A Numbers Game

Miraculously, Barack Hussein Obama has brought unemployment below the eight percent figure. I say miraculously because I see no way the Obama administration figure adds up. This new 7.8 percent number should be dismissed as a bit of creative electioneering at a time Obama really needs it after his debacle of a debate performance. Do you feel a giant economic rebound in your life? Do you like paying in the neighborhood of $3.70 a gallon for gasoline (or more)? Have your food costs suddenly dropped? Are you planning on big Christmas spending? I see no evidence of recovery in the economy but plenty of signs that we either never left the Obama recession or are well into the dreaded double dip. What America needs is not manipulated jobless numbers but the job creation that a President Mitt Romney will deliver.

The Tipping Point

Even the dinosaur press had to concede that Mitt Romney outperformed Barack Hussein Obama in last night's debate. Main stream media flacks who would normally be cheering Obama's mastery were saying that the President was "lackluster". The most telling aspect for me was that Romney showed the human face of conservatism. Mitt proved he was no Simon Legree parody who is thoughtless to the welfare of the poor and disabled as movement conservatives are so often characterized. Romney will return dynamism to the engine of prosperity with more people employed and paying into the system while Obama's proposed tax increases would surely stifle all prospects of recovery. Romney has the vision America needs to turn the corner while Obama would simply dig the US into an ever-greater hole. Let us hope Romney and Ryan keep up the great work.

Not Really Debatable

Are you better off than you were four years ago? Unless you happen to be a crony of Obama or a member of a protected union, chances are you are not. As an ordinary American, your prosperity is under assault. Your food costs more, your gasoline costs more, and if you are fortunate enough to have kept your job, your income is less. You are less free in America than ever before with the Obama administration ready to take over the Internet in an "emergency" they have empowered themselves to declare and with even the ultra leftist American Civil Liberties Union declaring US citizens are under more surveillance than ever before. Even college students who are receiving the ever greater beneficence of government are actually falling behind still further as tuition costs grow faster than the scholarships and grants do, leaving graduates with higher school debt than ever before. Our medical autonomy is going as Obama Care will dictate what we must weigh, whether we are permitted to consume tobacco, and if we may even drink soda. Soon too care rationing will be the cause of death for many, no matter what their death certificates have written on them. If you happen to be better off than you were four years back, you are "connected" or a very lucky individual indeed.

For Border Security

Tragically, another border agent has been murdered while trying to keep us safe along our Southern border. A boundary so porous that even our law enforcement there is in grave danger represents a threat to all of America. I do not know if Romney will secure America's border with Mexico, but it is all too clear that Barack Hussein Obama has not. Sadly, as in Libya, our current President has failed in his duty of national security once again.

The Real Hope

A candidate won the US Presidency in 2008 with an offer of ersatz hope and brought real change, almost entirely for the worse. You can not consider a record number of Americans on Food Stamps an achievement. A growing dependency state is a tragedy and unsustainable to boot. Few dole dwellers are fulfilling their highest expectation when they go begging Uncle Sam. The GOP wants to offer them a hand up so they no longer need the handout. Barack Obama is happy to give a man a fish while Mitt Romney wants to teach that man to fish so that he may eat for a lifetime. There is only so much a nation is able to produce and the productive classes will rise up and shout "no more" if they are made to work ever harder so that other able-bodied may mooch.

An Unforgivable Lapse

Just as not taking security seriously enough allowed the Libya slaughter on September 11, the Obama administration did not do what was necessary to secure the computer network of the United States that controls our nuclear arsenal. The stunning story is reported by Bill Gertz in The Washington Free Beacon in a story titled "White House Hack Attack". That our defenses are so lax should be a scandal.

The Expectation Game

In the coming days, the Presidential debates and debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan will take place. Much too much weight is being placed on these contests. I do not think based on his performance in the GOP debates in this election cycle and even back to the 2008 campaign where Romney lost the GOP Presidential nomination to John McCain that the former Massachusetts Governor is any great debater. Nor do I believe Obama speaks beautifully off the cuff, but Obama does deliver prepared text with tremendous eloquence and conviction. Both Presidential campaigns are trying to tamp down expectations about their respective candidate's performance in the upcoming forum. I for one will not be swayed in the least by any of what is said because the issue is larger than Obama looking good and Romney appearing stiff or even flustered Wednesday night. Barack Hussein Obama is taking the United States away from her founding ethos. Obama is systematically dismantling the elements of our nation that keep America safe and prosperous. Mitt Romney will not drown the US in debt in transforming us into a dependency state, will never disassemble America's national defense, will not try to take our guns, and will not raise taxes in the teeth of our persistent recession. As for the Vice Presidential gab fest, I think Biden may look stale, lacking Ryan's vitality, but once again, even if Ryan was the one spouting nonsense, the voters would still have the duty come November of saving the country from Obamaism.
