Obama's Second-Term Plan Is Nothing But A Stage Prop
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 10/25/2012 | IBD Staff

Election 2012: Anyone wondering why President Obama waited to reveal his second-term agenda should read his "plan." It's nothing but a stage prop full of recycled policies, failed ideas and stuff he ignored in his first term.

Even crediting Obama with putting forth a new plan is being too generous. All he really did was scrape together the handful of proposals he'd put up on his campaign website and add some nice photos and pretty graphics.

But since he's waving around his 20-page, seven-point (two more than Romney's!) plan at every campaign stop and acting like it's a credible strategy to create jobs, we feel it deserves a careful reading. Here's what we found.

I've talked to Liberals until I am blue faced. I give them facts & figures proving Obama is a total failure. In the end, most of them shrug their shoulders & say they intend to vote for Obama anyway.

The blind, emotion based responses of these people amaze & infuriate me! Allowing them to vote is destroying this country.

Obama is running basically on the same themes he used in 2008: jobs, economy, etc.

The trouble is, he is running against the guy who has been in the Oval Office the last 4 years — and that is HIM.

For 4 years, Obama has blamed Bush for the ‘mess’ he inherited. The president sworn on January 20, 2013, will be inheriting an even worse mess regarding jobs, the economy, foreign affairs, etc.

Obama 2012 is trying to defeat the inept and incompetent Obama of 2008. Trouble is, they turn out to be the same guy, and that guy is trying to sell the same pablum he sold in 2008.

The real question is: Who paid for those 20 page glossy booklets, the Obama campaign or you and me?

I know what you mean. Maybe there should be a litmus test given before people are allowed to vote. Most of them are totally ignorant of the issues and the dire straits this county is in. And, they blindly spew the Dem talking points - points that have been recycled every election year.

Its so frustrating. I want to grab them and shake them until they wake up.

baraq’s plan is to “finish the job”.

R and R ought to remind people that if he does finish the job, we are all finished.

2 pages more than Romney’s plan

I’ve heard that half of the pages are photographs of 0bama. Some plan.

I find it frightening, a difference of opinion is one thing but this is different. Those who still try to pretend that Obama is worthy of reelection (as if he were worthy of the first election) may as well stand in front of an oncoming semi-truck traveling at seventy miles an hour and say that they are not in danger. They are simply REFUSING to deal with reality. There is literally no excuse for any American to cast one single vote to reelect this enemy of our country.
It is scary to realize that as bad as Obama is he is NOT the problem, he is only the symptom, the real problem is our degenerate electorate.
