MOD NOTE: WALTER E. WILLIAMS DID NOT WRITE THIS!!
Walter E. Williams, (born 1936 in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania ) is a conservative American economist, commentator, and academic. He is the John M Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University , as well as a syndicated columnist and author.
Can President Obama be defeated in 2012? No. He can't.
I am going on record as saying that President Barak Obama will win a second term. The media won't tell you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama's case billions) of dollars to them in advertising. But the truth is, there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012.
The quality of the Republican candidate doesn't matter. Obama gets reelected.
Nine percent unemployment? No problem. Obama will win.
Gas prices moving toward five dollars a gallon? He still wins.
The economy soars or goes into the gutter. Obama wins.
War in the Middle East ? He wins a second term.
America's role as the leading Superpower disappears? Hurrah for Barak Obama!
The U.S. government rushes toward bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama's extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.
You are crazy Williams. Don't you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do. And that's why I know Obama will win.
The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated. Even when Obama's policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use to explain why it isn't his fault. After all, things were much worse than understood when he took office.
Obama's reelection is really a very, very simple math problem. Consider the following:
1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing.
2) College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that,
3) Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope,
4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coattails will carry them to victory nationwide,
5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,
6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics,
7) Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more everyday. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda,
8) The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all... to not love him would be racist,
9) Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,
10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012.
GOD HELP US!

Are you serious? Walter Williams is a pure conservative. Perhaps you have been drinking...
The boy, overlooks the OBVIOUS... maybe on purpose..
What other prediction would anyone expect from ans black socialist democrap!
Obviously neither of you read the article. WILLIAMS DIDN’T WRITE THIS! You’re both idiots.
MoveOn.org puts this crap out and then this thread is started with:
“Absent a STRONG GOP nominee Osama will win handily in 2012.
And right now we have no strong GOP candidates.”
Wow, use of that tired mantra should put a smile on George Soros’ face.
By the time election day 2012 comes, they will be back in the fold.Both Big Biz and the indies can be bought.Both will support the side that promises them the most. Big Biz with donations and indies with votes.
I could name you a dozen off the top of my head !!!
I don’t know who wrote this, but there are some things wrong with the assertions. Blacks, liberals, and Democrats, as well as unions are mostly all the same group. Most blacks are Democrats, liberals are mostly Democrats, and unions are Democrats and consist of some black members as well.
Well. First off, let me just say mea culpa, and apologize to you all, and to your Mr Williams, for causing distress and for incorrectly maligning him.
That said, I was not entirely wrong.
There is another Walter E. Williams who is (was, actually, as he apparently died a few years ago) as I described, a black DC-centric Democrat.
He was the mayor of the District of Columbia, and when running for reelection was defeated in a primary by none other than Marion Barry; Barry was endorsed in that primary by none other than The Washington Post.
See here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Washington
and here - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/library/dc/barry/78endors.htm
Unbeknown to me, because I left DC in late 2000, the Walter E. Washington I meant (and thought you all were talking about) died in 2003.
So. Again my apologies.
But while I was wrong, sort of, I was not drunk. Neither am I insane nor am I a liberal idiot. I just remembered another Walter Williams.
And no, I have no idea whether the two are related.
Well, crap. I have apparently had the same brain fart two days running. Walter E. Williams is not related to Walter E. Washington. They are not the same man, and I have no earthly idea how I confused the two. This is truly embarrassing.
I’ll take my well deserved beating now, and just kind of slink off into the corner here . . .
Humanity is hard. :)
LOL Just about all of us were wondering.
Congratulations on your accurate perception of the fraud. Wonder who perpetrated the fraud?
It’s ok we all make mistakes, not me of course but other people.
;-)
Maybe they are twin brothers. Same first name and middle initial!
