Barack Obama Runs On Empty And Toward Defeat

By DOUGLAS MACKINNON

The social experiment that was Barack Obama's election and presidency is 
over. Way over.

As one who was born in the heart of Boston and worked the political 
world of Washington for 20 years, I know quite a few Democrats. Some are 
family, and many are close friends. Most voted for Obama in 2008. None 
at this point is inclined to vote for him in 2012.

Why? Because they view him as an abject failure across the board and 
have decided to put the welfare of their families and themselves before 
the empty rhetoric of the Obama campaign before it's too late.

Because of my time in Washington and past positions there, I also know 
and am friends with quite a few journalists. I speak with many on a 
regular basis, and it's safe to say that the majority of them lean left 
politically.

That said, in off-the-record conversations with my left-leaning 
journalistic friends, not one believes Obama is going to win 
re-election. Not one. While most believe Mitt Romney to be a weak 
candidate, they are still convinced that he will comfortably defeat 
Obama on Nov. 6.

These liberal and jaded journalists privately admit that Obama has been 
exposed for what he is: an overhyped, self-invented candidate with no 
real-world experience who has been frozen into inaction by the enormity 
of the office he holds.

Obama has no domestic policy to speak of. He has no foreign policy to 
speak of. He has no jobs program to speak of. His signature health care 
plan is driving doctors out of the field, crippling small businesses and 
putting thousands of Americans out of work.

The Obama of 2012 has nothing positive to run on. Nothing. And guess 
what? He, more than anyone else in his White House or campaign, knows it.

He knows his election and presidency were social engineering gone wrong. 
He knows his biography is unraveling faster than the baseball that Roy 
Hobbs crushed into the rain in the movie "The Natural." He knows that he 
has run out of all options but one: Go negative on Mitt Romney 24/7 and 
hope a heretofore compromised mainstream media will once again 
unethically act as his surrogate.

Unfortunately for Obama, two massive holes exist in his "demonize Romney 
with an assist from the media" campaign tactic.

First, most Americans who are paying attention to this contest have come 
to the conclusion that Romney is a very decent and moral person who does 
have a fairly impressive business background coupled with some other 
real-world experience.

Second, as mentioned above, more and more members of the Journalists In 
The Tank For Obama club seem to be having second thoughts. As one of my 
friends in that club said, "Hey, we have kids in school, have to pay 
mortgages and want to keep our jobs just like everyone else."
