I have decided to re-activate this blog after years of no posts as the 2012 election nears.
Back then I was 100%, no 110% for Barack Obama. Well...what a difference 3 years makes!
Obama sucks! Obama can't seem to fix our problems! And what the heck was with all the bowing to other world leaders!?!
Maybe a bow to Asian leaders I can understand (so long as the other leader bowed as well) since it's the tradition there. And I can see why you might want to bow to the leader of a nation whom you owe 2 Trillion. But bowing (low) to the Japanese Emperor? America fought hard over 200 yrs ago to throw the yoke of monarchy from its neck and establish a Republic. And now what? A president that bows to foreign monarchs!
Don't even get me started about the undeserved Nobel Peace Prize: Guantanamo - still open for business; Iraq - we are still there; Afghanistan - still there with more troops; Pakistan - tons more drone attacks that Bush. Nobel Peace Prize...what the heck were the Nobel folks thinking giving him an advanced peace prize for?
Jobs -- where they heck have they gone?! Massive unemployment every state. The economy is stuck in a rut. Yes, yes, he inherited a gigantic mess from Dubya. But really...he's had 3 years to start fixing things and what? Trillions of dollars in bailout money and what are the results? Nothing much! And the jobless rate -- the highest it's ever been since 1983! Yes that's right, more people are out of work now than during the horrible reigns of Bush I and Bush II.
There are tons more things I don't like that President Obama has done, screwed up, or failed to do, but I don't have time to list them all now, I will address them in later posts.
However, as much as I hate how my once favorite candidate in 2008 turned out, I must reluctantly--very reluctantly--support him for 2012.
Short of some other--better--Democrat candidate challenging him during the primaries, the opposition candidates don't really inspire much confidence in me, save one.
And that one person is Ron Paul. He's a breath of fresh air. He's got fresh ideas. He's not a regular politician, but a genuine statesman. Unfortunately, it's unlikely he will win the Republican Primaries. This is because the primaries are run by politicians, for politicians. And Ron Paul is not a regular politician. The media is biased against him and his party doesn't seem to support him. I wish he would just run as an independent and skip the primaries altogether.
So because of above, I reluctantly have to support the lesser evil. This is what American elections have become. A choice between the least evil. It's a joke, and we're screwed. But you might as well pick the guy who will screw you less. So, short of Ron Paul winning the Republican Primaries, or running as a viable independent candidate, I hereby (very reluctantly) support President Barack Obama for a second term in the 2012 Presidential elections.
Should he win, I hope that he sucks less and accomplishes more, and makes good on his promises on his 2nd term.
At the same time, I will hope and pray that America gives Ron Paul a chance.
