Finished goal of running the distance of 2,080 miles from Lafayette, LA to Washington D.C and back!!!...plus 339.1 miles


0.0 miles run this week.
Daily running average for the week is 0.00 miles per day.
Total amount run in the past 800 days is 2,419.1 miles.
Daily running average overall is 3.02 miles per day.

Day800 Tuesday 11/06/12

ran 0.0 miles
Today is the final day of running against Obama. In 800 days I have run an average of 3.02 miles every single day against this president and what his vision of America is. My goal was to run the distance from Lafayette, LA to Washington D.C. and back, which is 2,080 miles. Instead I surpassed 2,080 miles and ran an extra 339.1 miles, which is coincidentally the current circumference of Barack Obama's head and his ever-expanding ego. It swells at the same rate as our national debt.

It's been fun and I thank you for following the blog or just checking it out here and there. It is beyond my comprehension how Barack Hussein Obama was ever elected to begin with, or how he is reasonably eligible to even put up an argument for a second term, but here we are. 

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.  It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. 

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”

My final words are for my family. My wonderful wife, Lindsey, I love you so much and thank you for your patience over the last 800 days and for supporting this time-consuming goal I set for myself. You are an incredible woman and, as of recently, a wonderful mom. My five-month-old son, Henry, is the best thing that has ever happened to Lindsey and I. Since he has been here it has made me run further and faster and with even more passion than ever. 

Thanks again for following this blog and hopefully we will all wake up tomorrow to a befuddled mainstream media that won't be able to pick their jaws up off the ground until Romney's inaugurated.

Day799 Monday 11/05/12



ran 0.0 miles 
We are on the eve of deciding America's long-term future. We finally made it. The election is tomorrow and the people finally get to collectively speak for the first time in four years regarding the leadership of Barack Hussein Obama. In 2010, we spoke during the midterm elections and overwhelmingly rejected Obama's decisions by plucking like weeds from the unsightly garden of Congress many of those who supported what our president was selling. 

What has changed since 2010? Things have only gotten worse. If America was disappointed two years ago then our nation should be enraged after four years.

Happy voting and, one way or the other, our nation is going to get exactly what it deserves, one of two extremely opposing directions, once the final ballot is cast.

Day798 Sunday 11/04/12

ran 1.7 miles
Today ends week 114 of running against Obama. I ran 1.7 miles this week, averaging 0.24 miles per day.

Today was my first run in three weeks. We are only two days away from getting Barack Hussein Obama out of the White House and not being able to run as this election reaches its end has been disappointing. I could only muster 1.7 miles today and it might have been my last run against Obama. My injury still needs time to heal but I wanted to make at least one more run.

The Carolina Panthers beat the Washington Redskins today. That's great news if you happen to want Barack Obama to be fired on Tuesday. Out of the last 18 presidential elections, since the Redskins moved to Washington in 1937, they have accurately predicted the outcome of 17 elections by simply winning or losing. 

If the Redskins win the game before the election, the incumbent party wins. If they lose the game before the election, the challenger wins. The Redskins lost 21-13. It sounds like nothing more than superstition but their track record is impeccable. The only time the Redskins were wrong was during the Bush-Gore election. And they were still half-right because Gore won the popular vote.

Looking ominous for Obama.

“Nationally, the one thing that is needed above anything else is job creation. Yet, the president’s economic proposal is to raise taxes on the job-creating class. Why ever would you raise taxes on anyone when real unemployment is around 15 percent? That defies all economic theories.  Let’s face it: Romney is more of a businessman than a politician. You can resent his wealth all you want, but he has a proven record as a turnaround artist.”

“Class warfare might be a successful strategy for cobbling together 270 electoral votes. But it’s not the way to unite a divided nation.

“Sure, funding for public broadcasting is an insignificant part of the budget, but if Obama isn’t even willing to cut one one-hundreth of 1 percent of federal spending for something that is non-vital to America, then the president is not serious about reducing spending at all.
If Obama is not serious about that, he is the wrong person for the job.”

“But here’s the rub: Obama has had four years. What improvements he’s overseen are largely incremental. Instead, lectures become excuses.

In all of that campaigning, that plan didn’t emerge.”
