A deeply troubled and deeply troubling administration that will do anything, no matter how cynical and venal, to protect its hold on power

Romney by a landslide



When it comes to predicting the outcome of presidential races most pundits refuse to go out on a limb in predicting probable outcomes. Let’s face it; it’s a risky business that could leave one’s face covered with egg. However, in the case of the current election I will happily stick my neck out and risk being seen as a blowhard who believes himself up to predicting the future.
In a word, I predict a Romney landslide and here’s why: despite the fact that the famous 47% who to whatever degree depend on the government for their daily bread is expected to look for more of the same, I believe that if this percentage could have their druthers, they’d opt for having a well-paying job that left them self-sufficient, rather than dependent on the government. I think that at some level most people in America understand that socialization would result in an overall lower standard of living. I also believe that despite all the class envy and hatred that’s been ginned up against the 1% by this administration, there is a basic understanding that private business, not the government, creates wealth. In my experience, most Americans understand that socialism doesn’t so much “spread the wealth” as it imposes equal degrees of misery.

Obama has incurred close to $6 trillion in new debt through deficit spending, the majority of which has gone to “stimulate” the economy. Counting the massive $821 billion stimulus bill and several additional stimulus bills and three Quantitative Easing initiatives (that’s government speak for printing extra money), the net effect has been that the American economy remains in the doldrums with unemployment in real terms approaching 15%. But even that failure might be forgiven if Obama hadn’t taken his role as messiah so seriously and make grandiloquent promises that could never be kept. I recall writing in these pages on November 11, 2008:
“How can he deliver on his promise of “hope and change”, given the near insurmountable problems he has claimed he will solve. Think about it; he’s a politician with no experience in any of the areas with which he will be dealing, having spent less than two years in the US Senate, during which time his main occupation was running for the Presidency. So now that he’s achieved his goal, an admirable achievement, ... what are the chances that he will reduce the levels of the oceans and heal the world?”
The answer is the chances were somewhere between zero and non-existent. And that’s one of the many reasons why a one-term Barack Obama will follow Jimmy Carter into ignominious obscurity. Another reason Obama will lose big is that his true self has been revealed through the campaign and as a consequence he has lost his “nice guy” image. The Presidential Debates were particularly revealing, as they showed Obama to be an arrogant and petulant pedant, who deigned to debate with a lesser being. The impression he gave during the first debate was particularly damning as it revealed an attitude that resented having to compete to keep the job of President of the United States. The debates also showed him to be a consummate liar, capable of simultaneously embracing two diametrically opposed concepts as absolute truth in order to advance his fortunes. Clearly, he repeatedly lied about his own and Mitt Romney’s platform and continues to do so. The fact that he feels it necessary to lie so openly and glibly shows a candidate in panic mode as he feels the prize slip between his fingers. Finally, the revelations about what really happened in Benghazi reveal a deeply troubled and deeply troubling administration that will do anything, no matter how cynical and venal, to protect its hold on power. For these reasons November 6, 2012 will end with Mitt Romney as the new President of the United States.
