2012 Election: Did anybody really win

2012 election: Did anybody really win

 

Prevailing notions that Obama had a clean sweep in the Electoral process may not be accurate. There was nothing clean about his assault on the opposing candidate. Campaign rhetoric usually takes on a vicious tone as Election Day approaches. Unfortunately, the democrats put their message before the public in a manner that sinks to new lows, for a president who wanted to retain power at all costs. Accusations that Romney was a murderer, a racist, a homophobe, a job killer, insensitive to the needs of the poor, anti-motherhood, a religious intolerant are but a few of the claims levied from the Obama camp against a very decent man. One of the strangest commercials, run by the democrats, was a young woman describing who she would like as her first sex partner, somehow relating that event to voting for Obama. Too many references are available describing the indecencies perpetrated by an Administration that was desperate to retain power.

 

Romney’s laid back casual approach to politics did not attract the groups necessary to garner sufficient votes for his drive to the White House. Hispanics were not moved by his staunch aversion to allow illegals to roam the ranges of America unhindered by the law. Birth control became an issue when women were demanding free medications under Obamacare and Romney sided with the churches against this issue. Soccer moms were aloof from the Romney message perhaps because of his wealth or perceived detachment from his own children. Afro Americans had mixed feelings about his faith, wealth and most important his minimal campaigning amongst them. Romney’s message was clear, succinct and forward-looking but most wanted to keep the status quo alive. Many dependent on the government saw Romney as the person who would turn-off the financial spigot, leaving them with an uncertain future. Romney did not lose because he was a bad candidate. He lost because he was too good for those who have become accustomed to a free ride through government offerings. Obama was their man, full of hope and a lot of change for their pockets. The question did anybody really win on Election Day? The answer is a resounding no. Four more years of bad energy policies, an out of control EPA, health legislation that does not fulfill its stated intentions, schools on a downward slope, ongoing reductions in our military capacities, more redistribution of wealth, a foreign policy in tatters and more. America lost on November 6, 2012 and tyranny won. Mark Davis, MD President of Healthnets Review Services. platomd@gmail.com

Romney's TKO of Obama

Romney’s TKO of Obama

 

Mitt Romney delivered a TKO last night when he faced an unprepared incumbent in a debate that went in one direction. In a 90 minute matchup between two men with very different ideologies the Republican candidate dominated every round. From the President’s posture to his low toned answers he was unable to respond to all the jabs being thrown his way. America’s failing economy was the central theme of the night and President Obama was unable to muster the energy and clarity to explain his four years of failures to the audience or those who tuned in. Obama’s tired diatribe that larger government is the answer to an economy that is in the doldrums was drowned out by Romney’s point by point reasons to shrink the federal work force. Obama’s paltry answers to a well-rehearsed Romney assault on his policies did not go unnoticed by the media outlets covering the debate. MSNBC shockingly pronounced Romney the winner though Al Sharpton tried but failed to put a positive spin on a poor performance. Jim Lehrer, the night’s poor excuse for a moderator, finally came around to the subject of Obamacare during the latter third of this disaster for Obama. Similar to his other answers Obama had trouble justifying this monstrous legislation while Romney enumerated why it should be abolished. Subject after subject Romney was on the attack clarifying the less than factual statements the President had just presented. Romney and the President have been in a statistical dead heat for several months but the tide seems to be turning away from the President. Obama has been spending heavily on media spin in the last few weeks, but it has not put a dent in his poll numbers. This first of three presidential debates, with one VP debate interspersed with the others, will define an election that may shape America’s future for the next several decades. Obama was lost without his teleprompter as he searched for answers to the most basic questions. During this one sided forum the moderator attempted to help Obama by leading him in a certain direction, but the President could not find the fire power to return the volley. One interesting side note, Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland was challenged by a reporter on Obama’s performance. Amazing as it may seem the Governor gave Obama high grades for his efforts using the usual democratic spin as cover. Mitt Romney’s TKO of the President was not a fatal blow to Obama’s campaign though it was close. With two debates to follow on the presidential side Romney needs to continue pummeling away at Obama’s failures, if not there is still time for the tables to turn back towards the President.

