Guaranteed. (Vanity)
April 10, 2012 | By Lazamataz

Posted on 04/10/2012 10:05:35 AM PDT by Lazamataz

It pains me to write this, but I am a realist: Barack Obama is one-hundred-percent guaranteed to win the 2012 Presidential race, and there is precious little anyone can do about it.

Please do not take this as a license to do nothing to prevent it. It is best that we go to our fate knowing we did all we could to stop it. We must know in deep in our core that all our hearts and souls were poured into thwarting the plans of this tyrant.

However: allow me to present the reasons I know we are destined to have another -- terminal -- four years of Obama:

  1. War With Iran: One-hundred-percent chance of Obama going to war with Iran in August of 2012. This will be a cynical pseudo-war intended ONLY to benefit Obama with the very-long-demonstrated rally-round-the-President phenomenon. August also gives the proper time frame to allow the momentum to build in Obama's favor, and yet not be long enough of a 'war' to garner popular anger. It also prevents the Republicans from having enough time to educate the public about this hideously-cynical Machiavellian move.
  2. High Gas Prices as a Positive: The War with Iran will allow Obama to claim he is doing this to reduce gasoline prices, or prevent them from rising. This is nonsense, of course: It will be launched for political reasons and his Transportation Secretary pick, Steven Chu, has long been on record as favoring very high gasoline prices.
  3. Race Wars: Racial low-grade warfare will be purposefully pushed by this Administration, and coupled with a complicit press, the incidents of black-on-white violent crime will be 'disappeared down the memory hole', but any white-on-black violent crime will be heralded and trumpeted on every headline on every newspaper and Gangster Government Media outlet. This is intended to increase the black vote.
  4. Lies about the Economy: The complicit press will continue to lie about the economy, biasing things to show Obama in a good light.
  5. Occupy Wall Street: Occupy Wall Street protests will drastically increase, in a manner intended to highlight Mitt Romney's wealth and paint him as a 1%-er, and paint Obama as an average guy.
These are the major election strategies Obama clearly intends to run on. Add in some of the more minor strategies: Active and ignored voter fraud; Ignoring and overruling Supreme Court rulings on Obamacare being unconstitutional; and the fabricated 'Republican war on women', and you have a formula for guaranteed Obama re-election.

And if you thought Obama was bad in Presidential term one, imagine him with nothing to lose in Presidential term two.

Add the 'loaned backbones' of some seasoned, combat-experienced Generals,...

Remember what these generals did when Putin stuck it to Georgia, and consider...

1) Putin specifically engineered the Georgia operation to humiliate the US and NATO.

2) To deliver a object lesson to any European nation that would suck up to the US, aspire to join NATO, aspire to join the EU.

3) Used a justification identical to the US justification for the the rape of Serbia and Kosovo.

4) Secured all the oil and gas pipelines to Europe.

And the US did what?

Yep, them combat experienced generals will be real anxious to help out Zero.

All due respect, but I just can’t see Obama taking the offensive militarily versus the Persians. Dude has no spine when it comes to the military, and plus, it’ll alienate his leftist base big-time.

The key that most FReepers forget: 90% of voters will split the vote regardless of who’s on the ticket. Seriously, you could run Mother Theresa vs. Cuthulu and they’d get a 45/45 split. Of the remaining 10% (could be a mere 5%, adjust math accordingly) to win one only need persuade 5.01% - and these are people who view both viable candidates as equal (otherwise they would be in the 90%+ category). Persuasion need not be total, it just need be a marginal preference. Classic techniques for garnering that marginal preference are (A) war, and (B) money: give ‘em a reason to not change mid-stream in something serious, and/or pay ‘em enough that they’ll be beholden to the candidate. The military is already chomping at the bit for a fight so however much our current POTUS dislikes such things he can just say “do it” out of political expediency and walk away, returning to his specialty of smokey backroom deals for buying votes via handing out large piles of money he has authority to give yet he’s not responsible for.

The antiwar hypocrites on the left won't allow #1 unless it's done via proxies. I do not expect War With Iran.

He will continue to spin gas prices, and plans to reduce them, but I expect they'll peak and fall in time for reelection. He isn't being hammered on gas prices like Bush because it's not part of the tiresome "Big Oil" narrative. It's all beyond his control, don't you know.

The kneejerk demagogic Trayvon stand is the very definition of low-grade racial warfare. The war on voter ID is another front in that strategy. The pressitute framework that criticism or facts about Obama's = racism is another. Many more of these divisive lines of attack ahead. The "historic" nature of his presidency is his Trump card. Based upon his objective record, if he were John F. Kerry, his reelection goose would be cooked. Generations of race card indoctrination by the Left's plantation mentality evangelists all but assure a first term mulligan for the golfer-in-chief.

Lies about the economy and cooked books are standards.

Occupy will be used against Romney. We've seen it all along, even this week Obama saying they couldn't afford Michelle not working despite his $162,000 a year salary. His salary put them well inside the top ten percent of all incomes and hers put them in the fabled top one percent.

He will run against a "do nothing Congress" despite the obstructionism of hooligan Harry Reid's Senate. The press and his campaign will depend upon an ignorance of the American People who will take "congress" as to mean the GOP-controlled House.

He will run against SCOTUS if the ObamaCare is struck down, in whole or in part. He will use it as reason he needs to be reelected: to ensure more fair and socially-minded justices are appointed to the High Court rather than right-wing extremists like Alito, Scalia or Thomas.

