The desperate Obama campaign team is in "Plan B" mode after attacking Mitt Romney and his history with Bain Capital like a sledge hammer to a cotton ball over, and over, and over, and over again. The cotton ball just keeps fluffing back up. Significant members of Barack Obama's own party are even calling him out and demanding that he use his resources in a more effective way to benefit his campaign and not hurt it by attacking broadly accepted modes of free enterprise. However, if he had more effective resources to use, based on his record, I think he would be using them. Apparently he does not.

Today ends week ninety of running against Obama. I ran 24.7 miles this week, averaging 3.53 miles per day.

I remember more than a year ago seeing images like this in Greece and wondering if the same thing could happen in America. Well, here we are. These pictures are from the Chicago NATO summit. It's nothing new and OWS has been on the streets for a long time wreaking similar havoc.  Their voice is as important as any others but it is unfortunate that it is so destructive and defeatist.

Who are these angry people in the streets going to vote for? They can't be happy with their options when you consider what they are asking for. They will probably not vote at all just to spite the system before them, which they abhor. No candidate is advocating a utopia or running on the pure chaos ticket, although Obama is close, which these individuals welcome, in the form of defeat, as opposed to every immense opportunity America has to offer.

It is still early, but these maps Karl Rove reports every couple weeks are as interesting as they are trivial to look at. I'm ready for the three debates we've been promised. They are still far out on the horizon of 2012, but they will be epic. There are so many unanswered questions that Barack Obama has never been asked, which can only be asked in the uninhibited, vulnerable arena of debate. These debates will hold a lot of weight and both of these guys will bring everything they have with them and leave it all on the field once its over. 

Watching Barack Obama defend his record, which he does not brag about, and listening to him discuss contraception issues, gay marriage, and all of the other tertiary social topics that hold no gravity next to what is really important like the price of gas, the rate of unemployment, and the ridiculous amount of debt that has been accumulated under his watch, just to name a few. 

In June we get the Supreme Court decision on ObamaCare. That is going to be a huge game-changer regardless of which way the vote goes. If the justices deem the whole law, or even just the mandate, unconstitutional then Conservatives will be castigated as cruel, insensitive brutes that took "your" health care away. If the law is judged to be constitutional then precedent will have been set for the federal government to interfere with and mandate anything in your life that you consider important to you and take pride in being able to make your own decisions about. Who is the winner here? Both sides of the aisle are anxiously preparing for either outcome and, regardless of which outcome it is, both sides have an equally strong approach to dealing with whatever fallout ensues. There is no right or wrong answer; only damage control and spin.

The position of POTUS has become such a comical charade...maybe it's always been this way, and I am only now achieving full-blown, teeth-grinding, headache-inducing awareness in my mid-thirties, but, really? REALLY? As individual Americans we have enemies coming from the federal government ahead of us, in the rear, and from both sides. I've come to terms with the realization that this election is yet another case of weighing lesser evils on a fixed scale of good. It is only a matter of which side can fix the scale better. Barack Obama is the wrong man, and four years later all of his issues that should have been reported in 2008 are just now surfacing. The media gently brushes the back side of its hand along our cheeks comforting us with the argument that the dye is cast and he is president, so move on, let's stick to the issues, coaxing our doubts with a reality they want to create, which is false. 

I'm not ready to move "forward". If I am the butt of a joke, which is what the American people are to the federal government, and honoring our Constitution is the dispensable punch line, four years of Barack Obama as president is nowhere near enough time for me to forgive or forget. 

The latest CEO of Yahoo was recently fired for simply lying about one single credential on his resume. In the real world that is a big deal. What world does our president and our politicians live in where they can get away with so much more? 

I am going to vote for A.B.O, but only because it is a lesser evil. My real goal is to simply detach myself as much as possible from the federal government, thereby being a self-reliable, contributing citizen of the United States of America that weakens the power of government by acting upon and not relying upon. 