Obama's last days in office

Obama’s last days in office

 

Decades from now when Obama has left the scene presidential historians will finally have an opportunity to summarize his “4 years” in office. Their review shall chronicle a man who was under water from the moment he took the reins of power from his predecessor. Given the mandate to manage a nation he decided early on to deconstruct every institution and tradition that made America strong. His hate for the country was so profound he curry favored with America’s enemies to strengthen them while weakening the platform that gave him power. Israel to him was the enemy not the nations that harbored terrorists. When awakened one morning that Iran had launched a missile on a trajectory into the heart of Israel he yawned and went back to sleep. On that very day, late in his presidency, Americans watched as their inept president would not stand with the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel destroyed every military installation within the confines of Iranian space with minor loss of life on both sides. Though Obama tried to take some credit for this remarkable feat historians would note he had no part in the planning or execution of these retaliatory raids. Obama lied for the last time while in office. His republican counterpart cleverly exploited this opening and won by a landslide in November of 2012. When these contenders changed seats in January of 2013, a final accounting of Stimulus and Tarp monies were begun. A scandal that would tarnish the Nation for decades was uncovered. Tens of billions were squandered on projects generated by friends of Obama, very little went to places to improve Americans lives. Obama and his Administration were criminally liable for kickbacks, bribes and misspent monies diverted from their main purposes to help a country recover and given to an element who would subvert the nation. Unfortunately, the new president wanted no part of any prosecution and pardoned his staunch enemy. Historians create records to help future generations avoid catastrophes that befell those that came before. Obama had closed his mind to history because he repeated mistakes that were easily avoidable. The 2012 presidential election was noteworthy for the fact that Obama strengths turned out to be his biggest weaknesses. His ability to blurt out a great speech did not rectify the emptiness of its contents. Many of his supporters evaporated when they heard words they knew were untrue, the ballot box told the rest of the story. Obama lost the election not because the other candidate was so much better, only because he was so much worse. History is an excellent teacher, perhaps it is time the rest of us learn from it and vote right this November.

2016: the real story

2016: the real story

2016: the real story

 

Expectations fell short when I viewed the recently released movie 2016, Obama’s America. Ninety percent of its themes and premises detailed a period prior to 2012. Obama’s second assault on America would look much different than discussed at the end of this pseudo-documentary. Every institution and tradition that made America strong would be diminished to a point where America mirrors the country of Obama’s origins. America’s Military, once capable of managing wars on multiple continents, has been reduced to a shadow of its former size. Left vulnerable to our enemies, Obama grants control of many government functions to the United Nations, further reducing our capacity for self-defense. Medical care is no long on demand, instead something as minor as a cold requires consent from a functionary sitting in the heart of District of Columbia. Masses of people die because access to diagnostics and therapeutics has been limited to pay for the monstrosity called Obamacare. Initial cost estimates less than a trillion dollars, as misrepresented by the President, now totaled ten trillion. Inflation once a respectable 2% now runs over 10% a year with unemployment reaching a consistent 15%. Obama’s intention to reduce our nuclear arsenal to zero is finally realized as a dozen countries continue produce more weapons. Twelve blue states seek bankruptcy protection because union thugs and liberal government operatives raided treasuries to pay for extravagances they could not afford. Obama still searches to bring unemployment down with his 5^th stimulus to nowhere. Government employees earn two to three times their private counterparts under Obama’s last term. Continuing his promises to La Raza, Obama has opened the southern border allowing free movements between Mexico and the United States. Eric Holder continues in office with a trail of personal criminality that continues to mount against him. Obama’s czars have come out in the open releasing edict after edict pushing the country further into the economic doldrums. Redistribution of wealth continues at a record pace where the indolent and lazy receive more money that those who foot the bills. This enumeration only touches upon the detriment Obama will bring in a second term. Economic Armageddon, a demilitarized America, rampant union thuggery, a centralized medical system that expedites patients into the next world,  open borders, unprecedented gun control, food and energy shortages and much more. This is Obama’s America not the one projected in the movie. A vote for Obama is a vote for the latter. Vote right in 2012 or don’t vote at all. Mark Davis MD author of Demons of Democracy.

