Why President Obama Should Step Aside In 2012

BigNewsNow has been accused of being a partisan, conservative publication–we had to tone down what some of the radicals really say about us–but the fact is that we are concerned about the United States of America.

So, when it comes to the 2012 presidential election, we ask Americans to take a good, hard look at what has happened to them over  the last 2 1/2 years.  Are you better off than you were at the end of 2008?

To be fair, the first wave of economic disaster was just beginning to crest.  Lehman Brothers collapsed and the markets tanked.  The “Too Big To Fail” banks were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy because of aggressive and careless mortgage investment strategies.

We were also embroiled in two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and we were struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ike.

John McCain was not the best candidate that the Republicans could put forth but then their motivation was not to win the 2008 election.  Why?  Because they knew that the economy was in a death spiral so when the Democrats put forth the inexperienced and unqualified Barack Hussein Obama as their candidate, the Republicans knew what they were doing.

The bigger problem is that both parties now know that 2013 will be the year when the economy takes an even bigger dive than it has since President Barack Hussein Obama took office.  If everyone was completely upfront–including the president–President Barack Hussein Obama would do what Lyndon Johnson did in 1967–Obama would pull out of the race.

After all, Herbert Hoover inherited a dipterous economy and the shanty towns that cropped up during his administration are still known as Hoovervilles.

So, why should Barack Hussein Obama take a history lesson from Lyndon Johnson?  Johnson pulled out because his was a failed presidency on many levels.  Obama’s presidency is a failure that surpasses the failures of the Johnson presidency far beyond what was both possible and imaginable in the Johnson era.  Consider. . ..

Unemployment is still over 9%.

No new jobs were created in August, 2011.

Home values have not recovered and are not expected to recover anytime over the next 2 years.

More than 1.5 million Americans have lost employer-sponsored health care because of fears over ObamaCare–it will be cheaper to pay ObamaCare fines than to provide healthcare.

The U.S. budget deficit is at record levels (The last time the US was in a surplus was when Bill Clinton was president–can we bring Bill back?)

Gas prices are at a historical high and there is no relief in sight.

Home foreclosures are at an all time high.

Congressional gridlock is as bad as it has ever been.  The level of partisanism has never been worse and there is NO sign that either party is the least bit interested in compromise.  The Republicans remember too well the abuse that they suffered at the hands of the Democrats following Obama’s election.

Home ownership in the U.S. is no longer the American dream–it’s the American nightmare thanks to abusive mortgage practices.

The current Administration has never been more anti-business that it is today.  The president vilifies big banks and successful business people and insists on over-taxing the the “millionaires and billionaires” (those who earn more than $200k a year).

We have a Spend-And-Tax president who likes to spend our money before we even pay it.

The bottom line is that Barack Hussein Obama’s presidency is the most failed presidency in American history.   He is the most divisive president in history–bar none.   So, We urge and plead with President Barack Hussein Obama to do the right thing.  Learn from history.  Learn from President Lyndon Johnson.   Here’s what President Johnson said,

“My budget in January was, we thought, a tight one. It fully reflected our evaluation of most of the demanding needs of this Nation.

But in these budgetary matters, the President does not decide alone. The Congress has the power and the duty to determine appropriations and taxes.

The Congress is now considering our proposals and they are considering reductions in the budget that we submitted.

As part of a program of fiscal restraint that includes the tax surcharge, I shall approve appropriate reductions in the January budget when and if Congress so decides that that should be done.

One thing is unmistakably clear, however: Our deficit just must be reduced. Failure to act could bring on conditions that would strike hardest at those people that all of us are trying so hard to help.

These times call for prudence in this land of plenty. I believe that we have the character to provide it, and tonight I plead with the Congress and with the people to act promptly to serve the national interest, and thereby serve all of our people.”

Here is what else President Johnson said–his words are as elequent and appropriate today as it is for President Barack Hussein Obama today:

Finally, my fellow Americans, let me say this:

Of those to whom much is given, much is asked. I cannot say and no man could say that no more will be asked of us.

Yet, I believe that now, no less than when the decade began, this generation of Americans is willing to “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

Since those words were spoken by John F. Kennedy, the people of America have kept that compact with mankind’s noblest cause.

And we shall continue to keep it.

Yet, I believe that we must always be mindful of this one thing, whatever the trials and the tests ahead. The ultimate strength of our country and our cause will lie not in powerful weapons or infinite resources or boundless wealth, but will lie in the unity of our people.

This I believe very deeply.

Throughout my entire public career I have followed the personal philosophy that I am a free man, an American, a public servant, and a member of my party, in that order always and only.

For 37 years in the service of our Nation, first as a Congressman, as a Senator, and as Vice President, and now as your President, I have put the unity of the people first. I have put it ahead of any divisive partisanship.

And in these times as in times before, it is true that a house divided against itself by the spirit of faction, of party, of region, of religion, of race, is a house that cannot stand.

There is division in the American house now. There is divisiveness among us all tonight. And holding the trust that is mine, as President of all the people, I cannot disregard the peril to the progress of the American people and the hope and the prospect of peace for all peoples.

So, I would ask all Americans, whatever their personal interests or concern, to guard against divisiveness and all its ugly consequences.

Fifty-two months and 10 days ago, in a moment of tragedy and trauma, the duties of this office fell upon me. I asked then for your help and God’s, that we might continue America on its course, binding up our wounds, healing our history, moving forward in new unity, to clear the American agenda and to keep the American commitment for all of our people.

United we have kept that commitment. United we have enlarged that commitment.

Through all time to come, I think America will be a stronger nation, a more just society, and a land of greater opportunity and fulfillment because of what we have all done together in these years of unparalleled achievement.

Our reward will come in the life of freedom, peace, and hope that our children will enjoy through ages ahead.

What we won when all of our people united just must not now be lost in suspicion, distrust, selfishness, and politics among any of our people.

Believing this as I do, I have concluded that I should not permit the Presidency to become involved in the partisan divisions that are developing in this political year.

With America’s sons in the fields far away, with America’s future under challenge right here at home, with our hopes and the world’s hopes for peace in the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this office–the Presidency of your country.

Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.”

Mr. Obama, please take heed.  America cannot afford four more years of this environment.  This is not a reflection on you, but rather an opportunity for you to call into focus the fact that divisiveness in the American political process is more disastrous than the legacy of any individual.  In the end. the departure of President Johnson paved the way for an exit from Vietnam and the expansion of American influence.

So too can the departure of President Obama pave the way for American prosperity if he has the courage to leave the presidency and call upon the American people to reject the attacks and divisive policies that have become so pervasive in American politics since 2008.  And in so doing, we encourage the president to propose to the American people that no president shall serve no more than one term of 6 years on office.  Let’s take political campaigning out of the presidency

God Bless America.
