Obama running against things no one is suggesting |
There are some facts that need to be considered with Clinton. His first two years were not that great, Republicans won an overwhelming sweep of the house and senate in the following two years and maintained it throughout Clinton’s tenure. Clinton was dragged to the middle by Newt Gingrich. The success we had in the 1990s was because Clinton and Gingrich were able to work together. In my perspective, Obama and Harry Reid in particular, have refused to work with John Boehner and the Republicans who only just barely seized control of the house in 2010. Boehner is not as strong of a leader as Gingrich was, but Obama is a lot more stubborn than Clinton.
The Republican controlled house has sent over 100 bills to Harry
Reid and the Democrat controlled Senate designed to curb spending and improve
the job markets. Reid, in his eagerness to compromise, has tabled the majority
of what has come out of the house. There is gridlock in congress, but not in
the house, it is Harry Reid. But that is, of course, not what people who watch
the 6 o’clock Obama Mania Media News are being told. One need only go to
House.gov to follow what is happening there. Those guys, Republicans and
Democrats, have been working hard to together to try and resolve this crisis,
but the stubbornness of Harry Reid, and Obama threatening to veto key
legislation has made all that work for naught.
Then comes the attacks on Paul Ryan who in his speech at
convention referred to a factory Obama promised to save but ended up getting
shut down. Fact Checkers allege that the factory shut down before Obama was
inaugurated, but the truth is it was closed down in April after he was
inaugurated. Whose fact checking the fact checkers? Did anyone hear that the
fact checkers were wrong and that Rep. Ryan was right after all? No? Figures.
Then comes the fact that the Democrats tried to remove God from
their platform, tried to remove Jerusalem as the capital of Israel from their
platform, spent a whole lot of time promoting this paranoid delusional “war on
women” running against things no one on the right has said or suggested… And
yet the Rassmusen polls this morning are devastating... For us.
Obama has 49%, Romney 45%, outside the margin of error. Obama has
turned a corner and pulled out a lead that it is hard to see how or where
Romney can recover. Has our country become so corrupt that we seriously look at
what happened at the DNC and consider it a success? Are we so depraved now that
we are okay with the change to their platform which not only endorses
unrestricted abortion but promotes tax payer funding for it? Are we really okay
that God and Jerusalem in their platform was only saved at the last second by
slight of hand on the part of the party leaders and that the majority of the
party kept screaming "no" to reinserting these terms and booed when
the party leadership did it anyway? Are we so deceived by the main stream media
that we are even willing to listen to them anymore? How is Obama not trailing
by double digits?
Then to top it off, the job reports come out that only 96,000 jobs
were added last month, and while Obama will claim further proof of job creation
what Obama and his team, and the mainstream media always leave out when
reporting this is the number of jobs lost, or the number of people who give up
looking for work, estimated for the Month of August to be around some 300,000.
The unemployment number is only below 10% at this time because we report the U3
number which does not count people who are no longer looking for work. We ought
to look at the U6 number which stands at an alarming 14.7%-1 We have more
people out of work now than we did before Obama was inaugurated. That is
the reality of Obamanomics, well that and inflation but I have tried to explain
that before here:

When you put this into perspective its stunning that Obama seems
to be overcoming an economic record of absolute failure, while we Republicans
seem to be allowing ourselves to get distracted on issues like abortion. Let
the Democrats attack phantoms and paranoid delusions and fantasies, Romney
should also call them out for doing that, but we should go into working
overtime to hammer the point more people are giving up looking for work than are
finding jobs, and that is not a justification for re-election no matter what
pretty words Bill Clinton was able to cobble together.
I would advise Romney to convey the message that he is completely
different than Obama. Do not waver on a full repeal of Obamacare, hammer the
damage it will do to the economy, hammer the unemployment record, hammer the
spending and turn the allegations of gridlock in the direction it needs to go.
This is Harry Reid and Barack Obama's record. We need a real change.
