Reflections From a Murky Pond

Summing up the problem in America is actually quite simple. Just read the opening paragraph from this New Times article:

COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Obama and Mitt Romney enter the closing week of the campaign in an exceedingly narrow race, according to the latest poll by The New York Times and CBS News, with more voters now viewing Mr. Romney as a stronger leader on the economy and Mr. Obama as a better guardian of the middle class.

The rest of the article is meritless. What is important is that it’s first paragraph distills one of America’s greatest problems down to a concise nugget. People can believe that Romney is the best choice as POTUS for our economy and still believe that reelecting Obama would be a better choice for the middle class.

The inherent schism and conflict in that thought process can only be explained in a couple of ways:

• The middle class is utterly divorced from the economy at large and is nothing but an artificial construct maintained through government intervention or;
• The economy is quintessentially combative in nature, with the middle class being pitted against the others in a war for limited and non-renewable resources

As neither of these conditions are true, the belief by some large percentage of the residents of America that one or the other of them is serious problem. It’s the sort of problem that is going to keep us repeating the same bad economic policies and class warfare that we’ve had to endure for the last four years.

Terminating Obama’s employment, while right and necessary for our country’s future, won’t guarantee even a short-term palliative treatment for the problem either. This is a fundamental problem that transcend party lines and socioeconomic strata.

The election of Romney, while a hoped for event, is quite likely to trigger a backlash against Obama’s redistributive policies that is as equally based on these misconceptions of the middle class. That’s not going to solve anything in the long run.

Summing up the problem is easy, though neither as easy nor as obvious as it should be, fixing it is going to bloody difficult.

Romney v. Obama – Class v. Class Warfare

When it comes right down to it, it often is the content of a man’s character that will determine whether or not he will be successful in his endeavors. A man lacking in class is not likely to succeed for long in the public’s eye.

Let every American hope, pray, and strive to ensure that the 2012 elections are not an exception to this rule because we, our children, and our children’s children will not well survive otherwise.

It would not be truly fair to blame Obama for America’s economic woes. He didn’t build that. The boy, however, has done nothing but capitalize upon the recession to further the statism, classism, and redistributive – largely race-based – policies that his handlers and overseers desire.

No! It’s been over three years and Obama’s not working. If any of his plans had worked America’s economy would be recovery in a real sense and our unemployment rate wouldn’t be so shamefully high, outpaced solely by the increase in our deficit.

The first step – and it’s only the first, small step – of America’s recovery and the rebuilding of our nation’s economic powerhouse is adding Obama to the unemployment rolls. Not that the worthless piece of misborn filth deserves any benefits since he would be, and should be, fired for cause.

It’s quite rare that can read or hear anything that this trumped-up, little, bastard by-blow of 1960’s rebellion, Obama says and say, “That’s exactly right!” It does happen upon rare occasions though.

That’s exactly right. And and, you know, a year from now I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress. But there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.

Well, it’s been over three years and, if improving the American economy was what he was supposedly going to “get done,” he’s made no progress. Indeed, he’s made matters far worse – far worse even then his Liberal cronies in Congress have managed to do – with his incessantly repeated class-warfare and anti-business sentiments.

Boy! You’ve got nascent but still huge and stinking economic catastrophe on your hands. You did built that! Nobody else made that happen.

Even more than ObamaCare’s overwhelming costs to businesses – costs all centered upon adding or maintaining employees, it is the climate of fear that Obama has instill in businesses that is keeping American unemployment numbers grievously high. Every time Obama attacks businesses, threatens to bypass Congress to do things via Executive Orders, or voices support for the rabble of OWS, he increases this climate of fear and causes corporations to tighten their purses in order to hopefully weather the storm that they fear Obama will bring.

Obama’s Dream – An American Nightmare

So yes, Obama is exactly right and there must be a one-term proposition, no matter what that takes, if America is going to recover in our lifetime or, possibly, ever.

It looks like Obama and his handlers have a bit of a problem on their hands and I doubt that they or Obama’s cultists really know how to deal with it. The way certain things are shaping up across the country it looks like unemployment might personally affect them after the 2012 Presidential Elections coming in November.

All across America Obama is doing poorly in the Democratic Primaries, even when he’s running unopposed!

This presents a bit of a problem for Obama, his handlers, and their Lamestream Media.

Obviously, those who went to the trouble to vote against Obama in their states’ Democratic Primaries must be racists. But they can’t be racist. They’re Democrats and the very thought of they’re being actively and consciously racist utterly violates the narrative of Critical Liberal Theory which tells all – again, and again, and again – that racism is a solely Republican evil.

Yeah, they’ve got a bit of a problem on their hands, the poor babies. 😉
