Crowds signify Romney Victory as Obama Pleads for Revenge

President Obama ended the campaign season with a whirlwind blitz of campaign appearances. He visited Wisconsin, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Iowa. In all, he alone attended 16 campaign events.

In the same week Michelle Obama spoke at 6 events, traveling to Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. Vice President Biden chipped in as well by attending 5 events as well.

Obama Campaign Event Crowd

In all, the trio chalked up 27 documented campaign events which spanned 5 days.

The President also found time to receive 1 daily briefing, tour the ravaged New Jersey coast, and speak at FEMA Headquarters.

Now that today's voting will determine who the next president will be, we expect Mr. Obama to relax, entertain, travel, vacation, and celebrate.

Regardless if he wins re-election or not, we do not anticipate President Obama working for the country. If he wins, he will just party! If he loses, he will entertain and enjoy the last two months of his presidency. Either way, he will ignore his official duty to lead the country.

So, will Obama win? We predict he will Lose Big Time! 

Our reasoning is based on the turnout at his recent campaign events. Mr. Obama tried to lure crowds to his campaign events by entertaining them with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Stevie Wonder. However, compared to the large number of people who attended Romney and Ryan campaign speeches, Obama's turnout was much smaller.

This signals a problem for Mr. Obama because "he should be the star", not a backup performer.  If he had the respect of the nation, our citizens would flock to see him speak regardless of their political affiliation. However, even his base of support failed to go out of their way to see "Our President Speak".

Romney Campaign Crowd

Whereas, Mitt Romney drew 30,000 people in Pennsylvania hoping to get a glimpse of a man who can fix our economy, restore respect for America, and is willing work with both Democratic and Republican Congressmen and Senators.

For this reason, we predict a Romney Victory in today's election!

Responding to the Hurricane Sandy emergency, President Obama flew back to the White House and participated in phone calls with governors and meetings coordinating Federal emergency teams.

One week before the election, Obama is using this disaster as a photo opportunity to show his involvement. Unfortunately, he had no such meetings, participation, or press conferences when the 4 brave Americans were killed in Benghazi. 

Prior to taking advantage of this disaster, Mr. Obama was flying across the country, giving a speech here, voting there, taping interviews, etc.  He did attend two daily briefings but that was it. Comparatively, he attended 7 campaign events, and taped 4 interviews for TV and Radio appearances.

Four dead Americans are only bumps on the campaign trail

Two weeks after the Benghazi massacre, the only visible change to President Obama's weekly campaign schedule is the inclusion of 4 daily briefings.  Yet, in the past 7 days, the Obama campaign team attended 14 different campaign/fundraising events. However, the President was obligated to meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once in order to make sure that they continue to apologize to the Muslim world and pretend that a the murders of our citizens were carried out in response to an offensive video.

Obama's and Clinton's behavior are indicative to children trying to appease a schoolyard bully.

Besides apologizing and campaigning, Mr. Obama relaxed in the friendly environment of The View. He did speak at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, but could not find the time to meet with other dignitaries.

The economy is still in shambles and unemployment continues to soar. Yet the President has ignored these issues.

Mr. Obama described the deaths of our Ambassador and security personnel as merely bumps on the road. And, he brushed off the concerns of Israel as only noise, an unwanted distraction.

One must ask: Why would any right minded American re-elect this politician who has boldly ignored his sworn obligation to serve and protect this country but has favored the revolting terrorists in the North African and Arab regions instead?

Below is a summary of President Obama's schedule during the week of Wednesday September 19 through Tuesday September 25 2012.

One DNC Convention and Two Hugs, How Cozy!

After sitting in on 1 obligatory daily briefing, President Obama was free to spend the week campaigning. First, however, he had to practice the acceptance speech that he would give at the Democratic National Convention.  Once that speech was given, the Obama's and Biden's took to the skies on our Air Force planes and hit the swing Sates.  Together, they left Charlotte NC and the four flew to New Hampshire. After attending a campaign event there, they boarded the plane again and flew to Iowa where they made another grand campaign appearance at the University of Iowa. 

But, one day was enough. So at the end of Friday, Mr. Obama flew to Florida and spent 2 days attending 4 campaign events in that State. Nothing has been written about Michelle Obama or Jill Biden, so we can only assume that they perhaps flew back to Washington. From different sources, we know that Vice President flew to Columbus Ohio and traveled through that State and mingled with the voters.

