#65. The Campaign Theme of Change
In 2008, Barack Obama campaigned on the theme of change. Why? Because he clearly saw
that the Bush Administration had led us into two simultaneous 10-year
wars on questionable motives that created a deficit of 4 trillion
dollars. Obama declared such a legacy to be unpatriotic and also irresponsible to saddle future generations with such a large national debt.
So, Obama
promised, in his first term, to "cut the deficit in half", stating, “We
know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out.”
Although
the country knew nothing about Barack Obama -- for he had no experience
to hoot on and all his records were locked up – yet he was voted into
the Presidency because the voters agreed with him … that change was needed.
Now, in 2012, President Obama is running another campaign for the Presidency, but with a different theme than before. I boldly proclaim
that he is making a huge mistake. Do you want to know what I think he
should campaign on? OK, you got it. Thanks for asking. (I wonder if the
President reads my blog!)
Obama should campaign on the theme of CHANGE. He should proclaim that the present administration has run up a debt of $16,000,000,000,000 which is unpatriotic and also irresponsible
to saddle future generations with such a large national debt. He should
acknowledge, “We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out.”
He should declare his strong disapproval of this present administration and its policies … and campaign on … CHANGE !!!
