Is He Right?
« on: June 01, 2011, 05:16:21 PM »
 Let me preface this by saying it was received in an email. I have no idea of the accuracy of this. I did find it interesting anyway               DR. WILLIAMS predicts that Obama can not  lose the 2012 election
 
 Dr. Williams  prediction:  Maybe you have read some newspaper articles  written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be  Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently  teaching at George Mason University.
 
 
   
   
 
 No Matter  What

 By Dr. 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  pricesmoving 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 Obama'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 isn't 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.  Doesn't 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 coat tails 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


             
Obituary-Very  Interesting!

   
     
 
 It  doesn't hurt to read this several times.
 
Professor  Joseph Olson of Hamline  University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota , points out  some interesting facts concerning the last  Presidential  election:
 

    * Number of  States won by: Obama:19 McCain:  29 
    *

    * Square miles  of land won by: Obama:580,000 McCain:  2,427,000 
    *

    * Population  of counties won by: Obama:127million McCain: 143  million 
    *

    * Murder rate  per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2  McCain: 2.1

Professor  Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won  was mostly the land owned  by the taxpaying citizens of the  country.

Obama  territory mostly encompassed  those citizens living in low  income tenements and  living off various forms of government  welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is  now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of  Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty  percent of the nation's population already having reached the  "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress  grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal  invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say  goodbye to the USA in fewer  than five years.

Of course he's right. For the reasons listed. I as much as anybody would like to see chairman "0" fail, realisticly, I would be very surprised if he's beaten in '12. Just sayin'.

I enjoy reading Walter Williams articles, and I agree with most everything he writes about on different issues. There is one part of the article I don't agree with completely. He says "Blacks will vote for Obama blindly", which is true. Then he goes on to say "Its a race thing. He is one of us" I believe part of that to be true, because many blacks did get out to vote because, of a chance to elect a black president.
How many votes do we think the blacks would have given Obama, if Obama was a conservative? Many would not even have voted. How many votes do we think the black population would give a Herman Cain? Its not all about White and Black when it comes to the black vote. For instance, where was the black vote for Allen Keyes when he ran? Many of the blacks didn't want anything to do with him.

This sounds like propaganda to me. I expect to see stuff like this reach fever pitch as the elections draw near. I believe they will say anything to scare conservative voters into staying home because its a waste of time to vote against Obama. He is very beatable.

Lets quit with the doom and gloom and quit wringing our hands and all get together so we can hand this chump his pink slip in 2012.

I don't recall the last election as being anything other than a blowout with unheard of numbers of white people partying in the streets.

Yes wreck white people voted for Obama too. About 43% of white voters voted for him. What a shame huh?
Compare that to 96% of black voters voted for him. A bit of a stark difference don't ya think?

99.9% of the time Walter Williams is correct. He will miss this one however. The economy is about to  go into the second leg down. Because of the coming election year, QEIII will be enacted and by November, 2012,  we will be in a currency crisis. Stagflation worse than Jimmy Carter days, price controls, shortages, long lines and Obamu will finally be blamed. Don't use your money for toilet paper though, it will stop up the commode.
The sole purpose of government is to protect your liberty. The Constitution is not to restrict the people, but to restrict government.  Ron Paul

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. - Thomas Jefferson

Walter Williams is a smart guy, I like to listen to him put economics in understandable terms them he substitutes for Rush Limbaugh. I hope he is wrong.

If Dr. Williams is right--then all that is left is to lock and load and take our country back by force.  Somehow the vision of shooting fish in a rain barrel comes to mind.

I agree with all the points Dr. Williams makes.
 
If winning the Presidency is a lost cause then only taking the Senate away from the Dems and holding on to a majority in the House is going to keep the country afloat.

He may just be right. The RNC is determined to run a RINO for president, like Romney. If so many like myself will just stay home on election day. I see little to no difference in the two!

While Beerbelly and I differ a lot, I have to agree with his assessment on Romney.
He supports the assault weapons ban,Gays serving openly in military,Gay leaders in the Boy Scouts, and other left leaning ideas. Someone needs to check their glasses ::)Check him out at this web site.

There are much better choices. You don't need to stay home on election day. Ron Paul comes to mind ;)

So, who are you going to shoot?  Blacks?, Democrats?, just the men, or the women and kids too?....Just wondering....

I agree that Romney is way too squishy for my taste, but to say that he is the same as the obamanation is sophistry.  Ron Paul has some rough edges too, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to be the nominee.

It is going to be the primary voters who select the real opposition to the commies--not the Republican Party, nor the Tea Party.  What I hate is that Iowa and New Hampshire have entirely too much to say about who emerges as the so-called favorites.  Why not Texas and Utah?

I disagree, the RNC controls a lot of money and they will give it to RINO'S like Romney! They are no different than the democrats!  Why do you think they call them self’s main stream . It is to say that regular folk are not. That we are extreme!