Two of the memorial pictures of Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden campaigning over the weekend are shown at right.  From the looks of it, they are really enjoying themselves. After all, who wouldn't want to share hugs with our 2 distinguished leaders?

Chains, Felons, Fundraisers, and Denials

Surprise, President Obama had a press conference yesterday! Yes, after being criticized for only meeting with celebrity news outlets, Mr. Obama finally held another press conference at the White House. Unfortunately, he did not seem to be prepared, especially when he said nobody had called Mitt Romney a "felon". Either he really does not stay up with current events, or he believes the country is so ignorant that we will believe anything he says. Either way, it did not seem to go very well for for the President.


Luckily, the day ended on an up note when he and Michelle hosted a "state dinner" for 54 winners of a children's "healthy eating" campaign contest.

Cartagena Columbia excursion introduces new U.S. morality behavior

The week of Wednesday April 11 through Tuesday April 17 found the Air Force One planes traveling across the Americas. Here we have VP Biden hitting campaign events in Minneapolis MN, Exeter NH, and Scarsdale NY. Mrs. Obama flew to New York City to appear on The Colbert Report and is now fundraising in Nashville TN and Pittsburgh PA. The President stayed local for 4 days, interviewing on television, and attending only 1 fundraiser.

But, he did enjoy a 3 day junket in Cartagena Columbia attending a CEO Summit (hmm, I thought he was a President, not a CEO). As he had mentioned in one of his meetings, the real purpose of this enjoyable trip was to find a new location for a family vacation. But, all kidding aside, this international exposure highlighted the moral collapse in our government team. First, several Secret Service members were found to be arranging prostitute visits, and then Hillary Clinton was pictured drinking and dancing the night away.

Neither of these should be a surprise to the American public, particularly since the President has authorized free distribution of birth control and condoms.

High cost of fuel doesn't stop Obama from jetting to NCAA tournament at taxpayer expense

In this past week, President Obama's public schedule has been very relaxing. He held 4 daily briefings and met with Senior Advisers twice. He made an announcement about China and expressed sympathy for the Afghan civilians.  He toured 2 manufacturing facilities, sat for a series of TV interviews, and told the American public that he couldn't do anything that would affect the high gasoline prices we are forced to pay.

Perhaps the most important duties he performed related to his own personal agenda. Mr. Obama met with representatives of the National League of Cities, a non-profit advocacy group whose purpose is to influence federal policy; and he had lunch with Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York. He only attended two fundraisers but treated winners of his democratic fundraising contest to dinner.

Saving the best for last, he now flying off  to Dayton Ohio to watch a first round NCAA Basketball tournament game.

Michelle Obama appeased the Arab and Muslim communities by attending the 2012 International Women of Courage Awards ceremony before taking to the skies and speaking at a New Hampshire Community College and a Boston Fundraiser. Today, she's hosting her own mini-Olympics.

Thanksgiving with the family

The Obama Thanksgiving week was mostly dedicated to family, friends, and recreation. After hosting the country music festival last Monday, the President made a quick campaign stop in New Hampshire on Tuesday.  The public agenda for remainder of the week was not published.

However, the President did present a brief Thanksgiving morning address to the nation and telephoned soldiers in various parts of the world before digging into a Thanksgiving dinner in the White House.

On Saturday, he treated the family to watch his brother-in-law coach Oregon State to victory over Towson University.

Today, President Obama is helping the European Commission and Council address their economic recovery as well as reiterating his commitment to transatlantic law enforcement. He is also assisting in supporting democracy and prosperity in the Middle East and North Africa since these are two of the highest concerns of the American taxpayer public.

Lazy Americans lead to high unemployment, welfare entitlements, and a bankrupt nation

The U.S. is still the largest recipient of foreign investment in the world, 

Obama said,

"but we've been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades."

(Obama: America has Been Lazy Over the Last Couple of Decades)

It's wonderful to hear that our President has such little faith in our society, even though it is we, the American people, who fund this man's welfare, safety, travel and entertainment extravaganzas.

But, at least, no one can accuse Barack Obama for being lazy. During the past week, he has met with foreign leaders trying to bolster certain parts of the world economy. Meanwhile, his Vice President is focused on fundraising.

Obama as flown across both oceans and is having a grand old time.  Below is a brief summary of our elected officials travels since we last updated our blog on November 1st.