I posted a video of Romney being made a fool of so it is only fair that I post a video of Obama receiving the same treatment. Coincidentally, the guy that wrote this song was a twenty-six-year-old middle school football coach who got fired for posting it on YouTube. 137.8 miles to go.

The picture above is no evidence or victory for birthers, but it is a real piece of our president's history and definitely worth checking out here. Just one more layer to this president, Barack Obama, who very few Americans seem too know much about.

I was glad to see Breitbart News release this and as we move closer to the election hopefully the videos Andrew Breitbart was raving about before his untimely death will be released, as well. Nothing has been shown yet to fulfill the conviction in that man's eyes, passion, or words in the days leading up to his death. Perhaps this is a start.

And here is Rev. Jeremiah Wright, just released today, discussing many controversial sides to Barack Obama that our unreliable media sources completely failed to report in 2008. Now, the big question is whether Romney should use this information as ammunition in his campaign or if he should shrug the blatant evidence that Barack Obama might possibly be the shadiest president in American history and simply stick to the issues we face. I'm torn on the matter myself, but I'll tell you this. If the news sources we watch, hear, and read had any genuine interest in you or me, or at least did their jobs with integrity, keeping an informed public as their priority, and had not relied on ratings, controversy, and tragedy so much, the man in the picture above would never have been elected president of the Unites States of America.

I cannot recall who said it, but someone claimed "Journalism died in 2008". I believe it. We live in a time where your gut, your instincts, and a highly calibrated b.s. radar to read between the lines of what is reported and what is not are vital to survive.

Here is Joe Biden once again doing no favors for the Democratic party or his boss.

One other quick note, back in March, President Barack Hussein Obama had served a budget to the House of Representatives and they had voted 414-0 against it. Today, the House served that same budget to the Senate and they rejected it by a margin of 99-0.

You construe for yourself what sort of statement that makes about a president of the United States of America. I say it's humiliating and quite possibly unprecedented. Not only in the world of budgets but in the full scope of a sitting president proposing something that not one single individual in Congress will support...that has to sting.

Senate Democrats argued the amendment they unanimously voted on did not actually match Obama's budget document, which was thousands of pages long. Republicans claimed they used all of Obama's numbers in the proposal and that there were no differing comparisons to dispute. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama dared any one Democrat on the floor to note any errors. No Democratic Senators stepped forward to challenge the claim.

This is priceless on so many different levels. So Will Smith is doing a "Men In Black" promotion in France. The beginning of the video is France's newly elected socialist leader, Francois Hollande, expressing his intentions to tax all French who earn $1 million or more at a rate of 75%. When the video cuts to Will Smith being interviewed he expresses how humble he is and how enthusiastic he is to give back to others through taxation in America. He throws out a rate, something like 30% or 35%, and continues to discuss his modest beginning and where he is now and how much he owes to his country. Then, the interviewer throws out the fact that under Hollande's leadership the tax rate for $1 million-plus earners is 75%. Will Smith's reaction speaks for itself. Look for it around 1:20. Poor guy obviously had no idea something so insane could even exist. Apparently, Will Smith does not follow much news in America are see the path we are heading down under Barack Obama.

Europe is crumbling, the Middle East is rising, and America is $15,722,594,525,973 in debt.  Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...in the time it took for me to type this sentence our debt has gone up to $15,722,595,847,965. And the best idea our president has to campaign with at a time of woe and deficit like this is to "evolve" into endorsing gay marriage.

Charles Darwin is turning in his grave right now because Barack Obama just took a term dear to the great evolutionist pioneer and turned it into meaningless mush.  "Evolve" is now going to become a political term and scapegoat for flip-flopping over a period of two or three years on certain issues as defined by a politician. What once took hundreds of millenniums to observe even slightly has taken Barack Obama a matter of a few years to speed up.

This man signed into legislation the most radical, expensive, and controversial health care bill in American history and he does not have one word to say about it. Usually, when a president achieves something he believes to be monumental he uses that piece of his record to campaign with. 

