Obama Alternatives or Obama's Luck- My brother, perhaps other conservative relations as well, are obsessed with the idea that Obama is incompetent, wastes too much time playing golf, etc. Obama isn't doing enough for job creation, loafed thru college, got affirmative action lucky, etc.
So who would do a better job? Anyone running against Obama?
Eric Cantor or Mitt Romney's going to do better? Michelle Bachman or are you betting on the Pizza Mechanic Herman Cain?
Face it- you got a collection of midgets running for an essentially worthless chance to run against a guy who's opponents self-destruct, come apart as they face him.
Remember John McCain? He bet the farm on Sarah Palin, and a 'Hail Mary' stock exchange meltdown conference. The guy who ran against Obama for the Senate? His wife divorced him midstream, because he wanted to take her to wife-swap clubs. They got Alan Keyes to run against Obama. Yeah- the guy who disowned his daughter mid-campaign because she was a lesbian.
Who can beat Obama? A former Black Panther. Care to go down that road?
You want job creation? The Republicans don't want a stable economy, they want to hold it hostage against killing Medicare! 'We won't raise the debt ceiling until you give Seniors a 'cents-off' coupon for Medicare! Rushbo doesn't want the economy to improve- he wants the country to fail. The Boner? Sure he's working on the Orange- but all he wants is a chance to cry and play golf. Romney? He said GM should go bankrupt.
None of the Republicans are competent. Ask em- What would you do to create new jobs? Answer- Lower taxes, decrease regulation and kill Social Security.
That's their answer when times are good, and when they're bad. It's an anytime answer.
Except when they are in power- then the answer is control your private parts, break unions, reduce benefits to the needy, increase police powers, AND make sweetheart deals with their buddies.
BTW- Tpaw's already had a handful of campaign aides arrested for DWI, drunk in public, and harassing under age girls. Think it could be a new and different way for an Obama opponent to come apart?
Or do you want to take a ride with the Mittster's dog on the roof of his car? Stand with Paul Ryan while he explains why his getting Social Security benefits is different than YOU getting Social Security? (He put them to good use- and you wouldn't!) Do you want to go shooting imaginary coyotes with Rick Perry?
Hark! Do I hear Chris Christies' helicopter? I haven't mentioned the Palin word- 'cause she's not running, she's on a 'family vacation' -care to contribute?
Did I mention that the secret Muslim, Kenyan-born, Obama had Osama shot in the face? Something that silver spoon born George W. Bush wasn't able to do? That he rescued the auto industry in this country- something that Michigan born Mitt didn't want to do?
Yeah- I agree, Obama's got a great education after a so-so start, is not as smart as others, but he does have that one attribute that Napoleon sought in his generals, luck. 'Don't tell me how good he is- is he lucky?'
Am I 100% happy with Obama? Heck No! But consider the alternatives!
