Reason 4 - Obama Hates Capitalism.  End of Story

     Oh, I realize that some may find the aforementioned statement too strong and perhaps overly dramatic.  The sad thing is though, IT'S TRUE!  The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, hates capitalism.  There are no "ifs" "ands" or "buts" about it.  Barack Obama hates capitalism.  End of story.

     Earlier today I contacted David Axelrod, Obama's Campaign Manager, asking for clarification as to whether Obama merely hates capitalism or whether he just doesn't understand it or both. I highly doubt that Axelrod will respond as he is far too cowardly to engage in a debate about any real or substantive issue in the 2012 election.  Axelrod is only capable of talking about topics such as Romney's dog and alleged bullying incidents from fifty years ago.  

Regardless, I quickly came to the conclusion that, sadly enough, Obama is too smart of man not to understand anything about capitalism.  Now, he obviously doesn't understand it in the way that Governor Romney does.  Governor Romney is the very definition of capitalism and and is one of the foremost experts on not only capitalism's effects but what drives capitalism, how it truly works and how to effectively use it to create engines of economic growth and job creation.  

     No, Obama only understand's capitalism in the most basic of ways (i.e. its basic effects).  

Reason 3 - Obama Loves Gay Marriage but he doesn't have the Balls to Admit it

     I could easily write an entire blog on the 1001 reasons why gay marriage is wrong.  And while I think I'll save that task for another day, here is a great link http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-f018.html providing well thought out evidence on why God did not intend same sex couples to be together.  

     In a nutshell, sometimes in life the answers to questions are actually far more simple than they appear.  Gay marriage and homosexuality are perfect examples.  The evidence is at the very beginning of the bible!  As the Christian Answers link states "When God created a partner for Adam, He created Eve - not another Adam."  In addition, "If God had intended the human race to be fulfilled through both heterosexual and homosexual marriage, He would have designed our bodies to allow reproduction through both means and made both means of sexual intercourse healthy and natural."  Do proponents of gay marriage and homosexuality think that God just screwed up or forgot?  As if He would have really said, "Darn it!  I forgot to give Adam a choice.  Perhaps he would have preferred another guy instead of a girl."  That's, of course, absurd.  God doesn't make mistakes.  He knew exactly what he was doing.  He wanted men to be with women.  End of story.

     Once again, we'll save this debate for another day.  My extraordinary annoyance with President Obama is not his stance on gay marriage, but his cowardly and political refusal to even admit what his stance is because he is terrified of the political consequences.  How long does it take for a position to "evolve"?  Obama's position  on gay marriage has allegedly been "evolving" for years now.  Who does he thing he's fooling?  His entire administration seems to be "coming out" (again, pardon the pun) in recent days with enthusiastic support of gay marriage.  Why not their leader, President Obama?  It's because he thinks that he can have his cake and eat it too.  

     Vice President Biden got the ball rolling this past weekend when on Meet the Press he went off on how great he thinks gay marriage is.  It's likely that he did not have a green light from the administration to say the things he did but when one has "diarrhea of the mouth" disease, who is going to blame him?  Biden's remarks obviously put Obama in an awkward position but this at least gives his administration the appearance of being "pro-gay" even if Obama himself remains quiet on the issue allowing his position to continue to evolve.  

    Do you want to know when Obama's position on gay marriage will stop evolving?  I'll tell you.  It will stop evolving at the end of January, 2013 on the day of the next presidential inauguration (the exact date of the inauguration has not yet been announced as January 20 falls on a Sunday and the Martin Luther King holiday is the following day).  If Obama is reelected he will be jumping up and down on the Capitol steps waving a rainbow flag and promising to serve as the officiant himself for a massive national gay marriage holiday that he just proclaimed.  He will no longer need to worry about the political repercussions and the true Obama can then be revealed.  

     Similarly, if Obama is defeated, he will not longer have any reason to cower under the bed.  He'll be free to jump up and down on his bed back in Chicago proudly saying that his position on gay marriage has finally evolved fully and he is now the new champion of the gay rights movement.  

     Again, no one on the earth, perhaps other than the pope and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, disagrees with gay marriage more than I do.  But that isn't my point today.  What truly sickens me most is Obama's refusal to admit that he is in support of gay marriage.  He is afraid of losing votes in swing states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania.  All of America should be furious at Obama for this, including the national gay rights organizations that have been begging Obama to jump on their bandwagon since the day he took office.

     Whether you believe that gay marriage is wrong or you believe that it is right is irrelevant for the purposes of today's blog.  The fact remains for all Americans that our country deserves far better than a self-serving, politically motivated coward as its leader.  President Barack Obama must be defeated in his quest for re-election.

Reason 2 - Obama and Bin Laden (Taking Credit When Credit Isn't Due)

   Mr. President, I have news for you.  You did not kill Osama Bin Laden, the heroic men of U.S. Navy Seal Team 6 did.  Why do you therefore insist on bragging about his death as though you are solely responsible for bringing one of the world's most evil human beings to justice?

