Final 2012 Vote Tally Provides President Obama With A Convincing Victory!

The final vote tally is in and the President's victory is significantly stronger than it first appeared on election night. Barack Obama is the first president in 56 years to garner at least 51% of the popular vote in two consecutive elections. President Obama received 65.9 million votes and Mitt Romney received 60.9 million votes. In percentage terms that works out to 51.1% for Obama versus 47.2% for Romney. The 47% figure is kind of ironic for Mitt Romney because of the infamous 47% video which played a major role in the 2012 Presidential election.

The last President to achieve this feat was Dwight D. Eisenhower (1952 and 1956). There were a number of pundits who labeled the 2012 election as close and therefore did not provide President Obama with a mandate. I argue that his victory margin of 5 million votes during a period of 7.8% unemployment was a VERY convincing win. It was not really that close in the electoral college or the popular vote. It's a tough pill for the GOP to swallow, but they need to come to terms with the fact that their candidate and their policies were soundly rejected by a solid majority of voters.

Politifact's "Lie of the Year" is Romney's False Jeep Ad

Politifact has revealed their "Lie of the Year" for 2012. Not surprisingly, they selected Mitt Romney's Jeep ad that he ran in Ohio in the closing weeks of the 2012 Presidential campaign. Romney made the false claim that Jeep was planning to move U.S. JOBS to China during a speech in Defiance, Ohio on October 25th. His campaign then went on to produce a series of radio and television ads that doubled-down on the falsehood despite an outcry from numerous media outlets and fact-checking organizations. Most political observers concluded that the ad backfired badly and some believe it may may been responsible for his electoral loss in the state of the Ohio.

Republicans Cannot Call For Impeachment For ANY Reason!

Although I am predicting an Obama win in the fall election, I do not feel it is guaranteed by any means. My recent postings about current polling data and Obama's pending VP decision have me a little concerned. But, for now, let's go with the assumption that Barack Obama is sworn in on January 20, 2009 as the President of the United States. What follows is my instructions for all the Republicans who continued to defend the current President and his administration during all of the illegal and impeachable offenses committed during the last 8 years.

Since we have now entered the era of "anything goes" when it comes to the illegal activities of the President, you Republicans will need to keep your mouths shut when you see illegal activity by any future Democratic President. No whining! You got it? If we did not impeach the current occupant of the White House for his blatant law-breaking, then I am officially declaring any and all President Obama illegalities off-limits for impeachment. Any calls for his impeachment or any complaining about these activities will be considered unamerican and unpatriotic, just as those of us who have criticized President Bush have been labeled. Please, no statements by Republicans who are shocked and outraged, but didn't "bat an eye" as Bush trampled on the Constitution (warrantless wiretapping, torture, etc.), outed undercover CIA agents for political reasons (treason-punishable by death), and made a joke out of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Obama does not strike me as the kind of guy who would commit blatant unconstitutional crimes. I would be profoundly disappointed if he did. I actually wish he would instruct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue indictments against Bush (warantless wiretapping, torture), Cheney (outing of an undercover CIA Agent), Rove (outing of an undercover CIA agent, political prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman), Gonzales (torture, U.S. Attorney firings, illegal hiring practices). It looks like this probably won't happen based on Obama's recent comments.
