Landslide for Obama in 2012?

I don’t believe Obama is “constrained” like other Presidents-to-be.  Most Presidents who win close elections try to govern from the middle because they want to win in four years and worry that if they push their own left or right agenda they’ll lose the next time around.

Obama knows the next election will be very different for three reasons:

1. Fairness Doctrine – Like most issues, Obama has been vague but the leaders of his own party (Durbin, Pelosi, Kerry) have not – they want the fairness doctrine back and conservative talk radio shut down.  Without talk radio, conservative free speech goes dark and liberals, like Obama, will benefit. 
2. Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) – Another act that sounds like it promotes freedom but does the opposite.  This bill will make voting for a union public.  Right now, it is private.  If the EFCA is passed, union reps can come to your house and ask if you’re going to vote to unionize.  How intimidating is that?  Even George McGovern is against this.  In a rare instance of clarity – Obama came out in favor of this bill as a Senator.  When Obama is President, it will become law. 
3. Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants – Obama will have to time it carefully, but we will see another Amnesty bill come up for a vote.  Remember what stopped it last time?  Conservative talk radio (see step 1).  Without talk radio, Amnesty will pass creating 20 million new Obama supporters for the next election.  Obama won by just 7 million this time.

So, Obama has a plan that has nothing to do bi-partisanship or governing from the middle.  Pretty scary, huh??

Let’s organize a March for Freedom.
