Have Begun.
I have been saying that the upcoming US Election is one of the most important in the history of the United States and indeed in the history of the West and permit me to briefly recap why:
- America’s Debt now exceeds its entire annual GDP – $16 Trillion and counting;
- It’s true Unemployment Rate is above 40% (that is to say, the percentage of those of working age who do not have a job);
- 50 Million – 1 in 6, are on food stamps;
- 100 Million – 1 in 3, are on government assistance;
- The Fed is printing money like its confetti;
- Europe is floundering, riots are occurring daily and the EU may well disintegrate;
- The Middle East in on fire and is ready to explode;
- Iran has the Bomb and is now perfecting its delivery capability;
- Israel is its nearby target whom the Islamists have declared to drive out into the sea;
- China has begun to flex its military might against Japan.
So unless things turn around dramatically, the United States will collapse in on its own weight at a time when the world is in great need of its leadership.
Obama has contributed mightily to this sad state of affairs. His domestic policies have not staunched the red ink – they have greatly added to the flow. His foreign policies have not brought about greater stability – just opposite. And yet…
With an Election but a month away – he should be down in the single digits of support. He is not –most polls (all?) up to last night’s debate, show him holding a lead over his Republican Rival.
(Even here in Ontario, at least the electorate has finally awoken and now places McGuinty and Company in the low 20s in support – but not so the electorate south of the border).
And there is a lot more at stake there, than here.
So back to last evening. Romney out shone Obama 2:1. Thank Heavens.
And this being the first of three debates, I believe it to have been the most important one. Within a few days I predict the polls will reflect better for the Republicans. Not dramatically, because America is split right down the centre as Romney so aptly put it: ‘47%, the takers, are going to support Obama regardless of his disastrous policies’. But my friends, the needle is about to move in Romney’s favour.
I have said from the very beginning that Romney will win on November 6th and I am standing by that. Not just because I am conservative in my philosophy but because we collectively are not strong enough to endure another 4 years of a President who does not have a sweet clue as to the damage he is doing to us all.
As I see it…
