Why Obama Will Be Defeated in 2012

By Alan Caruba

To this observer, the likelihood of Barack Obama being reelected in 2012 is so remote that I can safely predict it will not happen. Of course, as is commonly said, two weeks, let alone two years, is a long time in politics and all manner of events could intervene, but if one follows the trends in place, he will be a one term president.

Recall that Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush were one term presidents for differing reasons. Despite a genuine victory when U.S. led forces drove Saddam Hussein’s army out of Kuwait, Bush 41 was savagely attacked by a hostile press throughout the campaign and his term in office. The former WWII hero was called a “wimp” and, when he did accede to raising taxes, he sealed his own fate. As to Carter, he was seen by all to have been a monumental failure.

Almost weekly the incompetence and sheer arrogance of President Obama has been manifest since he took the oath of office. I recall an interview in which he expressed the opinion that he might well be a one term president and I thought that odd at the time.

In retrospect, it seems to me now that he always knew that his radical socialist agenda would likely ensure his defeat for a second term. Obama was and is the "Manchurian candidate", put into the Oval Office to achieve as quickly as possible the completion of a Socialist/Communist agenda.

To put it another way, the destruction of the capitalist economic system that has been the foundation of America’s great wealth and power has always been the goal of the Left. To achieve this, Obama installed 32 “czars” in the White House, most of whom were not vetted by Congress, nor are answerable to it. They promulgate policies and regulations while by-passing congressional oversight. It's one thing to have advisors and quite another to have co-conspirators.

One has to reach back to the Clinton years to recall how soundly rebuffed “Hillarycare” was as the initial attempt to take over the health care industry in America. One needs to recall how Hillary Clinton fought through the primaries until her only opponent was Barack Obama and how, after he had secured the Democratic Party nomination, the plum assignment of Secretary of State was given to her; two peas from the same Alinsky pod.

On top of the financial crisis that too conveniently began as the 2008 campaigns were coming to an end was the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—Obamacare—that was taken off the shelf and, this time, forced through a Democrat controlled Congress, often with bribes, often with a lot of brutal political arm twisting. And the response, even before it became law a year ago was the sudden rise of the Tea Party movement.

The next response came in the 2010 elections that returned political power in the House to Republicans and narrowed the Democrat majority in the Senate. And that is why Barack Obama will be defeated in 2012.

Another factor that will contribute to his defeat has been his support for the gangster tactics of public service unions in Wisconsin and the runaway members of its legislature. Opposition to the public sector unions has been on the rise in the nation as more voters became aware of how they have bankrupted virtually every State with salaries, pensions and healthcare plans that exceed those of taxpayers who are expected to pay for them.

Then there are the events in the Middle East and Obama’s uncertain response to them. The immediate impact will be a rise in the cost of gasoline at the pump and that is something that everyone can grasp. Add to that Obama’s attack on the nation’s energy industries, coal, oil, and natural gas, and you have the perfect storm for a president whose popularity is dropping.

In the past two years during which upwards of twenty million Americans lost their jobs, the unseemly and frequent vacations by the President or by his wife have not been well received by those less fortunate and, it should be said, less ostentatious. Dictating what Americans should eat while dining on spare ribs reminded many of the First Lady’s caloric hypocrisy.

Mostly, though, it has been the accumulation of lies about virtually all aspects of his political agenda that now comprises a record that will be mined by whoever is chosen to run against him in 2012.

There are still, however, two more years to go and Barack Hussein Obama and his “czars” can do a lot of damage if not thoroughly reined in by Republicans in Congress. Americans have little choice other than to survive Obama at this point in time. And we will.

Comment by Douglas E. Bynum on March 13, 2011 at 9:42am: He will be defeated by a candidate that keeps this in mind: Make sure to put in place policies like Scott Walker

Gov. Wisconsin; completely curtail the state public trade unions; next start hitting retail stores like walmart, farmfresh,

foodlion, & Krogers hefty fines, because they don't hire applicants that are republicans or conservatives & if they do,

they grossly mistreat them, then fire them. If a candidate implements this, they will win! This is wake-up call to our candidate to rain in check GE, walmart, mcdonald's, & Geo. Soros, & get rid of their Co.s' if their businesses are breaking the law.

Comment by Dario on March 10, 2011 at 12:24am: I really don't understand why the funds for paying the "czars" cannot be defunded by the House. They certainly won't work for a Communist Dictator wannabe for nothing. Certainly, there must be something Congress can do to STOP these unelected, free wheeling Communists! Any suggestions, ideas, anyone?. BY THE WAY WE NEED TO FLOOD GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE WITH LETTERS PLEADING FOR HIM TO RUN AGAINST OBAMA. HE HAS ALL THE TALENT, HE IS HONEST, HE IS REPUBLICAN IN A TEA PARTY WAY, AND HE HAS THE HUTSPUH AND CHARISMA TO PULL IT OFF!

Comment by Douglas E. Bynum on March 9, 2011 at 11:15am: There is great tide of resentment in America as to how Barak Obama is running the affairs of our Nation. However, with the continued involvement of Americans we can vote into power a GOP Candidate that will correct all the wrongs the have been put into place by the current administration & put our economy but on the right track.

Comment by Jeri Irene LeRoi on March 8, 2011 at 7:06pm: While I believe the number of people wnating to defeat Obama is growing, our biggest threat is the voter fraud that is done by "project vote" and other Soros funded organization. More states must protect the vote by insisting that proof of citizenship must be shown when registering and voting in this country. Write to your state legislature and insist thaey protect the CITIZEN'S VOTE by requiring adequate proof, birth certificate or Naturlization papers when they register to vote.

Comment by Roland C. Cartier Jr on March 8, 2011 at 5:51pm: The only reason that these Liberal media outlets exist is because of one man only and that man is George Soros. With our help we can defeat them Big or Small and let God sort them out. My fellow Veterans should know what I mean by this phrase.

Comment by willie b here on March 8, 2011 at 3:59pm: John

Those were my veiws,and I respect the views all others. You made a good point. The same ones are down on Obama, he is really showing his colors.

I have not chosen anyone, and can find major flaws with all candidates. Someone will pop and start to shine. I hope the TPN has the same views, because I will stand united with our candidate.

We should discuss strengths and weaknesses and all views matter. Our choice should be vetted, vetted and revetted until we know his shoe size and favorite colors. May sound funny but we wont have another mistake "obama".

We should know what he will say to a political question, before he answers. We know what we want we just need to come togather and find the right one. Vote united, reguardless

Comment by John R. Lancellotti on March 8, 2011 at 3:39pm: b mathews... Trump has not declared yet. He's just thinking about it. Let's wait until he throws his hat into the ring. Best always, John

Comment by b mathews on March 8, 2011 at 3:39pm: watching fox news today, its becoming obvious that many, many people are beginning to put 2 & 2 together. (obama and the muslims) they are starting to ask questions (about time) as to why he continually defends the muslims and refuses to call them extremists or muslim radicals. why he wont admit that all the recent attacks have been by muslim terrorists. not all mu8slims are terrorists, but ALL terrorists ARE muslim.

Comment by b mathews on March 8, 2011 at 3:26pm: so far im actually liking trump for this time around. he already knows, has dealt with or done business with most of the world leaders and has their respect. and im sure he wont be going around the world apologizing for america. he knows just about everything there is to know about the business world and how to make money. he's tough (not wishy washy) and would probably be as ready as anyone on day one. we need to give him a chance and see what ideas he comes up with. besides who would you rather have as a first lady..moochele or Malania ? lets invite trump to speak at some tpn gatherings and hear him out.
