By Wayne Allyn Root, Former Libertarian Vice Presidential Nominee
It’s all over for Mr. Obama. He is a one-term President, destined to go down in the record books as the man who presided over a second Great Depression, the destruction of the middle class, and the loss of America’s Triple A credit rating. The proof is found in the historic, almost unimaginable, GOP victory in Anthony Weiner’s old Congressional district in Queens. Yes, I said Queens- as in New York City. Heavily Democratic, heavily liberal Jewish, Queens, New York. The center of blue-collar white Democratic Party power. Republican Bob Turner pulled off one of the biggest upsets in U.S. political history there last night. He became the first Republican elected from this heavily Jewish Democratic Queens, NY district since 1923.
There are no excuses. In a district that is 40% Jewish and filled with Orthodox Jews, a 70-year old Catholic Republican upset a Orthodox Jewish Democrat from a prominent Queens political family. Democrats pulled out every stop. Big labor campaigned day and night for the Democrat. Former President Bill Clinton and popular New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lent their voices to get-out-the-vote robo-calls to Democratic voters. And none of it mattered. The Jews have abandoned Obama.
The average voter doesn’t understand the “inside Baseball” of politics. But here is the “Monarch Notes” of the GOP’s historic victory. First, the anger of white middle class voters towards Obama is boiling over across the country. If Obama has lost Jewish support in Queens, he’s lost support from white middle class voters everywhere. Second, Obama’s mishandling of the economy is destroying the middle class, and even lifelong Democrats in Queens, NY are feeling the pain (and clearly seeing Obama’s incompetence). But this picture is incomplete.
Here’s the big reason for this historic GOP victory that few outside New York understand: This race really was about much more than the economy or jobs. Sure those issues were a constant backdrop. But in the end, it was about common sense issues for Jewish voters: Israel and the Mosque at Ground Zero. Jewish voters are outraged at how Obama has treated Israel; disgusted with Obama’s support of the Palestinians, led by terror groups; and shocked by the support of both Obama and the losing Democratic Congressional candidate for the Mosque at Ground Zero.
The heroes of this once-in-a-century historic upset are former New York Mayor Ed Koch and the Republican Jewish Coalition, both of whom worked hard to spread one simple but powerful message to Jewish voters: “Send a message to Obama that Israel is America’s best friend, and you do not accept the way Obama has treated Israel.” The Jewish voters of Queens were told by Koch and the Republican Jewish Coalition that there was only one way to send this message- elect a Republican Congressman for the first time in modern history.
Message sent. Game. Set. Match.
But it wasn’t just Obama who heard the message. It was Hillary Clinton too. Hillary now knows Obama is weak and vulnerable…among Democrats. And among Jewish Democrats who have loyally voted Democrat their entire lifetimes. If the Jews have abandoned Obama, turn out the lights and close the door behind this President.
This political pundit predicted on Fox News Channel over 18 months ago that Hillary Clinton would challenge and defeat President Obama in a Presidential primary in 2012, once voters experienced the carnage wreckage of the economy under a socialist President. I believe Hillary is weighing her options at this very moment. She now knows that blue-collar white Democratic voters across America have broken with Obama. The Jews are the final straw that broke the camel’s back. It is now clear that in places filled with white blue-collar voters- like Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Texas- Hillary could defeat Obama in a Presidential primary- just as I predicted 18 months ago.
Only one thing is holding Hillary back from a decision to jump into the race. I believe she is concerned with political strategy. She now knows she can defeat Obama in a Democratic primary. Her only concern is the loss of black voters for the general election. If black voters see Hillary as a back-stabber of their beloved Obama, and sit on their hands for the 2012 general election, Hillary cannot possibly defeat her Republican opponent. That is the debate now raging in Hillary’s camp of political advisors. Her question is simple- Is there a way to defeat Obama but still retain the support of black Democratic voters for the general election? If Hillary and her advisers can come up with a positive answer, she will soon announce that she is running against the incumbent Democratic occupant of the White House for President of the United States.
Here's the only plausible scenario..next summer..when his numbers show an impending defeat..senior congressional dems will ask him to step aside, and Hillary will be nominated by acclimation at the convention...
Not to worry. Those voters will obediently swing back into line come 2012.
Ha, ha - Nelson laugh from the Simpson’s. The democrats are in a bind ! Hilliary runs and is seen as backstabbing the blacks or zero runs and get hammered in the 2012 election. THe only saving grace for them would be if zero does not run for a 2nd term which could well be the path.
In a general election...
The Dem machine would be her only support.
The economy will be so bad by then no person with any functioning brain cells would vote for her because she sings the same song of big government, progressive, etc.
she has a closet full of skeletons, connected to muzzies, commies, arkancide, wall street, big business, unions, etc.
epic fail.
Sadly, I agree with you.
Freepers don't seem to realize all these "anti-Obama" pieces by Wayne Allyn Root are to position himself as the "true conservative candidate" in 2012 so he can get the Libertarian nomination for Prez, split the conservative vote, and re-elect Obama.
He and ex-conservative Bob Barr already helped deliver NC to Obama in 2008 by trashing Sarah Palin.
We need to start the drumbeat to democrap blacks: “Don’t you wish the first black president was not an incompetant boob that the communists put forth to use you for your vote?”
If you listen to Evita these days, she IS campaigning
Her question is simple- Is there a way to defeat Obama but still retain the support of black Democratic voters for the general election?
You ever hear Hilly talk Black....it’s worse than Zero’s.
And if he chooses not to step aside? If he decides he'd rather see the Dem Party go down in flames rather than be spurned, and retreats to his bunker to issue proclamations and orders to non-existent ACORN divisions?
He lost Teddy’s seat and you can’t get any more democrat than that.
Will we ever be rid of these damned Clintons?
>> Here’s the only plausible scenario..next summer..when his numbers show an impending defeat..senior congressional dems will ask him to step aside, and Hillary will be nominated by acclimation at the convention... “ <<<<
Definite bingo, there! Hillary has no intention nor interest in doing the glass thing she did last time to in the end find herself betrayed by the super delegates in congress, with whom she served and thought were friends and supporters. Betrayal, outright. She will never run again.
Ah, but a nomination by acclimation AT THE CONVENTION is a scenario as you aptly said is the perfect fit for HRC and the only way she will ever consent. Heck, she enjoys being able to say, NO to all those who let her down and now will soon find that is they who are kicked to the curb and out of jobs. Revenge is best served COLD.
Next summer will probably be too late. In Winter or early spring perhaps.
I don’t see her running against him but I do see her running with him. Good bye Joe.
If Obama turns into a “quitter” how does the “Love-Me Media” handle a “Palin 2012” campaign????
I find it hard to believe that Obama's ego would allow him to step aside for another.
