I am writing this the night of the Presidential elections. Every day until now every pundit and so called news organization is projecting Barack Obama the winner of the Presidential elections. Are they right? I will know tomorrow morning.
As I am writing this FOX news just declared Barack Obama the President of the United States of America. Lets hope that the change we are going to experience will not give us buyers remorse. May God bless America and may God bless Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States and may he look beyond the trees and lead in a way that benefits the entire forest.
I will continue with my post after I do some Monday morning quarterbacking. John McCain failed in not distancing himself from the Kennedy / McCain immigration bill. Citizens of the United States were waiting for a Republican President to say that only US citizens can take money from the tax trough. That only US citizens and legal residents can work in the United States. That only US residents can vote in the United States by giving us a tamper proof Social Security ID card. McCain failed to make the word American and Citizen synonymous.
He failed in not distancing himself from George W Bush and trickle down economics. The Republican party will continue to be hurt by this. Some of you think that I am only referring to tax policy. While tax policy is important, the department of labor and the policies of the administration that leans either toward business or labor have a great effect on the perception of the electorate. The people are looking for a President and a Government that does not take sides with business or labor. In my opinion Americans want a government that opens up the playing field, puts referees on the field to enforce the laws and refuses to help the coaches by taking sides.
He failed to make the argument that having the house, senate and the executive branch and possibly the Supreme Court ruled by one party is not good for the country. The Jimmy Carter and first 6 years of the Bush Presidency proved this.
I have spoke to republicans and democrats that for the most part do not agree with Obama’s positions on abortion i.e Kill babies through the 3rd trimester, immigration i.e. Give illegal aliens driver licenses, free speech i.e. shut down conservative radio using The Fairness Doctrine, affirmative action yet are happy and willing to make him the next President of the United States.
Barack Obama has outspent and out organized
The real question is how does a liberal democrat become the President of the United States? Over the last few weeks I realized that there HAS been an attempt to buy the Presidency using subliminal suggestions and propaganda.
If you type in query hope and change in to the Google search engine you will get 292,000,000 results and the very first one is a web site dedicated to Barack Obama.
I was listening to a radio commercial for Wicked which is the theater production of what happens after the Wizard of OZ, terrible people run that show by the way. The radio commercial was talking about the fact that they were ending there run in L.A. and the background music was HOPE and CHANGE.
I was watching a commercial for Boeing and was surprised to here mentions of hope and change in there commercials. This was interesting considering that military stocks will probably take a hit under an Obama Presidency.
I saw a billboard for a TV show with the words hope and change in it.
The Obama campaign was quite active in changing perception by having its surrogates squelch any opposition or criticism of Barack Obama by flooding political websites with professionally written comments and articles that tried to obfuscate anything negative about Obama.
I do not have the finances or the time to reasearch this further. I will leave it to the well funded media to take credit for my findings.
