Post Race Analysis

Absolutely stunning.

President Obama
Boy howdy, did I have it wrong.

I am in good company, joining Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer, Glenn Beck, Larry Kudlow, Michael Barone, Karl Rove and Dick Morris. Among those who had it nailed was Larry Sabato.

What area of my analysis was so flawed that led me draw conclusions that were so in error?  Well, as incorrect as I was, arm-chair quarterbacking seems useless.  However, the area I have zeroed in on leads to a larger point.

I agreed wholeheartedly with the post race analysis of David Barton, who centered in on decades of education that failed to accurately present the fundamentals of being knowledgeable and participatory in the pursuit of economic freedom, complete with lacking moral perspective.

Individuals in the age range of say 20-34 grew up within the technological age, with exponential increases in product advancements.  For many, hard work and ethics were not necessary to acquire many materialistic items, and the basis and desire for the pursuit is lacking.

Furthermore, Obama and Biden and their surrogates operated in a most immoral fashion throughout the campaign, lying and ridiculing opponents allowing them to win at any costs necessary.  If I acted like that at my job, I would be fired as we are asked to operate in maximum efficiency adhering to rules of common decency and decorum.

Obama lies in speeches, sounding quite good to the American Idol crowd, but actually does not pursue any of the common sense seemingly obvious courses of action he mentions.  Reducing the debt, which exploded under his watch, and increasing energy, which his instruction has handicapped, are two examples from his victory speech last night.

The Republican Party needs to do a much better job of dismantling the falsehoods they are painted with, and doing a better job a presenting the case of establishing economic freedom, something the public education system has failed miserably to do.

Mitt Romney would have been a terrific representative as President of the United States, and unlike 51% of my fellow citizens, I was pained to learn he would not have that chance. Romney, and Paul Ryan, are fine men.

I fear for the future.  President Obama will continue to spend, increasing taxation and regulation along the way. His warm smile fronts a jaded mask, and a man who is not at peace and will aim to demonize those who dare to oppose him in his wealth transformative efforts.

For those who did not learn it in school, we remember Lady Thatcher, who quipped "Socialism is great until you run out of everyone elses money." 

I have a news flash for you; we are out of money.
