I've been thinking about the upcoming Presidential election and I'm confused. What's the problem? Why don't more of you support Barack Obama's re-election effort? I listen to people. I listen to what they say about this President, his record in office, his political philosophy, his family, his ethnicity, his religion, his immigration status, his birth, and very existence. However, I never hear his critics make the case..specifically, for why they do not support him.
All I want is someone to make their case against Barack Obama. Please, make your case for why he should not be re-elected? Why do you call Barack Obama a socialist? Specifically, which of his policies do you consider to be socialist and why? In what way, specifically, is his Foreign Policy, one of appeasement? How did Barack Obama turn his back on Israel..specifically? Specifically, in what way did Barack Obama's statement on Israel at the UN, differ from that of George W. Bush? Why don't you support The Affordable Health Care Act aka "Obamacare"? What alternative healthcare plan do you support? Why do you consider an individual mandate, socialist? Why do you support the privatization of Social Security (Ryan Plan)? Why don't you believe the stimulus plan helped avoid a deeper recession or possibly depression? Why was Obama's decision to bail out the Auto Industry, wrong? Specifically, why do believe it's the role of government to control what a woman does with her body? Why don't you support equal pay for women? Specifically, why don't you support an extension of the pay roll tax cut? Why do you support an extension of the Bush Tax cuts? Why don't you support Obama's jobs bill? Why don't you believe the Constitution applies to Gay and Lesbian Americans? Why do you think it's in the best interest of America to keep our men and women fighting in Iraq? Specifically, how has Barack Obama's economic policies hurt our economy? Why do you consider Solyndrya's collapse a failure of Obama's green jobs policy? In what way specifically, has he been lacking in leadership? Why don't you believe the top 1% of the wealthiest Americans should make the same sacrifices as the 99%? Why do you support cutting programs to the poor and middle class and directing that money toward the wealthiest Americans, by extending tax cuts?
In case you don't get my point, all I want is someone...anyone..to make the case against Barack Obama's re-election. No, I don't want to hear Fox News Talking points. If you call him a socialist, prove it! Give me meat, I don't want talking points. I understand that my request isn't easy, because frankly, I don't believe you have a case to make.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. You have no legitimate reason to dislike, or not support Barack Obama. If you take a look at history, his policies have not been out of line or more radical, or socialist than an other modern American president. Most of the policies he has adopted politically, economically are previously bipartisan or even Republican. Barack Obama isn't a leftist. He's a moderate, and most Americans are oblivious to that fact. Or are in denial of that fact. Why?
I have worked for many years in the Market Research Industry. We conduct polling, we look at trends, brand awareness, effectiveness of advertising. The one thing I know is that, if you want to shape public opinion, it's easy to do. The power of suggestion is an amazing thing. You can do wonders with the right marketing. The Republican party has done an impressive job shaping public opinion against Barack Obama. They have a tool that is second to none. Fox News! Fox news is a tool of the right, an instrument of the Koch Brothers, and the Republican Party. What's even more impressive is that they make no effort to hide it. Do you know anything about Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch? Do you know the history of Fox News, the intent of it's creation? Those who oppose Barack Obama, have done a masterful job at slowly shaping public opinion against him. Convincing people he's an enemy of America and a socialist.
Now, back to my original point of this blog entry. Please make your case against the re-election of Barack Obama. I yearn for someone..anyone..to make their case. You must include specific, detailed information to support your opinion, and not talking points from Fox News. Good luck!