Lastly, as you mention, is the phony "war on women." Actress Park Overall (nurse on Empty Nest) is using that to launch her Tennessee Democrat bid for the U.S. Senate seat up for reelection in November. There is no candidate taking away contraception, not even senator sanctimonious. This was settled by the Supreme Court 7-2, almost 50 years ago, that states cannot ban contraception (Griswold v. CT). The modern "debate" is all about who pays. We know birth control using women can pay $4/mo or even $10 for three months supply at outlets like Walmart even today. If contraception is your choice and you can't afford $3/mo, you have no business lying down with a man nor he with you.

There's high probability Obama is reelected; if he's not, I'll wonder if have reached the start of a post-racial period. I'd like to believe four more of Obama/Biden's not quite set in stone but I'm not bullish on GOP's chances even at keeping the House.

Dig, but even then, a cold, calculating douche like Obama knows that if he does, he'll be putting his head in a noose, because then he'll be George Bush in Iraq. An all-out war with Iran will make Iraq look like amateur hour; we're talking a long, protracted war here. Drafts. Big-time deprivations back on the home front. Cats and dogs living together. Bye-bye lefty base, too, for coming to Israel's aid.

WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: “Pump and Dump”

I’ve read the comments by people sayin’ they are conservative. If Romney gets the nomination…or if Gingrich gets the nomination…or if Santorum gets the nomination…whoever gets the f-cking nomination – they are sayin’ they won’t voter for them because “they’re just like Obama.” Really? Is that right? BULLSH-T. There ain’t nobody “just like Obama” people. Believe me. You ain’t got a f-cking clue if that’s what you really think. This country ain’t seen anybody reach the White House like Obama. Or more importantly – the people around Obama. The ones supporting and pushing Obama. Giving him the agenda, the words, the whole f-cking plan. So shut the hell up about not voting for the Republican because they are “just like Obama.” That kind of talk is comin’ from somebody who either is dumb as f-ck or is working for the campaign. The Obama campaign. And they are crawling all over your stupid Facebook thing. And leaving comments on your stories. I warned you about that. There’s gonna be more of it. A lot more. You hear somebody saying they won’t support the Republican because they are ”just like Obama” – you ignore that sh-t. It ain’t worth your time.

Any of these Republicans – ANY OF THEM, are a hell of an improvement over Barack Obama. If it’s Santorum, or Romney, or Gingrich, or Paul…you fall in line and you support that candidate and you vote Obama the f-ck out. That’s the goal. That’s your motivation. PERIOD. Because if you don’t do that…if you give this administration four more years…I’ve already said enough on that, right? It’s never going back…the country…this version of America is finished and I got no real idea as to how different it’s gonna be. We won’t recognize it – I know that. I was talking to a fella last week about the Senate…plans to take the Senate. Republicans. As a stop-gap, right? You know what he told me? Looked me straight in the eye and said – “It won’t matter. He has pushed executive authority so far already…it won’t matter. Give him a couple more Supreme Court nominees…it won’t matter. If he gets the White House again…IT WON’T MATTER.”


As much as I loathe Romney, I can't say I don't agree with WH Insider here...

I think I’m about resigned to your opinion as well.

With Rick dropping out and not asking for his delegates to pledge and support Newt we’re about done.

Unless Newt is wholey committed to a floor fight.

I’ve already heard these things from friends who are zombies.

When I frame the issues to what are real and not inventions they quiet down but I think the are hopeless and legion.

They don’t get that the fight on Health Care isn’t about health Care, rather that a government can impose its will on us and dictate how we live our live.

[shrug] SOP for dictators. Remove part of the population (be it temporary or permanent), institute strict control of resources for whoever remains. Latter is tolerated because it "benefits" the former. Won't be so much for Israel's aid as to stand aloof and calm the antagonists to protect the world's needs - to wit, a war for oil.

Methinks you're making Laz's point for him.

Newt announced his support for Romney over the week-end. That is probably what persuaded Santorum to drop out.

Sadly, moments after I posted, Santorum dropped out. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems Romney is the GOP nominee. That is profoundly discouraging to me, and will take some time to digest.

The spineless little b@st@rd authorized military action on sovereign soil (Pakistan's) to get Osama. What makes you think he wouldn't threaten Iran if it suited his purpose?

Some say Hillary and Leon made the decision for him and then hauled his sorry @ss off the golf course in time to watch the raid. Could be true. And if an Iranian conflict suits their purpose to stay in power?

I don't put anything past them.

Granted, I hear where you're coming from, but I'm thinking that taking out the dude who masterminded 9/11 is one thing; taking on the entire sovereign nation of Iran is quite another. When Obama "took out" Osama, at least he could say "hey, I just did what George Bush couldn't do despite eight years of trying." But taking on Iran is a different kettle of fish. That, in my opinion, would require mobilizing the country on a near WWII level. We'd have to go on a real war footing as a nation.

And like cdonath2 said above, that might be making Laz's case right there, but I'd argue that the sort of mobilization war with Iran would require would be a hard sell among Obama's base. Is Obama a good enough salesman to make that case? Maybe yes, maybe no. God knows he'd have the media to make his case for him, a la the USS Maine, but . . .

. . . I just don't know. In my heart of hearts, I can't see it. Maybe you guys are right. All I do know is that we're approaching crunch time: BIG TIME.

And yeah, if we're actually tangled in an all-out war with Persia in four months, there's no way Obama is not re-elected.
