And The Beat (ing) Goes On Part 9

GeeeZ asked the question over on her blog if Obama could win in 2012.  A lot of folks think he will . Dr. Walter Williams thinks so as well. This is what he has to say on the subject and frankly he lays out a good argument for why Obama will win a second term. Yes, the country is finished if he does but nevertheless the possibilities are very strong.

From Walter Williams:

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 Obam’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 is not
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.  Does not matter what he
does.  It’s a race thing.  He’s one of
us,  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.   --  Dr. Walter Williams
