The man has squandered four years and shown that he has no clue what he is doing. The old addage "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" seems to apply here. If Americans are really foolish enough to re-elect him, then we deserve the consequences, which I do not believe will be good for any of us.

For example, he says he wants to help the housing market, but under his Obamacare law, there will be a new, big tax on sales of real estate (starting in 2014). Oh, did Obama fail to mention that? Of course he did.

Obama says one thing and then acts in a way that runs counter to what he says.

We know that Romney is a moderate who won't do anything to restrict abortion rights, birth control or the like. It's clear from his record. Romney also knows what it means to balance budgets. I liked two statements I heard from him yesterday on the television (I'm on vacation right now so I had a chance to watch him):

1. Raising taxes to raise revenue in this economy is like a dog chasing its tail - the taxes will slow growth, so the Feds won't get the money they need from the tax increase, leading to another increase, etc., and it will never ever be enough.

2. The "you didn't build that" was even worse than the "out of context" line that has become the sound byte. Obama said "you think you succeeded because you're smart or you worked hard, well, lots of people are smart and work hard". This shows a fundamental lack of understanding about business. It is good ideas, hard work and a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING OF RISK that lead to a small business; if someone else works hard, they get a paycheck. If I work hard, I might not get anything if the client refuses to pay, goes bankrupt, disappears, etc. Romney put it very well: a girl on the honor roll might take a school bus to class, but I'm not going to credit the bus driver with her making the honor roll. Yes, we need infrastructure, but trying to make the government an equal partner in our success is perverse. It's statements like the entire "you didn't build that" speech that lead some to think Obama's a socialist. It's not a particular policy, but rather, a sense of contempt or disdain that he has for private enterprise. He really does want to pick the winners and losers.

Oh well, that's enough for me. I'm probably not back online for another couple of days. At this point I wouldn't piss on Obama if he were on fire (think of it as disgust for the man combined with respect for the office of the President ). As you know, I'm not a social conservative, but the thought of another four years for Obama makes me want to vomit.
