Congratulations President Obama:   on Your 2012 Re-election

By Stephen R. Ganns

15 December 2011 

Sun Tzu said: "Therefore it is said: One knows the enemy and knows oneself: means that in one hundred battles one will never be in imminent peril of loss or destruction."

I'm a conservative; I favor Adam Smith and Milton Friedman over John Maynard Keynes.

Reviewing the last 3 years, the current administration has been wholly deficient in the areas of economics and foreign policy (and by the way they would agree with me on this).  Mr. Obama was not ready: too young, too inexperienced, too impractical..  Regardless, he will win re-election handily.  In fact, the election is already over. 

  1. Romney—missing the aura of personal strength and stability, the presence X-factor;
  2. Newt—arguably brilliant, but unpopular due to a certain perceived cattiness;
  3. Bachman—great congresswoman, not executive enough;
  4. Paul—too far out of mainstream reality;
  5. Santorum—smart candidate, not popular;
  6. Huntsman—the most qualified in either Party—with his experience, intellect, education,  should be the consummate rival for Obama—even the analysis by Obama’s campaign came to this conclusion and brilliantly handed him the Chinese Ambassadorship in an attempt to co-opt and nullify him—perfect  Art of War execution.

The President is running even now, not bad considering he hasn’t even really started—the $1B hasn’t been released on the public.  The best political machine in recent history is about to get started.  The Republican National Committee is generally better at Congressional contests (and then firing its chairman)—but in Presidential politics—Obama’s team knows no equal.

So we (conservatives) are resigned to another 4 years—I hope the Country can endure it.
