Some have called him Santa Claus, and others have called him Robin Hood, but he is more of a puppet than anything. What he did was appeal to voters on a basic level, goodies for all....well except for the rich. He played the envy game and is now pushing for an envy tax. It is really divisive, but it works, just like it did for the Liberals who divided the east and west of our country for decades.
The Republicans were talking deficit and debt and failed to connect with the voters, because the voters don't want to be told the negative, they wanted to be told how everything is going to be great.
Obama didn't even have a plan, he hasn't even passed a budget in 4 years, but on the most primeval level, people wanted to be acknowledged and held blameless for the situation they and America find themselves in. They wanted hugs, and Obama phones, not talk about "fiscal cliffs".
It proves that if you want to win, you must appeal to the most elemental instincts of people in the form of "emotions", and that is what most lefties do best. They make it all about emotions and feelings.
Protests are an effective method that only the left seems to use, with the exception of the Tea Party in the US, and they get called racists and rednecks by the media and lefties, for just daring to gather and state an opinion that the left doesn't like.
Mitt Romney was the better fiscal candidate, but Americans were looking for the "rock star". They got him, and even now are blaming the Republicans for the "fiscal cliff" they are heading off of, even though they were warned it was going to happen if Obama got reelected. Reminds me of Nero and Rome burning.
The left is all about dividing people into segments and catering to special interest groups, while the right is about family values and long term stability. Obama won big in the urban, highly populated areas, and lost big time in the rural ones. This mirrors what happens in Canada.
What happens to people living in cities? What makes them more liberal and less likely to support family values?
Obama won on emotion (did you see him crying?). Emotion is not going to save America, and as they go, so do we!

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
No, not Obama, but a truly great President, Reagan. What a gift he was to America. Democrats love Kennedy, a womanizing President, guess that's why they still like Clinton, no morals seems to get the Democrats all warm and fuzzy. A man of principle and honesty, like Reagan is despised by Democrats and the media. I guess anything Conservative is a threat to Democrats, because it's hard to impose socialism on a country that stands for individual freedom. Ronald Reagan stood for free enterprise and less government.
He also had a great sense of humour:
If you can't get enough of Reagan, a speech he made in 1980 still applies to today. It is worth listening to:
Then compare it to Sarah Palin's speech during the election:
Funny how articulate Sarah was until the media told you she wasn't. People bought into the media's image of Sarah, they still do. It is frightening how much power the media still has on people. It is time for people to take to their keyboards and reverse the power of the media. Seriously, who actually goes out and buys a paper anymore?
I salute you President Reagan, you were an honourable man, at a time when America needed you.

Goodbye America The Strong.
Sadly America has lost it's way and is now lost. It's not just about the health bill that has been passed, although it is going to be a huge problem for Americans. I am very sad about what is happening to the great nation next door to us.
House Passes Health Care Bill
One Republican voted for the bill. All I can say is welcome to a socialist medical program like Canada. Get ready to wait in long lineups for any procedure and to pay for everyone with a sniffle. You will pay, they will not.
Health care is only one aspect of the decline of America, the other is how the murderer, Major Nidal Hasan has been portrayed in the media. They just can't seem to say TERRORIST. Let me help them, the guy is a TERRORIST! How else to you describe 13 dead and over 30 injured? Or will MURDERER make everyone feel better?
Look, the guy emptied out his apartment, bought some guns, and jumped on a table to better shoot his victims in the back, what do you want to call him? Lefties will probably call him a "freedom fighter", after all he was scheduled to go over to Iraq and he didn't agree with either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars. Poor baby, maybe he should have headed to Canada where our lefties would have welcomed him with open arms as a "draft dodger"...oops they don't have the draft anymore. Welcome him as a refugee I guess, seeing as America is such a bad place to live that everyone wants to live there.
The guy is nuts. I had one date with a budding psychologist during my university days, he was also nuts. He kept phoning me and telling me I was nuts not to go out with him again. I swear they go into psychology to help cure themselves.
Political correctness is killing democracy. You can not say anything against a minority group without being slammed about being racist. If I was to say that the 70+ Tamils who arrived on a boat should just be sent back, I'm going to be labeled as a racist. How about stating that Islam treats women like slaves? That might get you slapped down by your MP. It's not very politically correct to slam any minority about anything they might do, and that gives them more power than the average Canadian. They are busy abusing that power, remember Levant's problems with a minority person? Why should that person have more power than a Canadian, just because they are a minority?
I am sick and tired of supporting illegal immigrants who think that Canada is meant to be milked for all we have. I am tired of being politically correct. Let me give you an example.
I foster dogs who might go to a blind person. Don't let this shock you, but all blind people are not necessarily nice. Some of them are quite abusive to the dogs. Just because you are blind does not mean that you are a good person. Just because you are are Muslim or Christian doesn't mean that you are a good person. Why can't we state that without being called racist? It is because of the lefty philosophy that minority votes win them power. They could care less if a person is white, black or purple as long as they vote for them. The way they get the votes is to encourage division. East/West, rural/urban, French/English, anything that might win them votes. Sad really.
America is in trouble, only Americans can fix it. I hope they get it right next election.
House Passes Health Care Bill
BREAKING NEWS - In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House narrowly passed landmark health care legislation Saturday night to expand coverage to tens of millions who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous.
