Obama's Negative Campaign Against Success

By Robert Tracinski

Excerpts:

• Yet the real focus of the left's negative campaign is on the issue of economic class.
• What they are really attacking is wealth and success. 
• Obama is signaling that his goal is not to boost the economy and make everyone prosperous. He wants us to forget about raising ourselves up and focus instead on knocking somebody else down.
• Whatever you may think of Romney's political career, his career in the private realm is a story of unusual competence and achievement. Yet it is precisely that story that Obama wants to deny, disparage, and even criminalize.
• The question in November is how many voters will accept this warped message--how many will be like Brownstein's swing voters--and how many will be repulsed by it. That, in turn, will depend on what Mitt Romney does to fight back, not just against the details of the negative attacks on him, but against the world view behind them. [emphasis added]

Excellent.  We are like the frogs in the rising temperature of an anti success mindset that Obama is creating.  It is happening slow enough so that people don't know that it is happening.  If it happened suddenly, they'd run, not walk away from this guy.

Bain attacks just another War on America tactic

Looking at the RealClearPolitics site, there's numerous pieces about the Bain attacks against Romney.

Stop and think about what that means.  Here's Obama gutting Welfare Reform, actively recruiting people to increase the Food Stamp rolls, canceling the Keystone Pipeline, expanding federal power to regulate businesses out of business, raising taxes on everybody who is still working, refusing to expand his executive power to unblock shovel ready projects even though he is expanding his executive power in many other ways- and now blaming a successful capitalist for being successful at creating and saving jobs.   Obama refusing to put people to work and insists upon giving away freebies, yet somehow he's better for the economy.  How's that been working out?  Has the economy been producing jobs?

This country was built on the work ethic.  What has Obama against that?  It was built on Capitalism, not on welfare.  What has Obama against people going back to work?

He is making war on what built this country.  That is so he can tear it down.  Why?

Obama a divider, not a uniter

Obama wants to blame everyone but himself for the polarization of American politics, but what about this?

Excerpts:

• When Rose asked Obama if he was on the list of those deserving some of the shared blame, he responded: “I think there is no doubt that I underestimated the degree to which in this town politics trumps problem solving.” Short answer: No.
• So when Sen. John Kyl (R-Ariz.) raised an objection in January of 2009 to the idea of a tax credit for people who don’t pay income taxes, the president’s haughty response—”I won. So I think on that one, I trump you”
• he smirked in October of 2010 that after driving “the economy into a ditch” the Republicans could “come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”
• Clearly when Obama said of Rep. Paul Ryan’s deficit plan that the GOP’s “vision is less about reducing the deficit than it is about pitting “children with autism or Down’s syndrome” against “every millionaire and billionaire in our society,” he meant it in the nicest possible way. Similarly, the “enemies” he promised to “punish” while addressing a Latino audience must have been someone other than the Republicans.

This is what you should expect from someone who doesn't share our values, nor does he seem to be like the rest of us.

Today Is Bastille Day: The Differences In Our Revolutions

Dick Morris TV: History Video!

Morris points out that Obama is out of step with the American Revolution, and in more sympathy with the French.

Paul Krugman seems to admire the French model, so this seems to make sense as Krugman is typical of the left-wing viewpoint.

Nevada isn't a sure bet for Obama

even Democrats complain that the president hasn't done enough to fix the economy.

"We just tell them, 'Well, he's tried, but he can't get past the filibusters and the Republicans.'" At that point, she said, people sometimes hang up.

Blaming the Republicans is just wrong.  Here's an example of why jobs are not really Obama's main priority:

And calls for investment in infrastructure may lead people to recall his chuckling admission that there are no shovel-ready projects, thanks to regulatory and legal roadblocks. 

More excuse making.  But if he really had jobs as a priority, he would have waived those regulations and legal roadblocks like he did with respect to welfare reform of the nineties.   He is willing to make war on America with his imperial decrees, but not one of those decrees are helping people find jobs.  Washington is broken, alright, but he's the main reason that it is.  Blaming others for his own failure will not solve any problems.  When he goes, that will enable some real problem solving to take place.

Peter Diamandis - The best way to predict the future

Is to make it happen.

Al Fin: "Have You Always Wanted to Change the World?"

Quotes- Peter Diamandis:

How many things don’t happen because people don’t believe they can?

We’ve gone from a society where if something wasn’t prohibited then it was legal to a society where if something isn’t explicitly permitted it’s illegal

Things don't happen by themselves.  Things don't happen just because the time has come for it to happen.  Things happen because certain people have the will to make it happen.  That's what I believe.  That's also what I believe to be the thing that's missing in this society.   Better get it back or we're finished.

Offering prizes like Diamandis is doing is a good thing.  But it may not be enough.  You will have to weed out the weak elements.  That may take a bit of a ruthless attitude that nobody is prepared for.  Somebody like Obama may force this will to respond and assert itself or to forever slink with their tails between their legs into the background while letting the forces of decay to take over.
