rate), like someone who you could see sitting in the next booth at Hometown Buffet?

Do we really need our elected officials to look like celebrities? Do we really need them to look good or sound good (Some people take exception with Sarah Palin’s voice). Have we as a people gone beyond the superficial, and can truly elect the best person for the job, no mater what they look like?

Chris Christie Wows, But Does He Go Far Enough?

[caption id="attachment_3300" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Chris Christie: Will He Go Far Enough"][/caption]

So I checked out Governor Chris Christie’s speech at the American Enterprise Institute the the other day. He makes a great case, speaking strongly about doing big things and dealing with the real, big issues, like social security, medicare and the military. I think he has a grasp of some of the enormity of the issues facing us today – literally life of death issues for America. He speaks convincingly, and seems to have some good solutions, well is at least open to serious action. Although while listening to him, I still had this sense that even his solutions would not be good enough. We truly need to go back to first principles, take the state back down to the level it was at during the founding of this country. The question is: can he go far enough? I wasn’t convinced in listening to him. At this point, I’m not sure anyone understands the enormity of the changes that need to take place in order for this country to survive.

Lady Gaga 2012

[caption id="attachment_3163" align="alignright" width="75" caption="Lady Gaga 2012"][/caption]

How can we win the next election against someone with the "star power" of Barack Hussein Obama? (Although if you ask me, I'd say almost anyone could win against him now, but we can't underestimate the power of a lapdog media and a forgetful electorate, especially with a possible billion dollar campaign budget)

What we need to go up against Barack Obama is someone with the same level of “Star Power”. I mean do you really see these people, who have no name recognition outside of conservative circles, such as Chris Christie, Herman Cain, Mitch Daniels, though they may be powerful messengers for free speech and free markets, can they really play in the same league as someone like Donald Trump or Sarah Palin?

Personally, I think if we could get Lady Gaga to declare herself a Republican, win the nomination and go up against Obama, that probably our best chance to win. I wonder if the liberals would keep listening to her?
