A recent CBS poll showed a record low number of Americans approve of the job President Obama is doing. The number is reported to be 41%. It is much worse than that, and rightfully so.
Unless there is exponential levels of voter fraud, which is possible with dead people voting, or our country has morphed into a collection of village idiots, there is no way Obama will win re-election.
I could go into the thousands of negative things Obama has done and continues to do, but by the time I would finish, the NCAA tournament would be over and we would be turning our attention to the NFL draft.
The economy is not getting better. Revenues may have stabilized or perhaps experienced a dead cat bounce off historic lows, but costs through regulation, inflation and taxation are rapidly increasing, and when coupled with $5 a gallon gas, revenue slowdown is imminent. Recent stock market highs are great for companies, like Coca Cola, of which I am a shareholder, who have international exposure and have access to low cost capital, but Aunt Mary and Uncle Bob are scared about retaining employment and have limited access to cheap capital.
Below is my prediction for the final electoral college tabulation. Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum or Foghorn Leghorn, it does not matter. This country does not appreciate top down government control being exercised on our citizens by elites who think they know better.
We will see how if shakes out, but America looks like a football Saturday in Nebraska, a Sea of Red.
Listening to the mainstream media forecast, or better stated cheer lead, Obama for his accomplishments most of the country is too absent to comprehend is a waste of time. Out here in the real world, those working the streets know better.
If Obama wins, freedoms you enjoy our ancestors fought and died for will quickly contract. The government, who knows best, will rule your decisions. If not, we have a chance.
That being said, 2016 will be the real battle. Assuming Obama loses, the decisions he made will bear down on America and whoever is Commander in Chief will have their hands full. Debt is debt, and it must be paid. There is no free lunch.
Even left wing pundits are contemplating this, as evidenced by a recent editorial in Investors Business Daily.
Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton lead the Progressive bench, but they are up in years. Andrew Cuomo is fooling a lot of folks in New York, but the reality is he is the Architect of Ruin and is in deep with and among those who crashed the housing market. Perhaps others among Martin O'Malley, Ed Rendell, Elizabeth Warren, Tim Kaine, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, Claire MaCaskill or maybe Howard Dean would try again. Anyhow, at this juncture, this looks bleak for the Democrats.
Provided we have a country left, either Romney or Santorum will likely be primaried. Although things will be improving, it will not seem like it. Who could be among those that could challenge? I suspect Marco Rubio will be VP, so his time will come later. That would leave a bench consisting of Paul Ryan, Rick Sanotrum (if he loses to Romney), Chris Christie, Sarah Palin, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal and re-runs potentially by Michele Bachmann or Mike Huckabee.
Top down government control against free market capitalism. Let freedom ring!
