The 2012 presidential election: from Barack to Blue collar? Minnesota'sTim Pawlenty
We want Peace, good affordable non-predatory mortgages.We want a man with some grace and not a hillbilly. America's fairy tale past of Green Mansions, John Wayne, On the Waterfront and Cowboys and Indians is being replaced by a new paradigm of corporate domination, innovation and automation, not the duplication of policies we were unhappy with in the first place . He's fresh and daring not the same old same old. He is well informed, well read, compassionate and looks at the issues wholistically as well as highly educated which a lot of us appreciate.What he was missing was the good ole boys network connection. But that is no longer important. What is important is that he does not have to be a sheep and follow his buddies, with the exception of bringing in his Harvard cronies, and that's okay with me.
So he's got as bunch of losers from the last election to run this bid? what a joke. Obama's techies have got to be some of the finest geniuses around. Four years later they learned even more than before when they pioneered the use of the internet in elections.
His style is different and that is refreshing though sometimes unnerving because we are so used to the same old , same old. He works intensely behind the scenes and coupled with his expertise in Constitutional law, he knows what he is doing. The 106th Congressional Record references Iraq ,Bush and what will be the U.S. role in invasions in the future. It is clear, he did not need congressional approval acting in concert with NATO and the treaties set forth.
Obama 2012.