Paul Ryan: great choice, wrong combination

Paul Ryan: great choice, wrong combination

     Mitt Romney has been absorbing caustic attacks from Obama’s camp for months. He has been put on the defensive by nearly every piece of trash Obama’s minions can throw his way. By the time he responds Obama’s lies have already been absorbed by a public that is fifty percent in his corner. He needs to be a pit bull instead of the chihuahua in his responses. Enter Paul Ryan, one of the most decent and intelligent of men now serving in Congress as Romney’s VP candidate of choice. Ryan has become well-known by the austerity budgets he has suggested to bring America back from fiscal insanity which Obama has inflicted on us. Ryan’s demeanor infers a profound understanding of the events surrounding America’s present economic misery which none of Obama’s flock comes near.  Does this pair mesh as a combination to overcome the President’s popularity? Or is this a replay of 2008 when John McCain’s integrity would not allow him to respond to the brutal attacks from then Senator Obama. Prevailing conservative thought is in agreement that Romney has not been forceful in his responses. In some cases he has allowed secondary people to respond on his behalf. Romney has failed to elucidate his recovery plans in words that penetrate the minds of potential voters. Ryan’s austerity measures unsettle many on the edge who also find Romney equally unsettling in his planned economic maneuvers. Polls move both ways within days of each other. Ryan has given Romney a short term boost in ratings, but it may not last. Horrific as it may sound Obama may indeed be a two term president. This reality may come to fruition not because Obama ran an exceptional campaign, but from the weaknesses the Republicans portrayed to keep their dignity intact. If the republicans do not take off the proverbial gloves and start hitting balls out of the park Obama is a shoe in to remain in office. This combo may not be able to deliver the knockout punch. Worse, Obama has successfully embedded a sense of dread in the public’s minds that republicans will dismantle government fed safety nets for the poor and not so poor who drink at the coffers of Obama largesse daily. Romney and Ryan have much to overcome within a short time period, presently the future for the Republicans is not bright. Polls are leaning towards the present assembly in the White House. Let’s hope the republican team learns to throw punches or else Obama 2013-2016 will become a reality. Mark Davis author of Demons of Democracy, platomd@gmail.com

Crimes of Obama

Crimes of Obama

President Obama has displayed his inability to manage government systems and bureaucracies. Perhaps his intention was never to carry out the duties he swore to in his inauguration oath. In the space of forty months the Obama Administration has undertaken the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of America including; spreading wealth to unions, welfare queens, companies that had nowhere to go except down, friends of Obama and more. Obama has not neglected himself or his family. Misuse of government facilities and transportation disguised as official functions have been common in this White House. Tens of millions spent on vacations while little Timmy had to eat one meal a day is a crime in and of itself. Golf outings so frequent we thought Obama was the new Bob Hope. It only gets worse. Backdoor bribes to have healthcare passed that a majority did not want or need. GM stockholders lost control of a company that Obama gave to union thugs. More sorrowful, now we have seen that the Department of Justice is curry favoring with race hustlers to push a frightening agenda across the American landscape. All but abandoning Israel in favor of terrorist nations, drenching these people with American money, should give people pause to consider: who did we elect in 2008. Obama oversaw tens of billions being diverted to the indolent, lazy and undeserving unchecked by a Congress more liberal than him for the purpose of consoling his base. Hundreds of Executive Orders, edicts, appointments and more to keep himself in power are the mark of a tyrant in training. America has a problem called Barack Obama. The question that must be asked: Do his actions rise to a level of criminal activity? If so, should Obama be prosecuted? The Constitution blocks the president from criminal prosecution. As for impeachment few have the cojones to move forward against a man who is popular with the media and approximately half the population. America is on a precipitous slope with the criminal element in charge. Rectification of this American tragedy was designed into the document Obama refuses to acknowledge, the Constitution. The four year election cycle is the key to removing would be tyrants. With two lawyers vying for the position as president elect we have been given a choice of bad or worse. I will choose bad.

