I have been silent for a while.

As 2012 revs up I look at it dread. I can just hear and see all the comments about the President. It's not like everyone hates Obama already, for a year all we are going to hear is how much Obama has screwed up America.

I have been a harsh critic of the President, but I feel I have the right to. I voted for the President, I bought his "hope and change" rhetoric-- So, I do believe that those that typically vote Democratic have the right to question him.

I think Barack Obama has made some really stupid decisions. He has not stood up or even made an extreme effort to help those that did vote for him.

Barack Obama was elected because of economic issues in 2008, and if he loses in 2012-- it will be due to economic issues.

I think Obama has done more than extraordinary well on Foreign Policy issues. I think that his refocusing on Afghanistan, and his leadership led to the killing of the mastermind of 9/11. He did what he said he would do, and for that I think he deserves some credit.

But Obama has done sub-par on Domestic Issues. However, our nation is so messed up economically I don't know how anyone can fix it. So, I don't place too much blame on him for it... But, I do place blame that he hasn't stood for what he thinks will fix it. When he won in 2008, he made a point to end the Bush Tax Cuts. He caved...

In Wisconsin, the Labor Unions are in big trouble, the President said he would march with him. This NEVER happened, and I think he will pay for it.


You see my problem with him? Obama seems like a dead fish most of the time when it comes to Domestic Issues. When Foreign things come up, I see this strong and confident leader. But, when Domestic Issues come he waffles-- and we don't need that right now.

So 2012 is coming up... the Republicans are lining up to be elected. And so far, there is only one in the crowd that I would feel would be okay running the country.

I do not like Palin, I think she's a horrible candidate and even more a horrible person. I don't think she's qualified, she's bitter, she says things that make my blood boil. I can't stand to listen to her for 4-8 years. I think her connection with Tuscon, even though I do not think she is to blame-- will ensure her that she will never win. She shouldn't even try, more than half of her party doesn't want her to run. And even more out of the public, would never vote for her. She's the worst decision for President.

Michelle Bachman, is the same thing-- Sarah part 2. Only she's even more stupid.... Nope, not gonna happen.

Herman Cain?- I don't know much about this guy, but from what I have read.. it kind of sounds scary... A Pizza Chain Owner, President? But like I said, I don't know much so that kind of freaks me out. I think he will cause a lot of buzz and a lot of stir because he's different.

Tim Pawlenty?- Just boring... He seems decent, but he's just lacking pizazz that a candidate would need.

Rick Perry... I'll say it, He can't even run Texas, much less the country. I guess I have never been a Perry fan, so the mere thought of him being my President makes me want to vomit. I don't want to campaign for Obama, but I will if he enters the race. NOPE. He will never be elected in the Primary, nor the General public... He's too ignorant.

There are several others, but all of those aren't even worth mentioning.

So that leaves one-- Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney will win the Presidential Primary, and more over he is the ONLY one that can be electable right now.I still think Romney is a long shot, but if things can't be done about the economy soon-- I think we can pretty sure that Romney may be President of the United States.

However....

This kind of rings like the Election of 2004. Where as Foreign issues and the Kerry lackluster campaign ensured that Bush would get 4 more years... Romney's campaign already kind of looks like it could be a Kerry type campaign.

Romney makes compelling arguments, and he is positioning himself already to hit with the Independents.

But what really surprises me is the Republican party. The Republican Party has became so idelogically bitter and so full of vile, that I don't even know where the good Republicans are. Romney represents the last of the good Republicans.

No one will vote for Palin, Cain, Perry, Bachmann-- that crowd. They may have voted for Tea Party candidates for 2010, but a national Tea Party candidate will never win.

It's still a ways from now... anything can happen.