This man signed a stimulus package that has done very little to meet its ends, only putting us and our unborn children into further debt we, and certainly not our children, deserve to pay. He does not campaign on this. Instead, he holds fundraisers with wealthy individuals who represent everything Occupy Wall Street despises, he and his counterparts the whole time supporting the movement and the movement itself rarely ever expressing the obvious hypocrisy.

Then came the midterm elections. Democrats were booted out across the American landscape. Those who were elected campaigned on one single message. And that message was "We are going to stop all of this wasteful spending". To their credit much has been curbed. The 112th Congress will go down in history as one of the most unproductive Congresses of all time, but I think that was the job they were elected to do under the leadership of a president like Barack Obama. I congratulate them.

After 2010, Obama slowed his golf game and increased his executive orders. He lost the power, through the actions of his first two years, to further set this nation back and since then he has done very little worth campaigning on. This is why, only six months before the 2012 presidential election, the best idea he and his minions have is for Barack Obama to be the first president in the history of the United States of America to fully endorse gay marriage.

I don't mean to downplay this epic moment in homosexual history, my only point is that Rome is burning right now and our leader is making a distraction out of the gay community. No offense, guys and gals, but there are some much more important matters to deal with in our immediate future.

How many people are in that picture? How many more people surround that small rectangular fragment of people? And who is that man in the suit standing above the masses?

That is a snapshot of more than 200,000 people thronged in Berlin to hear Barack Obama speak in 2008. 

Our president has become tarnished over the last few years and it is obvious that he now lacks the luster to draw such crowds now that his campaign message has translated into a presidential reality and disappointment.

At this point, I no longer even gain much satisfaction from criticizing Barack Hussein Obama are poignantly detailing how little he deserves to be the President of the United States of America. It's too easy. The only frustration lies in how little it is reported. The man was officially elected president by a majority of Americans and that's fine. I don't like it but I accept it. I am doing everything in my humble power to prevent it from happening again in 2012 but if it does, it does. I am still going to live my life with the integrity and discipline that can only be attained by the least possible amount of governmental influence. 

Regarding the picture above and so many others we see just like it, here is what I don't get. Why are so many people fooled into believing that electing one single man, who bleeds just like they do and sits on a toilet and craps each morning just like they do, can somehow change the world or end their woes? Why do they not understand that it is they who wield the power and it is their goals, ambitions, and beliefs in themselves that garner success.  It is not one man. To even appear at a rally of this caliber in size is basically forfeiting any belief you have in yourself and selling those beliefs to one single man who you are foolish enough to believe can somehow save you.

My ideal leader is one that has America so bustling and busy that I don't even know what his name is or what his face looks like. The picture above is no solution. It serves no purpose other than to further inflate the ego of yet another politician. And, that's all that Barack Hussein Obama is; one more of many others who all seek a podium, a teleprompter, and an agenda completely unrelated to the words that are coming out of their mouths.

Regardless of how you may feel about Ron Paul, I think we can all agree that the mainstream media, Washington, and whatever other powers that be are blatantly doing everything they are capable of to blot out his ideas and campaign successes from the ears and eyes of the average American. It is actually a courageous achievement Ron Paul has managed, being honest and actually doing what he says he is going to do, abiding by the Constitution the way it was intended to be, and all of this in a political arena mostly filled with useless drama and worthless pomp. 

Ron Paul is a living, breathing, walking United States Constitution. And considering how much extreme disapproval is cast on Congress as a whole and how evenly divided Barack Obama has America divided it is no wonder the above mentioned entities of power are so afraid of him and the ideas he represents. Put simply, Ron Paul would take all their toys away. But the bratty children we keep electing are going to do everything in their power to prevent that.

