Obama's Re-election Strategy

With the announcement today of significant budget cuts in our gargantuan military budget coinciding with the withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, President Obama has negated his bellicose actions over the past three years and is positioned as the 'peace candidate' in the 2012 elections.  Ironically, his Republican opponents are huffing and puffing about who will be seen as the champion of the Neo-conservative movement and bring fire and brimstone upon the Iranian people.  After ten years of war the American people when presented with the option of peace versus war will choose peace. Advantage: Obama.

Economically, Obama runs against Wall Street Mitt Romney and  Big Capital's funding of offshoring as a fundamental reason for high unemployment in the USA.  He'll say, " these people caused the problem that I am trying to fix for the American people." Advantage: Obama

With the repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell' in the military and his distinct preference for gay/lesbian appointments within his administration and the Supreme Court, he will own the alternative lifestyle vote especially if someone like Rick Santorum in the VP candidate.  This political stance also gets him a fair share of the woman vote who perceive his "fairness" as an admirable attribute.  Advantage: Obama.

Jews and Blacks:  He owns them even though he governs against their interests.  Call it Jewish guilt and black pride but he'll get 90% of the votes.  Advantage:  Obama

Mexicans:  We should expect some type of initiative to grant amnesty and citizenship to the millions of illegals aliens in the country by Presidential decree.  Can you imagine a Mexican relating to Mitt Romeny who just bought a $20 million ocean front home in La Jolla, CA.?  Maybe...if he hoping to be his gardener, maid or cook.  Advantage:  Obama

Women:  He'll pick Hilary as his VP candidate.  She is still very popular with woman and she will be contrasted with any GOP VP candidate  and the female cartoon character Sarah Palin from the 2008 election. Advantage: Obama

I'm sorry but Mitt Romney is not going to sell too well this year with his Wall Street background, flip flopping on issues and his newly found Neo-conservative credentials as a hawk wanting to attack Iran.  Obama has the mainstream media, celebrities and pop culture totally supporting him.

I don't think the election will even be close despite what the polls are saying today.  Given the dynamics of the Electoral College, Romney will have to win Ohio, Michigan or Pennsylvania to have any chance.  I don't see him relating to Joe Six Pack.

P.S. Obama will double cross all of his constituencies once he is reelected and he will order the bombing of Iran.
