The Rundown

Ok here's the rundown. Let's look at the percentage of those who believe that John McCain has the right experience.I t was somewhere around 77%. For Barack Obama it was somewhere around 49%. Let's look at the percentage of new voters who voted for Obama. The number is somewhere in the 70s. In Indiana we saw an outpouring of new voters in areas dominated by minorities (i.e. Indianapolis, Gary, Hammond). In Ohio it's the same (Cleveland, Toledo). These were the areas targeted by ACORN if you can remember, and investigations are still going on. Now let's look at the percentage of black voters who went for Obama. 94%. No other demographic has ever voted so lobsidedly. There was a woman at the Obama rally in Chicago last night on TV saying stuff like "we've come so far" or "this is what Martin Luther King would have wanted." What? Does that say to you that this election was based on RACE or the issues?

What percentage of the new voters could actually explain the stance of Barack Obama on any issue. They only know "Oh, he's going to change things in Washington." "He's different so things will be better." "I'm mad at republicans because I think that George Bush is the anti-Christ." "I'm mad at republicans because of the war" (which was not the #1 issue by the way). "I'm mad at republicans because of an economic crisis that was caused by actions ten years ago." The majority of people really don't know anything about either candidate and most likely went with whoever looked better, or whoever they thought had the best commercials. Any race or gender should be able to breach the White House, but it should be for the right reasons. Now that all three branches are firmly controlled by the Democrats we'll see how fast they can get things done and we won't be able to stop them. Higher taxes for our businesses are coming by February and how can that help the economy at this point. Higher taxes = higer prices for goods + more outsourcing. Unfortunately for the black voters it was more of an affirmative action election than it was an American election.

I do think that in two years that there is no way there can be a Dem majority. The approval rating for Congress is even lower than the republican president that apparently everyone hates. I believe that the Dems have been in control of both houses for two years now. Who keeps the President in check? Who writes, revises, and enstates most of our legislation? Many people are mad at the Bush bailout. Who voted to pass the bailout?

726 days until the midterm election.
