10 Reasons Obama Will Lose in November

There are more, but lets go with these for now

The writing is on the wall: Barack Obama is going to lose the presidential election in November. Mitt Romney’s efforts between now and then will have a relatively minor impact on the voters unless he makes a grave misstep.

Here are the top ten issues that will cause voters to support the alternative candidate. Every issue presented herein is virtually out of the hands of the president and his supporters.

1) The economy. There is not an issue that is going well for Obama in this area. Unemployment will continue to be extremely high when it is announced on Friday. In addition to official unemployment numbers, the situation is exacerbated by a huge number of unemployed workers who have given up their efforts to find employment.

2) Europe. Absolutely nothing will be settled on the continent before our elections. The instability created by the on again, off again negotiations between Euro zone leaders is depressing America. Corporate executives are concerned, stock market investors are skittish and people around the world are wondering why the U.S. is playing no role in the important changes that are happening in Europe. This speaks to the irrelevance of Obama in the deliberations.

3) The stock markets. Middle class investors are still far off their highpoints of wealth accumulation prior to 2008 as exhibited by lower pension and housing valuations. The continued turmoil in the world will result in no meaningful upsurge in the markets before the elections.

4) Inability to lead. Every important issue facing this country is out of the hands of Obama. His leadership is moot as best presented by his totally ineffectual impact on congressional deliberations.

5) Partisanship. Obama has done very little to make Washington a kinder and gentler place. There are very few times in history that our government has been more partisan. Voters will be reminded of this phenomenon every day on TV and ascribe most of the blame for this on Obama, whether it is true or not.

6) Iran. From my perspective, Obama does not have a clue what he should do to temper the Iranian crisis. To make matters worse, he is getting no support from the two countries that could end Iranian aggression, threats and nuclear development - China and Russia. The latter are aware that the U.S. and Obama are weak and indecisive, and hope to further erode U.S. influence in the region. It is doubtful that Obama can even impact the actions of the Israelis, who may take control of the situation in the near future.

7) The “Fast and Furious” debacle. Some people have said Attorney General Eric Holder has not done anything illegal or conspiratorial. It sure does not seem that way. Congress has already embarrassed the AG and the administration, and the former’s decision to play hardball with Congress looks bad for the Obama administration. If he has not done anything wrong, why not give Congress all the information it has requested?

8) Health care. The majority of Americans are not in favor of the current health care law. Now that Chief Justice Roberts has proclaimed it a new tax on Americans, Republicans will make hay on this issue in campaign advertisements.

9) Young, minority and disenfranchised voter apathy. Obama energized all of these groups in 2008. The magic is gone, or should I say the myth of Obama has been debunked. Many voters feel a sense of helplessness and will not vote; the vast majority of these groups would likely support Obama if they did.

10 The conservatives and the Tea Party smell blood. These groups will be totally engaged in November, as they know that Obama is vulnerable. The power of the right was obvious during the Republican primaries. I predict that Tea Party activity in swing states will have a gigantic impact on the elections.

Great post brother, hard to argue logic. Let's hope our population, at least 51% of it uses some logic this November!

Thanks Dive....The Conservative turnout this year and the Lib apathy are

going to make this a blowout imo...

Also, the polls that are out that have them anywhere close are skewed Democrat.

I saw one today that was overpolling demo's by 53% to Rep's 40%....Just ridiculous.

In the same poll, they have Independents at 7% thats underpolling by about 20%

A brand new Reuters/IPSOS poll goes to a whole new level. Not only did they badly over-sample Democrats and horrifically under-sample Independents, they lied about those numbers. If this were not a polling firm that makes their living (and reputation) from calculating and crunching numbers I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Accuracy is their life-blood. And if they didn’t intentionally miscalculate the numbers they published, then they didn’t lie, they are simply incompetent.

Either way – this is not good.

Let’s start with the bogus percentages of Democrats vs. Republicans vs. Independents. Did they think people wouldn’t check their math?...53% Democrats....40% Republicans.....7% Independents

Groups like PolitiFact pretend to “check facts” while most honest observers know they are spinning for the Democrats. Once you move away from true or false and go into degrees of accuracy, it is no longer fact checking. It involves opinion. And when your lean is decidedly left, there simply is no value in the facts you pretend to check.

The same is true of polls, though it is a lot harder to lie. You must actually manipulate the sample size to get the desired outcome. And most of these polls skew to the left – some badly. And when you look at the numbers behind the poll results they publish, you can easily see this manipulation. Usually these pollsters simply call a lot more Democrats than Republicans to make the Democrats look good.

And an even newer trend I have seen is for the pollsters to actually poll a pretty close number of Republicans and Democrats, but they poll a tiny number of Independents. Now that wouldn’t matter if the Indy’s were splitting 50-50 for Romney and Obama – but they are not! The Independents are going for Romney by double digits! So if you sample fewer Independents, you essentially skew the poll towards Democrats.

You are absolutely right buddy, polls don't mean anything. I stuck my poll thoughts on Umbertino's poll thread LOL!! Couldn't agree more, and wow do they love to spin em!!

[DiveDeepSix]

My thoughts on my other post about the polls:

Polls are a joke. Kinda like 100 out of 100 people polled agree schools shouldn't have classes on Fridays. (Because the only people polled were the students) Hmmm easy to spin that one. Or how about 98 out of 100 people disagree that they should have to pay taxes! (When you poll a slum area) Yep that sure tells me what the country is thinking!

So tell me how can a poll of 100 people, or a 1,000, or 10,000, or even 1 million people possibly shed light on the thoughts of a country with a population of over 314,000,000? Oh, that's right it can't. I have yet to be polled on anything political this year. It's a giant load of BS so the media has something to talk about. So even if they polled 1,000,000 people that would show you what 1 out of every 314 were thinking, still not even close to accurate. I'll take my chances on an RV before Christmas vs listening to what the polls are saying.

Personally I think Mitt is going to stomp a mud hole a mile wide in O and walk it dry, beat down city!!!! :D
