Obama ahead?

I still find it hard to believe that Obama may win this.  I’ve been reading the leftist stuff and they are cooing about how Clinton “told it how it was” about the economy, Romney is unlikeable and rich, and Obama seems sooooo smart.  Hmm.  Taking this one at a time, did Clinton and the Obama convince most people that Bush caused the recession?  That’s a new one on me. I thought recessions were caused by overspeculation, not Presidents.  Millions of bad decisions by individuals acting like lemmings cause recessions.  The last recession was caused by overspeculation in housing.  So did Bush teach all those people to say, “House prices will always go up, always go up, always go up!” ?  The recession of 2001 was caused by overspeculation in stocks, especially tech stocks, which began to decline from an S&P high of 1570 in March, 2000 to eventually reach a low of 713 in October 2002.  So did Clinton teach all those idiots to say, “The economy is so good.  We may never have another recession. The Dow will soon reach 30,000.”? That’s the kind of talk we heard, evidencing the frothy markets. And you wouldn’t normally think of blaming a President for a lousy recovery, except that Presidents (and congresses) can put debt and regulations in place that scare the business community.  That’s what we have now.

 

But it may be that Obama has hoodwinked a majority of voters.  Too bad for America.

The Left is also all abuzz about how Romney is not seem trustworthy.  So then we find out that Obama has a son out of wedlock which surfaced at the Dem convention and that Bill Clinton is telling us all about trust in his speech.  You know the single mothers loved and trusted Bill and now they love and trust Obama.  Would it be too out of place to say this is why they wind up single?  I do see part of their argument, however.  During the primary I noted that Romney was such a proud guy.  He doesn’t admit much guilt and is stiff and formal.  But considering that our debt bomb is headed for  detonation soon, I would say we need an accountant with a sharp pencil to mark through a lot of budget items.  Whether my accountant is a warm, personable guy who winks and flirts is not my concern.  I want him to get the numbers right. Clearly, Romney will do that better than Obama.  Evidently the bozos are out to hire an accountant with a good pick-up line.  As for me and my house, I am invested reasonably well against the possibility of debt-bomb/stagflation. But it won’t be pretty when it happens.  And then comes inflation/taxation as we try to make amends.

 

 

Smart guy, Obama, could not figure out that it was a terrorist attack that took out our ambassador for nine days.  Then suddenly the assessment changed 180 degrees. Best assessment that the attacks were not spontaneous riots is provided by Chris Mudd.  He asked me how many US flags I could round up if I went around Ponca City and bought them all.  Well, I dunno, maybe a hundred total.  “They claimed the mob in Cairo burned 20,000 US flags.  Now that takes a bit of advance preparation, given that it is Egypt and you are trying to find a US flag, right?” Is Obama’s “smart” foreign policy anything like proposing shovel-ready projects when nothing was shovel-ready? Smart like Fast and Furious? Have we brought Iran, Palestine and N. Korea to the negotiating table yet? And then there’s the lost Hope of Changing Washington.  And how a lowering sea level would come and the race card would vanish. Smart?

 

Do people actually drink this Kool-Aid? If so, it is not America’s finances that will collapse, but our Americanism.
