Obama is Beatable
I may be one of the few people in America convinced the Republicans
will beat Barack Obama, but I really think that is the case. It
is not easy to say that just because the unemployment rate is over some
number that the President will be beaten.
But when the unemployment rate is so high and inflation is on the rise
and the take home pay of Americans brings home less and less, yes, I
think the President is beatable.
More so, the President has no real solutions to fix the economy.
Reporters keep asking Republicans what they will do to create
jobs. The answer should be obvious. “Nothing!” In
fact, I think Americans are finally starting to embrace that
answer. The truth is, as we are seeing, there is nothing the
President can do to create jobs except get government out of the way.
The Democrats’ solution is to spend more, tax more, and punish the
successful. Republicans must be willing to do less. An Ohio
State University economic study shows that Barack Obama’s stimulus plan
saved or created many government jobs and killed many private sector
jobs. This is the Republican message -- government can do nothing
to create jobs and much to kill jobs.
Obama is beatable because at the end of the day it is still about the
economy.
