NOTE to non-OH readers. Because I live in OH, a major battleground state, I may be seeing a lot of ads you never see--at least not yet.
ANYTHING TO AVOID TALKING ABOUT FAILURE
One of the key secrets to analyzing Annual Reports for businesses is to look for what isn't there. What does the company seem to NOT want to talk about. Anything good will be a headline. Anything making progress or on plan will be in the commentary. What won't be there is what's not going well, or what is totally screwed up. IF this sounds a lot like Barack Obama's campaign strategy--IT IS!
OBAMA'S RECORD AS PRESIDENT IS ABYSMAL, TERRIBLE, AND WORSE THAN HIS PREDECESSORS BY A COUPLE OF ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE.
One point is certain--voters who want four more years of misery, bad economic performance and lots of speeches full of excuses, finger pointing, blaming others for everything that went wrong--then by all means, vote for Obama again. Obama continues to throw rocks at Mitt Romney's job creation, (or destruction)--but nobody is calling out Obama on his false promises about FIVE Million Green Energy jobs, or his vaunted "Shovel Ready Jobs," and on, and on. There are lots of ways to help the American economy recover--they are just diametrically opposite of what Obama has done.
LIARS CANNOT BE TRUSTED
Few things undermine the trust in a leader like catching him/her in a lie--or worse yet a series of lies. Penn State is finding out about this right now. Ohio State's former coach, Jim Tressel learned about the danger of lies compounding, and it cost him his OSU career--and Ohio State a lot of its credibility. Political candidates are not known as models of veracity--but they usually avoid the most obvious, most blatant and most easily proven lies. In today's always on, video, audio, smart phone, YouTube society, catching a public figure in a lie is easier than ever--and it becomes much easier when the person is a "serial prevaricator"--in effect, a "target rich environment."
President Barack Obama, as he heats up his reelection campaign is approaching this perilous territory. Loyalists and supporters will believe the lies and half-truths--but not forever--as the evidence mounts. When does it "blow up?" Perhaps in Nov. 2012! Here's why. The Obama campaign ads to date are seizing on anything to fabricate lies and half-truths about Mitt Romney, or to make fun of him and his family, (aided and abetted by the "Mainstream Liberal Media") or to denigrate Romney's distinguished career and accomplishments—and his character.
This President has stooped lower than even I imagined he might--and it's still 3-½ months to the election. What he will do next is almost unimaginable. What he won't do is fix America's broken economy. He may "break it worse." Whether he does or doesn't know what to do is not the issue--he wants to avoid that discussion at all costs. If he knows what to do in the next four years (he wants to be re-elected), then why hasn't he done it up until now, and why hasn't what he has done, worked? But Obama doesn't want to have that discussion. Worst of all: a lot of the uninformed, misinformed, misguided, misled and desperate American people are starting to believe the lies that are repeated over and over (with great production values), backed by $100 million so far, and more to come.
MANY OTHERS HAVE SAID IT--I'M JUST ECHOING THEIR ASSERTION THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS A LIAR
(I know, they said that about Bush too. And Clinton actually got caught at it!) Simply Google Obama & Liar and see how many places are cataloging and listing his apparent lies. I was going to put a list of all the links but it was too long--and I didn't have time to sort through them all for the most credible ones. I posted a few below. Many politicians break campaign promises. Sometimes they just can't keep promises. (Like Obama's "closing Guantanamo" promise that he quickly found was both foolish and impractical--releasing known terrorists to commit new acts of terrorism. I give him a partial pass on that one for "enthusiastic naivete"--something he has plenty of.)
BUT FROM MANIPULATOR TO LIAR IS A BIG STEP
Obama is no longer just a manipulator who uses dishonest statements to mislead people--although he is good at that too. He seems to be jumping to using carefully worded lies, in which he has now been caught too many times. The apparent lies are so frequent and so egregious (and many of them are in his CAMPAIGN ADS) that we almost become immune to them after a while. The problem is that many people believe them. After all, they are cleverly done, run over and over, and carry within them enough truth to suck in the uninformed, the not too bright, and the dependent under-class of Americans who love this charlatan.
THE CAMPAIGN STRATEGY IS TO TELL THE SAME LIES SO MANY TIMES, PEOPLE START TO ACCEPT & BELIEVE THEM
It's an old trick and for the uninformed, not too bright and apathetic (or deeply troubled) voters--it works. These are heavy Obama supporters. His campaign ads play to the very people whose dependence and hence allegiance Obama "buys" with our tax money. Of course a high percentage of blacks love him. He's their guy; their shining star; and the one who will give them everything they want--but are not willing or able to get by hard work. NOTE: There are many successful, smart and responsible black Americans…and many of them think Obama is a sham and a phony too.
OBAMA = FOUR MORE YEARS OF MISERY! THERE SHOULD BE A BUMPER STICKER OF THAT PHRASE.
OR MAYBE IT SHOULD BE: "HOPE, CHANGE, & FAILURE = 4 MORE YEARS"
BARACK OBAMA BENDS THE TRUTH IN TOO MANY WAYS TO EVEN KEEP TRACK OF—AND HIS CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION HELPS FABRICATE NEW LIES—AND ADVERTISE THEM
Even though I know Snopes is biased liberal, I thought you might find the following article from snopes.com interesting: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/50lies.asp

A THOUGHT FOR MITT ROMNEY--ATTACK OBAMA--PUT HIM ON THE DEFENSIVE
I am not sure if Mitt is biding his time, to get closer to the election, but I sure hope he will go after Obama on his massive failures, lies, and even his dirty, murky, hidden background.
THE LATEST OBAMA TRICK? START A WAR--"WAG THE DOG" (A movie, if you want to see how it's done, starring Al Pacino)
The massing of US Naval might in the area of Iran is a very possible prelude to Obama trying to start something in October, in hopes of rallying the voters behind the incumbent president--no matter how big a failure he has been. It is a real worry…one that is shared by some very knowledgeable, retired, and high ranking US military officers. Don't bet against it. This guy will stop at nothing to get reelected so he can finish destroying America "in his image."
IF YOU THINK I AM BEING TOO ALARMIST, THEN YOU NEED TO READ MORE MATERIAL ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING
One of the benefits of having a sizable network of smart people who read and listen to more than I can, but then send me "head up" messages of material I might never find. Thus I share it with you. I am actually looking forward to taking a break from it all for a week or two to see if my perspective changes. I'll send out one more edition, next week, and then there will be a break. But do not let down your guard. Speak up and speak out. Influence as many independent, undecided and uninformed people as you can--especially younger voters or potential voters. The truth is on our side. Spread the word.
BEST, JOHN
