How do I know that Barack Obama realizes that he is indeed losing this election? The answer is simple. With 13 days left to go before November 6th, he has finally agreed to give us his second term agenda. After months of claiming that Mitt Romney was not specific enough with his own 59 point economic plan, 200 page agenda, in which wonkish detail has reached new heights in boring reading material that makes the fine print of insurance policies seem like the exciting stuff of romance novels, President Zero released his 20, (count em,) 20 page brochure filled mostly with high gloss photos of him campaigning, and woefully short of anything even remotely resembling a detail or anything new. In the interests of fairness though, (pun intended,) have yourself a good read of Obama’s plan for us going forward. It should take you almost a whole ten minutes, and when you stop retching, take a deep breath, and calm down. He will not be given the chance to inflict this upon us, as America’s voting public are 12 days away from putting an end to this nonsense.
I have prided myself on my efforts to eliminate emotion from my analysis. I have never attempted to hide my political leanings, but I have given every candidate what I believe to be an honest analysis of their campaign positions. I gave an analysis of anyone who put something official together from Rick Perry to Jon Huntsman. I had always planned to give an honest analysis of Barack Obama’s agenda, should it ever materialize. So, with 13 days left before the election, Barack Obama finally let us all in on the secret of what he intends to inflict upon the rest of us, given a second four years. I read his agenda, and all I can say is that it really is pretty thin gruel. Perhaps that’s lucky in some respect, he, according to his 20 page leaflet, has no real plans for us in the future.
What little Barry promises in a nut shell is more of the same. We can expect more class warfare, more onerous government regulation, more trade restricting tariffs, more subsidies given to cronies representing the Green Fairy, more gimmicky approaches to economic policy designed to tweak public behavior, and another promise to solve all of our economic woes by hiring more teachers.
I was a little perplexed at first with the Clint Eastwood Convention Speech. Looking back on it now, I realize that I just didn’t understand the true genius of a man who quite frankly was ahead of me intellectually. The Obama agenda amounts to nothing more than empty promises made by an empty suit draped over an empty chair. There have been others in American history who have ascended to the office of the Presidency through the gimmicky spouting of similar populist garbage, and none of those former snake oil salesmen managed a second term in office. Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, were all shown the door after four disastrous years.
Barack Obama will make a lot of money on the lecture circuit, and in 12 years time will return to deliver a rousing speech at the Democrat National Convention for some future progenitor of wealth redistribution pretending to be that elusive fiscally conservative Democrat. Time does indeed heal emotional wounds, more through amnesia than anything else. During that speech, 12 years from now, the Democrat base will have forgotten that during his last days as President, Barack Obama’s campaign was reduced to plugs for 3 ring binders, Big Bird, and birth control. They will undoubtedly forget that his campaign was reduced to calling his opponent names, and substituting snarky little quips for actual thought or policy positions. They will have long forgotten that he was reduced to inventing names for make believe ailments and actually managed to belittle real sick people in the process. They will have shed the reality that his four years in office were an unmitigated disaster from day one, and that he had not a single story of success that he could point to and say, this is why I deserve a second four year term.
A week or two later, President Ryan will undoubtedly give a rousing speech in which he defends what will be an actual record of success, looking to secure his second term in office. My hope for that day is that there will be a large enough number of Americans who remember what happened the last time a Democrat represented himself as a fiscally responsible tax reforming hawk. I hope that they will be able to remember the Obama Presidency as it was, and not as it will be spun.