Your words and actions in the recent days surrounding the one year anniversary of Bin Laden's death has left me with the taste of vile phlegm stemming from my throat.  You truly remind me of an adolescent child on a playground who is running around chanting "Ha, Ha, I killed Osama Bin Laden, You Didn't, Ha Ha!"  And for you to even suggest that Governor Mitt Romney (or any other person for that matter) would not have given the kill order too is nothing less than complete lunacy and total delusion.  Of course, Governor Romney would have given the kill order.  For you to suggest otherwise makes you look like a politically driven fool.

Further, you must realize (which I truly think you don't) that all you did was give the kill order while sitting safely in the White House thousands of miles away.  The U.S. intelligence community and U.S. military personnel have worked mightily day and night since September 11, 2001 to bring this result about, not you, Mr. President.

Yes, you got a shocking call on the telephone one day informing you that Bin Laden had likely been found.  Contrary to what your massive ego tells you, there isn't a loyal American alive who would not have given the order to go for the kill.

Shame on you, Mr. President, for politicizing this issue for personal political gain.  You may think that crowing about killing Bin laden will distract the American people from the U.S. economic train wreck that truly is yours, but unfortunately for you, it will not.

I respectfully ask that you view this amazing video, Mr. President.

It was put together by a great American veterans organization and gives their point of you on you "spiking the ball" over Bin Laden's death.  Perhaps you will think twice next time before taking credit where credit isn't due.

Sincerely,

Reason 1 - The Federal Debt

   My name is Mark N. Ludwig and I live in Seattle, Washington, the heart of the great Pacific Northwest.  I'm a husband, father, Catholic Christian, Republican, government affairs and public relations expert and aficionado of politics, history, Ernest Hemingway, C.S. Lewis and the New York Yankees.  

   Today is Wednesday, April 18, 2012 and, according to my count, there are exactly 203 days left until the 2012 presidential election between Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama.  I'm greatly concerned about my daughter's future and the future of this country. I believe with all of my heart, mind and soul that President Obama has been and continues to take us down a path of economic and moral destruction.  I also believe, just as strongly, that Governor Mitt Romney has exactly what it takes to correct the ills of the past several years and put our country back on the track to greatness once again.   

   Please let me be perfectly clear, ladies and gentlemen.  I do not hate or even dislike President Obama in any way, shape or form.  I'm certain that he is a well intended person, a fine American and a good father and husband.  He is the president of my country and I will always give him and the office of the president the respect that they deserve. Sadly though there are 1,001 different reasons flying through my head as to why President Obama should not be re-elected.

   There are easily 1,001 reasons why Governor Romney should be chosen over President Obama in November and I will attempt to lay out those 1,001 reasons here in a clear and cogent manner.  


   Some of these blog pieces will be much longer than others and some days will show many entries while other days may show none.  Regardless, all 1,001 reasons will be written by election day  highlighting why President Barack Obama should not be re-elected and why Mitt Romney can and must become the next leader of our country.  I personally believe that any one of the reasons are easily enough on their own to not vote for Obama in November.  That, however, is up for you, the reader, to decide.  

   The 1,001 reasons will not be listed in any order of importance or priority other than today's reason, Obama and the Federal Debt, which I feel is the most vitally important challenge that America is facing today.  It's also the public policy issue on which Obama has failed the most miserably.  

   On February 23, 2009, Obama vowed to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term.  Here are his exact words:  "Today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office.  This will not be easy.  It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we've long neglected.  But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay - and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control."


      Here is the video feed of his lie:  Obama Lying to the American People


   Obama has instead increased the federal debt by over $5 trillion since taking office..  I refer you to this wonderful article from the Catholic Online web site:  http://www.catholic.org/politics/story.php?id=45344


Greece continues to hang by a thread as it continues to teeter on the verge of a complete economic meltdown.  Greece's problems are almost solely attributable to its out of control spending and gargantuan deficits.  America will not be far behind if we don't get our spending under control.  Obama has increased the federal debt more in his first three years in office than President George W. Bush did in all eight years of his.  This out of control spending must come to an end and it must come to an end now!


   Obama has always loved to talk a pretty talk and his words and promises have always sounded delightful.  Sadly for him, though, his days of standing only on his words and dramatic speeches are now over.  His record while in office speaks for itself and that record is beyond horrific when it comes to out of control spending.  


   The complete economic destruction of the United States is not far at hand unless Obama is voted out of office.  We not only owe it to our children and our future generations, but we owe it to ourselves.  There is no greater threat to the security and prosperity of the United States than the skyrocketing federal debt brought about by President Barack Obama.  Governor Mitt Romney will bring spending back under control with his fiscal conservatism, his extraordinary business experience and his willingness to make the toughest of decisions for the good of our country.  


   Obama's record on the federal debt is easily reason enough alone to vote him out of office.  Stay tuned though and I'll nevertheless give you another two hundred reasons to end his reign.
