Much has been written and said about why and how Barack Obama became elected our 44th President. Every, “expert,” and his brother has sounded off with some reason or another. I have heard some of the most nuanced and smart sounding crap in explanation of this, as if a vote were indeed some great mystery of the ages, that only those with decades spent in earnest study could possibly decipher.
After all of that, here is the reason. Barack Obama was elected to be our chief executive because 52% if Americans strategically located in our various states believed, rightly or wrongly, that he would be the best choice to create an environment where they would experience the greatest improvement in their living standards. While the sentence is longer than I wanted it to be, the concept is still very simple. We, as Americans want to to enjoy the best possible standard of living that we can carve out for ourselves. Two points about this standard of living. One, we like enjoying the fruits of our labors, and we like working for those rewards. Two, we like doing it for ourselves, and feeling necessary. Being needed, is as basic a human instinct as breathing. In as much as people end up voting for the Socialized protections afforded by left of center benefactors, it is invariably because they have been scared into believing that some bogey man was waiting around the corner to steal away from them the fruits of their labors.
Here is why I believe that in 10 months time, Barack Obama will take his well deserved place as an ex President. His campaign in 2012 will not be based on convincing Americans that his policies will lead to a greater standard of living for them. He has no choice but to convince Americans that they can not have the standard of living that they want to have. He instead will try to manage expectations to the point where people are willing to expect a lower standard of living based upon the mistaken belief that the successful people in our society won’t let them have what they have earned. Class envy, fear of his competitors, manufactured crises, and a message of soaking the rich to benefit the collective is what his 2012 campaign will be about.
Over the last two years, I have been involved in several spirited debates about how electable Barack Obama is or isn’t. During each debate, three major points always seem to come up, and neither one mind you involves any actual discussion on his agenda. One, Obama is viewed as some sort of Messianic figure by a number of his supporters. Two, the main stream media is in the tank for all things left of center and will not ever question, vet, investigate, nor even report on the goings on in the Obama world. Three, his war chest will be $1 Billion. I will stipulate to two of those three points, and I still believe that he is toast. Here is why.
While it is true that many bought previously the Obama is some sort of transcendent figure, he himself is now actively campaigning against that view. Think about it for a moment. 4 years ago, while he accepted the nomination for his party as candidate Obama, he proclaimed that this was the moment when the Earth began to heal, and the waters began to recede. Compare that with his latest State of the Union address, where he redefined the American Dream as people just wanting a decent place to live and the ability to have free health care, in order to avoid bankruptcy. Telling Americans that they can not work hard to determine for themselves, what lifestyles they ultimately get to enjoy, is not a winning message to deliver. The last 4 political candidates for our Presidency that delivered this message are, in order of appearance, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and Michael Dukakis. I would understand if those names mostly do not ring any bells, as history as rendered them to the deserved place of obscurity that they all so richly belong. Jimmy Carter did become our 39th President, but not based on his malaise message, that wonderful campaign platform did not happen until after his policies reached their inevitable failure. So, when Barack Obama resurrected the moth balled Carter ideas, the same inevitable failure naturally followed. The same message of accept the malaise has also followed. This message is a loser, no matter how much money little Barry has to spread it with.
Yes the media performed a disservice to all Americans for their lack of any type of attempt to vet Barack Obama, their complete lack of candor in accurately or even actually reporting on what his agenda would look like, their obvious cheer leading for his candidacy, their filtering of news to report for the express purpose of swaying public sentiment and thus opinion. The simple fact is, that this remains far easier to do with candidate Obama than it will be for President Obama. Americans have seen the Marxist Agenda, and they do not like it one little bit. We have outlets for our voices as well, and there are some things that have already been forgotten.
A short list to follow here. He used his political capital and the first two years of his Presidency passing three massively destructive pieces of legislation during the worst recession since WWII, none of the three had anything to with solving our economic problems. That legislation includes the Bailouts, Obamacare, and Dodd Frank. I expect who ever is our nominee to help their fellow Americans to remember this. He purchased weapons and gave them away to Mexican Drug Lords for the express purpose of promoting violent crime so that he could sway public opinion to be more amenable towards fire arms regulation. (He purposefully sought the death of American citizens in order to push gun control.) He lied to the American People about anything related to the, “Green Economy,” in order to push for his initiatives which turned out to be nothing more than his Marxist leanings legislated or pushed by executive fiat, and to pay off his campaign donors. Once the whole crony capitalism empire started to collapse, he doubled down and is still out there touting businesses and industries which have already gone bankrupt. The entirety of the Middle East and North Africa are in flames, and currently in the hands of the very same people who flew planes into the Pentagon and the WTC. We actually fought along side of those very same evil thugs in the case of Libya, and have heralded the arrival of those same thugs in the case of Egypt. I don’t know when I’ve felt so proud. Our national debt has gone from a serious problem to being a point of despair that makes me look back to the days of $450 Billion deficits as the good old days of responsibility. Gasoline is on the way to $5 per gallon, and the President’s answer is to force it higher so that we will all use public transportation or spend a massive amount of money on his electric cars, which will still rely on electricity. This will be a problem as well, since he has stated that his goal is to bankrupt the coal burning power plants, even though they account for the vast majority of our electrical productive capacity.
I could keep going on, but I believe that we should all get the point by now. Don’t despair, Whether it be Gingrich, whom I like, Santorum, or Romney, Barack Obama will have a long and healthy life, during which he will be reminded daily that the American People rejected both him and his ideas by an overwhelming margin. To make this vision a reality, all we need do is not to lose faith, to keep spreading the word, and to get out there and cast our votes when the time comes.

