If you have any doubts that Obama will be sent packing from the White House in November, then cast your eyes at this list of reasons Barack Obama will be a one-term president.
1. Jobs, jobs, jobs
While the official unemployment rate has inched down to close to 8 percent,
that number would be much higher if all the discouraged job hunters who stopped
looking for work were included. Obama?s record as a job creator is dismal,
because the basic tenets of his economic ideology are woefully misguided.
Government doesn?t create jobs, it just gets in the way of companies that
can.
2. Health care showdown
With the Supreme Court readying its decision on the president?s signature
initiative, the Affordable Care Act will be front and center right as the
campaign is heating up. No matter how the court rules, the nation will be
reminded of the highly unpopular health care overhaul that was enacted with
legislative bribes, using arcane congressional rules, and without a shred of
bipartisanship.
3. Immigration showdown
The high court will also be issuing its decision on Arizona?s immigration
law, SB 1070, which allows local police to check a person?s immigration status.
With polls showing a strong majority of Americans favoring the legislation,
Obama?s suit against the state is highly unpopular.
4. Dismal economy
The economy is not doing well, given the nation is in the midst of the
weakest recovery on record and even that is petering out. With so-called
Taxmageddon looming after the election when a host of tax hikes are
automatically scheduled to take effect, an Obama victory would ensure a
continued weak economy because he will gladly allow them to be enacted.
5. Big government run amok
From Obama?s fictional ?Julia,? who can?t get through life without a raft
of government programs, to his failed stimulus package, this president is all
about crafting a big government solution to every problem. The American people
are onto the community organizer spreading the wealth around. They would rather
have economic freedom than a government handout.
6. Base depressed
The ?hope and change? enthusiasm from 2008 is long gone as voter
registration is lagging among the young and minorities. Without a fired-up base,
Obama will be hard-pressed to match the turnout he enjoyed four years ago.
Millions of voters expected this president to deliver more than high
unemployment, a weak economy, and lackluster job creation.
7. GOP on fire
Despite a hard-fought primary, conservatives are beginning to coalesce
behind Romney, knowing that the real issue is the defeat of Obama?s big
government agenda. Because turnout is always the key in an election, the fact
that conservatives will be fired up to remove Obama from office will make the
difference.
8. Misguided energy policy
Obama canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, has kept vast amounts of U.S.
energy resources off-limits for development, and, through the Environmental
Protection Agency, is regulating the coal industry into oblivion. His energy
policy is misguided by a devotion to the global warming alarmism cult. No wonder
gas prices have soared since he took office.
9. Foreign policy misadventures
Obama is making a mess with his haphazard foreign policy, angering allies
like Israel, resetting relations with Russia in the wrong direction, while doing
nothing about Iran?s and North Korea?s nuclear ambitions. Obama has apologized
for the country?s actions and handed over decision-making to international
bodies. Where America was once respected around the world, it is increasingly
being seen as a paper tiger.
10. Scandal-plagued administration
From the Fast and Furious gun-running debacle to the General Services
Administration?s lavish Las Vegas conferences, from Secret Services officials?
romp with Colombian prostitutes to the politically driven decision to dump
taxpayer?s money on green energy companies like the now-bankrupt Solyndra, this
administration is increasingly taking on the look of a scandal-plagued
enterprise.
