President Obama Can and Will Win 2012 Presidential Election

 
 

President Obama can win the 2012 Presidential election if African and Hispanic Americans unite and form a voting bloc that is committed to his re-election.


Although I don’t share the network’s political viewpoints, I watch the Fox News channel. I tune in to be knowledgeable of the conservative political agenda. One of the shows that I watched was “The Glenn Beck Show.” According to Beck, African-Americans were denied the right to vote because many Whites feared that our votes would change the political landscape of this nation.

On November 4, 2008, Beck’s theory about the power of the African-American vote became a reality. A coalition of voters of all races, including African and Hispanic Americans changed the political landscape of America. History was made when the United States of America elected Barack Obama as its first African-American president.

In a December 23, 2008, article TheDefendersOnline, stated in part: “that Obama owes his victory both to a substantial increase in the number of minority voters, and their overwhelming support of his candidacy. A look at the racial breakdown of Obama’s winning coalition yields some interesting food for thought:

• Black voters constituted 13 percent of voters, an increase from 11% in 2004
• Hispanics made up 9 percent of the electorate, up from 8 percent in 2004
• 95 percent of blacks and 67 percent of Hispanics voted for Obama
• 3 million more blacks cast ballots than in 2004”

The 2012 presidential election will present this nation’s voters with a choice of electing a Republican president and Republicans congressional members. By voting for Republicans Americans will also be choosing the Republicans’ political vision that appears to favor corporate America and the very wealthy.

The 2012 presidential election will give Americans the opportunity to re-elect President Obama and his agenda that includes providing quality education opportunities, signing a comprehensive immigration reform bill, passing The Dream Act, providing equality, and justice for all of America’s citizens. His historic appointments of a Hispanic-American, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and Associate Justice Elena Kagan to the United States Supreme Court; delivering on his promise to repel the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy; and providing affordable health care for millions of Americans who did not have health care insurance are examples of him make this a more just and perfect nation.

President Obama will win again if African and Hispanic Americans show support of his candidacy by registering to vote, getting state identification cards made if they don’t have a driver’s license (many states require state issued IDs), volunteering to work at their local polling place, signing up on the Organizing for America website, making phone calls, donating money in any amount to the Democratic Party, blogging, posting positive responses to election coverage online, attending campaign events sponsored by the Democratic Party, going to the polls in record numbers, and voting as a bloc for him and democratic congressional candidates on November 6, 2012. The political landscape will be changed again when President Obama is reelected and the Democrats regain a democratic majority in the House of Representatives and gain a larger majority in the Senate.

Newt Gingrich is the new Dick Cheney

Candidate Obama told us that change would not come easy to America. Many of President Obama supporters are weary and disappointed as the Republicans resisted the president and the change that his agenda and vision would produce. The hatred and racial overtones that were evident during the health care debate was unprecedented. The hatred and race baiting has continued during the elections.

As a Republican Party member Newt Gingrich isn’t running for elected office. Therefore it is possible for him to levy the outrages charges against President Obama that were previously done by Cheney.


Part of the party of No strategy during this election cycle is to float outrages statements by Palin, the Cheneys, Beck, Limbaugh, and Gingrich to dominate the news cycle and to demoralize Pres Obama’s base. The lies and half truths of the Republican Party must not go unchallenged. Our party needs people who can articulate Pres Obama’s positions with facts and conviction to counter the attacks from the Right.

The video in this report is a prime example that Pres Obama and the Democratic Party needs the professional left media. We must respond timely because this election is too important for average Americans and Pres Obama’s supporters. Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Ed and Rachel thank you for all you do for this country, minorities, and America.

African-American voters t is up to us WE MUST GO OUT AND VOTE ON NOVEMBER 2, 2010.

Lesson Learned from Hurricane Katrina - A DUMB President is not an Option for America

On a daily basis it seems like natural and man made disasters are occurring in America and around the world. I blelieve that on this fifth year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina we should look back, reflect, and learn from the way that disaster was mishandled by the Republican Party and George Bush.

Hurricane Katrina, this post and attached videos are direct evidence to support the fact that after eight years of GW Bush, this country can’t afford to have another incompetent, arrogant, and ignorant president ever again. Sorry Sarah a Palin/Beck or Beck/Palin presidency is a nightmare that this country MUST never experience.

RECLAIMING DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING’S DREAM (My false 2010 Prediction of Record Minority Voters)

Glenn Beck has scheduled a rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC for August 28, 2010. A counter rally and march titled "Reclaiming the Dream" will be held by Al Sharpton and other Civil Rights Leaders on the same day at a high school in Washington DC.

I believe that  it is not necessary to have a Reclaiming the Dream rally this year. My belief is based on the fact that some people including Glenn Beck are dangerously flirting with “taking our country back” to an era of pain, violence, hatred, and death for political gain. I am afraid that having these two totally political and racially different groups in the same place is a disaster waiting to happen.

A large part of Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream was realized when the voters in 2008 elected Barack Obama who was the most qualified candidate as its president in 2008. The urgency is now we can’t afford to give racist Americans, the Republican Party, and/or the Glenn Becks in this country the opportunity to start or incite a riot, racial confrontation, and/or race war in America.


We can continue to reclaim Dr. King’s dream by striving to become a more perfect nation that respect the rights and aspirations of all of it citizens. We will show our power at the ballot box on November 2, 2010, as we go out in record numbers for the midterm elections.

Reject Glenn Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, and the Republican Party Use of Racial Divisive Election Tactics

Just like they did with Rev Wright Fox News appears to have started their racial tense programming for the 2010 election cycle. On July 7, 2010, Glenn Beck presented a personal and political attack based on race against the United State Justice Department during his show. On the same night Hannity continue the same theme on his one hour show.

It looks like Rush Limbaugh got the memo that included this racial political play book too. In an article published online on July 8, 2010, Limbaugh is quoted as saying “If Obama weren’t black, he’d be a tour guide in Honolulu or he’d be teaching Saul Alinsky constitutional law.”

AS a nation we must stand up and Reject Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and the Republican Party Use of Race Divisive Election Tactics. The American voters rejected the Republicans in 2006 and 2008. As registered voters were must again REJECT the Republicans candidates during the 2010 midterm elections.
