Why oppose President Obama’s re-election? These reasons suffice for me:
- President Obama has failed to govern competently as president.
- I don't want to saddle my kids with the diminished America that President Obama is advancing and will continue to advance, perhaps irreversibly, if he's given another term.
- President Obama has furthered the grotesque division among Americans that he was elected to unite.
- President Obama's worldview is government-centered, prioritizes government control, and ignores and undermines the dignity of individuals.
You may question or disagree with me. Or you might wonder how you can explain it to others or simply learn more. In any case, please review the contents of this blog (http://orbitingtheson.blogspot.com). This blog includes many video clips of the President’s own statements, along with video clips commenting on his policies. It addresses many reasons to oppose President Obama’s re-election. In particular, this blog includes posts on the following subjects:
Your time is precious, so I've tried to use the most concise video clips available. I want you to see the facts and hear the statements for yourself.
Our nation faces stark economic, social, and cultural realities, and Americans know it. If you’re like most Americans, you don’t think the U.S. has the top economy in the world anymore, and you don’t think your personal finances are improving. Worse, you don’t expect the U.S. economy to better off in five years than it is today, and you don’t expect your children to be better off economically than you are. You think that poverty is severe in the United States, and you think the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction. On the international front, you think that China – which is widely viewed as a threat to our allies and an unfair competitor to us – is the world's leading economic power. Further, you don’t think U.S. relations with the Islamic world are better now than they were four years ago. And you don’t approve of the job President Obama’s doing. [All statements based on results of recent polling done by Gallup or Rasmussen.]
Still, many millions of Americans support the President, and they will vote. So, if you agree with me in opposing the President’s re-election, then you must stand up and must encourage others to do likewise.
This election is an opportunity to show compassion. Compassion for the poor and unemployed in the United States. Compassion for those trying to live a life of peace and stability in the Middle East. Compassion for the unborn. Compassion for those sacrificing and struggling to start a business.
This election, like any, will hinge on TURNOUT. Polls don't matter, and opinions don't matter. Prayers matter. And votes matter. So pray! And vote! And tell those in your sphere of influence via Facebook. Or blog. Or Twitter. Or email. Or door knocking. Or phone banking. Or yard sign. Or bumper sticker. Or all of the above.

This is an election for choosing sides. Not rich versus poor. Not black versus brown versus white. Not old versus young. Not men versus women. But liberty versus soft tyranny. A restored vision of America versus a fundamentally transformed vision. President Obama is shepherding us toward the latter (as he said he would). By contrast, Mitt Romney’s election can be an early step in restoring our nation’s heart and strength. It certainly must not be the last step, but we must begin now.
This is an election that goes beyond the presidency. Over 450 members of Congress are up for election, as are hundreds of state and local officials. Every office matters, both because of the decisions these elected officials will make and because of the judges and others they will appoint.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