• Romney: 49%, Obama: 45%, Third party candidate: 3%, Undecided: 2% 

• 26% of the nation's voters strongly approve of Obama's performance as president and 42% strongly disapprove, giving him a Presidential Approval Index of -16

Meet Federal Inmate No. 11593-051, Keith Judd. He is currently serving close to an eighteen year sentence for extortion in the state of Texas. For reasons unknown this man threw his name in the hat for the West Virginia primary yesterday and actually walked away with...I mean paced around his jail cell with 41% of the vote as a close second to President Barack Obama. 

Judd managed to win ten counties and 41% of the statewide vote. He even earned himself a delegate at the Democratic National Convention.

With a $2,500.00 filing fee and a notarized "certificate of announcement" to appear on the ballot, Keith Judd won a huge victory yesterday and handed Barack Obama what has to be one of the most humiliating insults in presidential history. 

An incarcerated criminal or Barack Obama? Forty-one percent of West Virginians teemed to their local precincts to make the simple statement that they would rather vote for a convicted criminal who is behind bars to be their president than Barack Obama and the record of his past four years.

I congratulate Mr. Judd for his impressive campaign, but I think Barack Obama deserves even more of a spotlight for a presidential term that could drive so many individuals in an entire state to despise him so much that they would vote for Federal Inmate No. 11593-051 over him.

A lot of big news today. Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, an eighty-year-old Senate veteran, lost his Senate seat of thirty-six years in the Indiana primary today. He was defeated by Indiana state Treasure Richard Mourdock, who is backed by conservative organizations and individuals from the NRA, to the Tea Party, to the Washington-based fiscal conservative group the Club for Growth. That is a big statement.

In Barack Obama's ongoing attempt to campaign on everything but his actual record, he is now fundraising with a promotion to give your very own mother a "shout out" on Mother's Day via Twitter. I get this guys emails everyday from his campaign team. They are worded in a manner that any seven-year-old can fully absorb and they serve no purpose but to raise campaign dollars through completely irrelevant, superficial means, $3.00 at a time. That appears to be his bottom line.

Here is Rick Santelli with yet another epic bombshell of reality:

And here is something about Andrew Breitbart. Remember him? He was the man who promised America videos of Barack Obama chatting with "silver ponytails" like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn in his younger days. He died mere minutes into the day that he intended to release the videos. Shortly after 12 a.m. on March 1, 2012, he suffered what has been deemed a heart attack. His death is oozing with conspiracy theory and here are a couple more blunt, irregular objects to place under your logic leveler. First, the videos Breitbart was referring to have never even been aired. He vividly described videos with Bill Ayers in Barack Obama's college days and once his death came to pass, the videos never even surfaced. Hannity aired a redundant piece on Fox about a radical relationship Obama had in his Harvard days with a professor named Bell and that was it. Where are the videos Andrew Breitbart was so passionately describing leading up to his death? Just as Breitbart died the day he intended to release these tapes, which would "change the entire election landscape", on April 20, the same day Breitbart's autopsy was to be released, one of the L.A. County forensic technicians involved in Breitbart's autopsy, Michael Cormier, 61, died of what is suspected to be arsenic poisoning. In both cases, the deceased were "seemingly healthy, yet suddenly stricken with severe sickness". And, 26-year-old Christopher Lasseter, the only eye witness to see Andrew Breitbart drop to his untimely death, has vanished. Lasseter claimed to have seen Breitbart drop dead "like a sack of potatoes". Lasseter claimed Breitbart's skin was an unusual bright red color when he collapsed, which is a symptom not related to heart attacks.

“I asked Lassiter specifically about Breitbart’s skin color and he said it was “bright red.” That bothered me because as an Army medical corpsman I knew that most heart attack victims turned blue,” wrote Paul Huebl, adding that Breitbart had drunk little alcohol and, “Poisons like cyanide, or carbon monoxide are known for turning skin red…The reality is they cannot be detected by normal toxicology testing.”

Private investigators have been hired to find Lasseter and nothing has turned up. Following the questionable death of Michael Cormier it seems Lasseter no longer has an address or any phone numbers and he is simply in hiding to avoid further involvement.

But I'm sure this is all just coincidence.