I think you are wrong about the landslide. I think this will be a very close election. You left out the power of incumbancy in your list of Obama’s positives, and that cannot be overlooked. The shere weight of incumbancy makes Obama a formidible candidate. He is not unbeatable, but he must be beaten. We cannot, will not win this just by showing up and not being Obama. We have to have as good a candidate as we can get (any of the top three will suffice, but Romney lacks the will to win), and then that candidate will have to fight for it (this is where Romney will fail. He is completely unwilling to reach out to the base of the party in any way. This will hopefully cost him the nomination, because it will certainly cost him the general election if, by chance, he does secure the nomination). Politics is War. The Republicans don’t seem to get this, but the Democrats live it. Obama will be the toughest candidate we’ve faced in my lifetime. If we run Bob Dole II, we will lose. It really is that simple.

Good morning folks!
A.B.O.
anyone but obama.
Dream on.
This will not be a landslide win! If we win, and as I see it that’s a really big IF!
@ Tanker:
Yeah, I think it is touch and go. It’ll be very close, and will come down to the wire. Obama will fight the dirtiest campaign ever fought. No matter whom our candidate is, their religion will be mercilessly attacked. Their personal lives will be dragged through the mud. And Obama will use every trick of his office to bamboozel the voters and obfuscate the real issues. It will require a concerted effort on our part to defeat this evil man. Politics is War. War to the Knife, Knife to the Hilt.
I can’t say it’s a real win with

@ Iron Fist:
Obama is the most formidable campaigner I have seen. He’s great at Demagoging and doing a us vs. them narrative.
Nobody on the Republican side has his skills.
@ Tanker:
My thoughts exactly.
@ Speranza:
That’s my sentiments.
I have it on the highest authority (exhibited here daily) that we’re DOOMED to a second Obama term, there is no hope, and we should all just off ourselves and get it over with.
Defeating obama and the other democratic progressives is paramount. I don’t know if the GOP is up to the task. The low hanging fruit of failure, corruption, and in violation of the constitution is obvious and should be so devastating to the obama administration that I wonder why they are not being effectively articulated.
Also, I shudder to think what a lame-duck obama admin will do if it does lose. It will make the petty vandalism and pardons of the klintons pale in comparison. I remember someone posting about how Romney seems to have a barely managed rage. He doesn’t have nuthin on obama and mooch-hell.

It’ a very hopeful post, but I would NEVER underestimate President Obama in a campaign--it’s HIS wheelhouse, and it will take every last voter and every last lucky break to beat him.
@ Iron Fist:
He’s polling in the 46-50% range. The problem is too many Americans love the man personally. They want to vote for him. We are dealing with a cultural/quasi religious phenomenon. The only way to defeat him is to strip him of his godhood and turn him into an average politician.

Rodan is right, though, that Obama will be a formidible opponent. I hope the next couple of weeks clarify who our nominee will be. If Santorum wins Michigan, it is pretty much over for Romney. And despite all the rumors, it is really too late for anyone else to enter the race.

I predict he’ll authorize the Keystone Pipeline about two weeks before the election. What I’d like to see is the Republican House pass a bill authorizing it NOW, and force the Democrat Senate to vote on it.
Also, let’s not forget, Ken Salazar is still operating in direct violation of a court order telling him to lift the moritorium on offshore drilling. And Obama still has to answer for all those $$$ he gave to Brazil for oil exploration.

The polls are still oversampling Democrats vis-a-vis Republicans and Independents. Rasmussen is showing him at -15 today, which is still significant. This man has not had positive numbers in Rasmussen since July of 2009 -- which is a hell of a short honeymoon period. Gas has reached $4 a gallon at the pump (for regular) here in Northern California (where our state taxes on gas are outrageous)
Another think Obama might say in his speech is that he’s going to ask Congress to lift the gasoline tax for the next ten months to “help the middle class.”

Yes, however some people have fought so bitterly and divisively for their preferred GOP candidate that it may not be possible to build a consensus.

The problem is that’s not what most people see. His real dark nature is hidden. You have to get under his skin and make him lose his cool. Once that hapepns, his divinity is gone. Then it becomes about Obama’s policies.
But his Divinity needs to be stripped first.
@ Rodan:
Yeah, I saw that. Obama is trying to have it both ways, but you can’t really do that. It may be enough to fake out enough of the middle, though. All Obama really cares about is fooling enough of the people for long enough to get his second term. Then the masks will come off for good, and the only thing that will stand between us and a Leftwing dictatorship is a fragile majority on the Court and maybe control of the Legislature. Given that we won’t have a veto-proof majority in the legislature, though, the best we can do is stall for four years, and four years is a long time to stall.

Democrats will vote for it because they’ll have nothing to lose. The bill will fail. (It’ll probably be something like the raising of the income tax level on those making more than $250,000 a year)
Obama will then have the “I tried to lower the corporate tax rate but the Republicans wouldn’t let me.”

The government is a leech, and it is sucking the economy dry. It is no surprise that Obama wants to accelerate that. All he has done serves to hasten the fall of the United States. I believe that this is quite deliberate. That his policy is meant to knock America down to a level where she can never get back up.
