10 Reasons Obama Will Not Be Re-Elected~
The following commentary [Kathleen Brush] comes from an independent investor/market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program.
It won't take much to defeat the Fraud-in-Chief. ITs record over the last 3.5 years will be reason ENOUGH to vote IT out of office.
1. The economy is struggling. Since 2008 the U.S. economic clock has been turned back 10 years. If congressional gridlock continues The Economist reckons it will continue declining. The only country that slid more than the U.S. is Greece.
2. Gas is more and more expensive. Obama said, "There is no silver bullet" to temporary rising gas prices. Temporary? On Obama's watch gas has risen from an average of $1.85 a gallon to near $4 today. He does have a solution: Americans will drive cars that get 55 mpg. In the small print, there's a warning: These cars are small. They have a clutch and roll-down windows. Hey Algae is in style when YOU're deadski.
3. The continuted war in Afghanistan is a fiasco. Obama's good war has turned into a mess. We are eyeing a second Vietnam.
4. The kids are not fired up. Mr. Hope-and-Change has disillusioned his younger voter champions -- 66% voted for him in 2008. Youth unemployment is at a 60-year high. It is now over 18%. It was 14% in 2008 (10.5% in 2007).
5. Lending is still down. New bank loans remain at historic lows: Just 50% of GDP. Healthy growth calls for new loan growth of at least 100% of GDP. The 848-page Dodd Frank Act is a major contributor to bank reticence to lend.
6. He's lost the elite. In 2008, Obama carried 52% of the 1%-ers, whom he later demonized. Hmmm, Why hasn't IT demonized Bloomie, eh? IT's elite are comprised of Hollyweird flakes. Do you really want them to dictate policy? Nope.
7. Welfare rolls are rising. Americans have always taken pride in being self-sufficient. No welfare state here. At least there didn't used to be. Welfare spending in the U.S. is up 29% on Obama's watch. Food stamps recipients are up 68% from 28 million under Bush to 47 million under Obama.
8. So is the national debt. The nation's debt has grown a whopping 65% on Obama's watch. It's gone from $10 trillion to $15.5 trillion.
9. The U.S. lost its AAA rating. Under Obama, America has had its first credit downgrade. A huge contributory factor was his inability to lead Congress.
10. House prices have plummeted. Home prices hit their peak in 2006. In 2011 they hit new lows.
In addition, we could talk about the failures of Obamacare or the fact that the U.S. is in decline, as global rankings indicate. The list goes on.
Anyone but Obama.
As always, feel free to comment and add Oblunders to this list .
I know there will be Naysayers, truth hurts, and blaming Bush is stale. ; ) Don't like it? Take a hike.

+9He's been getting desperate. Here's hoping he keeps up the trend. Looks like the ball's rolling in Wisconsin.
It occurred two days before the holders of the notes from General Motors met at the WH regarding the GM bankruptcy. Those creditors' offices were in Manhattan. At the meeting, the creditors were told if they didn't step aside from their place in line to be paid, there would be hell to pay.
Bankruptcy law requires that lenders be in line before stockholders. But the understood that the WH would stop at nothing to destroy the lenders if they were willing to strafe lower Manhattan.
It was similar to finding a horse's head in your bed.
here is cool and wet.. unusual weather for June here..
Up to 70 pages on the book now!
All the best...I am sorry~
Celebrated music professor David Whealy from the University of California Davis becomes the recipient of an unexpected inheritance from a complete stranger on the opposite side of the country. As David explores the secrets of his mysterious benefactor, James Burton West, he finds more than just a remodeled home on the Delaware coast. Through the journals and correspondence West leaves behind, David embarks on a slow discovery of an intensely private and humble man who went through the last years of his life alone—and off the grid.
Waiting inside the West home is the promised treasure trove of original and unpublished autograph scores, the quality and quantity of which would rival that of the great composers.
West knew precious little about his estate that had been in continuous family hands since 1724. He knew nothing about his enigmatic ancestor “a Thomas of historic import,” nor the origins of that ancient iron key. A key that held a secret even James Burton West remained ignorant of to his death. A secret which may well have redrawn the map of the United States
and resulted in “Old Glory” having only 49 stars instead of 50.
I wasn't accusing you of anything. Hope you didn't take it like that.
Keep it up!!
I hope things will work out for you and your family.. yes.., change in perspective helps.. I am sure things will look different in a short while..
So that's all the reason to never vote for Government, or Obama, or Mitt, or most of your other Rulers we call "Congress".
Try this instead, not complete, but you'll get the point:

The problem is you are operating under the assumption that many voters actually THINK before they vote. Sadly, many will vote for him because he's black, or because he has a nice smile, or he sings, or they're so dependent on government handouts that they CAN'T vote for anyone else.
God help us.
Meaning out here, the voters are robots. It is ingrained in them since a child to vote Democratic. I do not operate that way. I am not a Chicago Democrat! Lots of voters out here do NOT think before they vote nor do they bother to do research, especially when it comes to voting for judges, and then they complain. Tis all!
It is a very sad thing that folks don't think before they pull the "lever" when voting. It's sad.
