Obama Faces Campaign Concerns

The economic recovery has not recouped the jobs lost over the past three years. The military is  still overextended in every continent in the world, with small relief hardly shoring up the pacifist lobby which help propel the President into power in 2008.

The low starting point in 2009 has worn thin for voters, who expected a rollicking surge of economic growth. This progressive president, however, has only expanded the role, scope, and sway of the federal government, taking money from impoverished taxpayers to buoy a vision of state intervention from womb to tomb. "Julia" is as fictional as "Big Brother Watching You", just without the dystopian myopia of comrades wringing their hands in the midst of perpetual propaganda and war a la 1984.

President Obama's election was a hyped-up, Facebook-drive fluke, a bandwagon of reaction following eight years of extensive government expansion in the name of "compassionate conservatism." The current chief executive has held onto the "passion" of Big Government, whether voters have wanted to come along with the sorry and misguided program or not.

Swing states  are swinging away from President Obama in growing numbers. Iowa is turning into a battleground state once again. North Carolina and Virginia are returning to the conservative fold, along with the Sunshine state. Governor Scott Walker and his diligent party of union-limiting crusaders are cruising to survival of recall efforts and witnessing the revival of a Great Lakes state which has courageously curbed an expensive entitlement of legalized cronyism. The Dairy State is slated to send another Republican senator to Washington, as well as looking like a promising red state for the next election cycle. Perhaps native Son and presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney will also pull Michigan into the Republican fold for the first time in over two decades.

Minorities feel the minority pinch of "little to show" for their colored enthusiasm for a distinctly different president, at least on the outside. It was the white vote that got Obama into office, and it is the white vote that the President is also losing. African-Americans, resolutely opposed to gay marriage and still waiting for adequate education reform, will most likely sit out 2012 in greater numbers instead of casting their voters for the Republican candidate -- yet at least the successful venture capitalist is not afraid to venture into poor, urban, black neighborhoods to pitch himself as alternative to three and a half years of failure.

 Obama cruised into office with a bare 5% advantage over a seasoned legislator who had run for the highest office in the land eight years prior. He was not anti-Bush, sadly, and the incumbent has been W. on steroids. He is crashing and burning now, commanding less respect than Carter, still blaming the past of others for the present that is unequivocally his. The nation is hoping for change. Like him or hate him, or just plain distrust him, Governor Romney is poised to take back the White House and usher in real reform and recovery for the United States of America,