Rick Santorum: running against himself

Rick Santorum: running from himself

Rick Santorum’s national ambitions diminish each time he verbalizes a thought. As a former Senator and candidate for President, media review of his political positions is scrutinized to the nth degree.  Recent exhortations by him have turned many heads the wrong way. Santorum’s Satan comments, whether taken out of context or not, introduce a certain level of negativity and nervousness in minds of potential supporters. His internet postulations denoting what he believes a person can view in cyberspace speak to a whole new set of government controls. Under a Santorum presidency the Chief Executive will determine which websites are permitted, others he will “crackdown” on. Though his references were to stop the proliferation of porn, next step potentially could inhibit viewing  sports on certain days, liberal talk shows ( perhaps not a bad idea), news shows and more. Rick is autocratic: it is his way or no way. Watching Santorum and his family pray after a debate may have made many uncomfortable with his openly religious displays. Morality for the Senator shifts as time moves forward. He has a trail of speeches and writings indicating he is still looking to solidify his personal beliefs as exemplified by his change from pro-choice to pro-life stance. Higher education is not for everyone only those he feels should take the plunge. Numerous uncertainties surround the personal and professional life of Rick Santorum which should give people pause when considerations swing towards his candidacy. His delegate count is presently less than half of Mitt Romney, yet he pursues his presidential goals as though a chance still exists for him to overcome the odds. Perhaps his accumulated delegate count at the time of the Republican Convention will earn him a second place position on the November ballot. If not, Santorum will return to his lobbying activities and the multi-million dollar cottage in which he now resides. This is one candidate who should stay in the private sector.  Mark Davis MD, author of Demons of Democracy. platomd@gmail.com

Conservative Pundits are wrong about Romney

Conservative pundits are wrong about Romney

America is under assault from within and from afar. Our country has been surreptitiously maneuvered into becoming a second rate power. American headlines should read 2008 was the last year this country retained its super power status, it has been downhill ever since. President Obama has done everything short of giving away our nuclear secrets, which recent media notes is a future possibility. Election 2012 is fast approaching with a cadre of republican candidates yearning to be our next Chief Executive Officer. Mitt Romney is in the delegate lead at present, yet he remains an uncertain commodity amongst potential voters. Right wing media is awash with propaganda attempting to push Romney over the top. Fair and balanced looks more like unfair and biased from my perspective. Fox no longer discusses the candidates on an equal footing. They are now openly directing us to vote for their choice. Worse, they are commenting who should get out of Romney’s way so their ordained preference could be carried over the finish line. Romney has more than baggage that drags behind him. His dirty laundry has a stench all its own. Our conservative pundits have failed to take a hard look at Romneycare. In the event they had done their homework the media would have found that the Bay State’s tragedy is remarkably similar Obamacare. Romney’s interpretation of his own work is disingenuous at the minimum and would have been enough, under normal circumstances, to keep him off the election circuit. His entitlement proclivities bear a remarkable resemblance to those of the President. Global warning, he stands on the fence with this subject. As a former liberal democrat Romney could force all of us to ride the bus. Will he cut the bloated federal payroll? Review his management style of the Bay State. Expansion of bureaucracy was his specialty. Why does an honest man hide his money offshore? His answer, the blind trust controls his funds. Since this article will be read by thousands I do not want to offend anyone with the answer I have in mind about the latter. Romney’s polished robotic answers to nearly every question asked of him lacks the depth I would expect from someone seeking the Presidency. His approach, give the public anything they want to hear, no matter how fallacious the statement is. Romney is being pushed by the big thuds in the media. Ann Coulter exclaimed in a dialogue, “What is wrong with Romney,” who she apparently supports. Ms. Coulter: he is one more inept lawyer who will say or do anything to move up the food chain. Maybe you should go back and reread Demons of Democracy, which presents unequivocal evidence that lawyers are deficient in abilities to manage complex institutions, as exemplified by those who presently infect the Executive Branch. Conservative media has failed in their mission to look deeper at Mitt Romney than his press releases. Political hacks and washed up authors stream across your screen, on any night, asserting the virtues of Romney the candidate. They forget there are a few of us who still do our homework. Romney is the wrong candidate at the wrong time. Obama is already licking his fangs waiting for a debate with the presumed Republican nominee. What color do Republicans bleed?
