OBAMA - RUNNING FROM HIS RECORD, BUT HE WON'T BE ABLE TO HIDE FROM IT.

In a "60 Minutes" interview, Mr. Obama offered what might be insight into his 2012 presidential election strategy. It takes some decoding, but his underlying strategic goals emerge in what he says, "The question next year is going to be — and then this is how a democracy is supposed to work — do they see a more compelling vision coming out from the other side? Do they think that cutting taxes further, including on the wealthy, cutting taxes on corporations, of gutting regulations — do we think that that is going to be somehow more successful? And if the American people think that that’s a recipe for success and a majority are persuaded by that, then I’m going to lose."

It appears he wants the election to be a referendum on the Republican candidates and their political philosophy. By posing the key question as whether the GOP remedy for the economy will be "somehow more successful," he makes it clear that he wants this contest to be about the Republican Party proposals. The proposals from Newt Gingrich, do however hold promise; I’ve seen them work twice in my lifetime.

President Obama hopes he can fool the American People and appear to be running as a non-incumbent, abandoning all but a pro forma defense of his record and instead running as he would were there an open seat, thus pretending it’s the 2008 election again. He wants it to be the 2008 election all over again, where he is free to float ideas without taking any responsibility for his performance in office or that of the economy on his watch. Only this time, unlike his brief, insignificant, and often, "missing-in-action" tenure in the Illinois Legislature and the U.S. Senate, there is a record of his performance this go around – a record and legacy of failure.

I get the impression that he is determined to make the presidential election a contest between two policy alternatives, deliberately omitting the issue of competence, or more so, his incompetence. He wants all the votes that his point of view will permit him to garner despite his obvious incompetence in implementing it. Obama seems to want to turn the election into a referendum on policy, almost as if it were an issue on the ballot rather than a president seeking reelection. While this preference is understandable, given his dismal record, the Republican Party (click for link) cannot let him get away with it. He’s like an incompetent employee hoping to save his job by advocating a broad-based shift in his corporation’s philosophy in the hopes that his bosses will ignore his own poor performance. Anyone with a pulse and a functioning brain could not have overlooked poor performance. I don’t believe that he can convince the majority of Americans the he deserves another term or that it would in any way benefit ‘everyday’, American People.

The key question Republican Candidates must pose to the president: "What are you planning to do in the next four years to get the economy moving that you have not tried and failed with during your first term, especially during that portion of the term when you had total control of Congress and still couldn’t fix the economy?"

Of course, the other part of Obama’s presidential election strategy will be a slash-and-burn approach to attacking his opponent. Using the cooperation of the "bought-and-paid-for" media, he will throw any accusation that comes to mind against his Republican Party opponent in the hope that enough sticks to help him win. But in this essentially negative approach to the campaign, he is laboring under the handicap that the aspiring Republican Candidates will have been thoroughly vetted during the primaries. Any negatives that exist will have been aired so extensively that they will pack little punch in the fall. In this respect, the primary contest is serving to inoculate the potential Republican Candidates by raising all the negatives and exhausting them before the fall presidential election even starts.

As for the rest of Mr. Obama’s strategy — it won’t work. Nobody is going to forget the current state of the economy or fail to remember how ineffective the stimulus program was at doing anything other than digging us deeper into self-destructive debt. The fact is that an incumbent president is up for reelection and there is more than a clash of philosophies at issue. There will be two men, and one of them, Barack Hussein Obama, is a demonstrated failure(click for video).

 I would suggest, in opposition to Obama and his socialist agenda, that Americans not accept the media maneuvers to decieve the public and their attempts to, in effect, select Mitt "Rmoney" as the Republican Nominee and pick a strong, conservative to lead our country out of the current mess and into a properous future; that would be Newt Gingrich (click for link).

Mitt Romney is a Massachusetts Moderate with progressive views. Newt is a Reagan Conservative with a track record to prove it.

I wish you success in your quest to live your life on your terms.
