Obama, Four reasons to reconsider before you mark that box

For those who might still be thinking about marking that box to vote for Barack Obama, here are several things you must consider before making that move.

1) Benghazi
This issue alone should be sufficient to say no.  This not only shows an incredible level of incompetence, but violates the "we leave nobody behind" that Barack Obama stated after Hurricane Sandy.  This is the motto of Military personnel who go where others flee.  When they hear gunfire they rush to help.  Anyone, military or not, who considers this and doesn't have a burning feeling of pain in their chest just isn't thinking clearly.  The juxtaposition of Obama's use of the phrase has, and should, disturb everyone, when studying the events at Benghazi..

Reports indicate two drones and an AC-130 gunship were in the area when Benghazi was attacked, yet their resources were not used

The security personnel in Benghazi had painted a laser mark on the attackers outside the consulate. This mark would have made possible a response by the drones or the AC-130 routine had they been allowed to zero in on it. The member of the security team who was on the roof of the consulate, spraying machine gun fire down on the attackers, continually asked for backup from the AC-130. It never came.

US troops in Benghazi would not have been painting targets on the ground unless there was air support overhead

The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights.

Bigger Than Watergate Proof that the President is Lying about Benghazi

One of the former SEALs was actively painting the target.  That means that Specter WAS ON STATION!  Probably an AC130U.  A ground laser designator is not a briefing pointer laser.  You do not "paint" a target until the weapons system/designator is synched; which means that the AC130 was on station.

Only two places could have called off the attack at that point; the WH situation command (based on POTUS direction) or AFRICOM commander based on information directly from the target area.
If that SEAL was actively "painting" a target; something was on station to engage!  And the decision to stand down goes directly to POTUS!
This is far bigger than Watergate.
The second worst feeling in the world has to be the platform crew being desperately asked for help, given a clear target and then having to stand down and watch your fellow Americans die.
The worst has to be the team on the ground knowing that the President just left you to die.

We do not know for certain, as unlike the night of Hurricane Sandy, the video that night of the WH situation room was never released.  However it would appear likely that Barak Obama went to bed that night and left the military to die.  One interpretation of the executive priveldge coverup (repeatedly sending out Susan Rice and many others to say it was a spontaneous demonstration over a movie, when they had been on the phone with front line personnel for seven hours, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it wasn't) is that its probably evidence that Obama knows the mistake is staggering.  Watergate cost no one's life, but did cause Nixon to resign from the Presidency!  And justifiably so.

2) Abysmal Energy Policy
November surprise: EPA planning major post-election anti-coal regulation

President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA.
More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPA’s greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion.
The rush is a major sign of panic by environmentalists inside the Obama administration. If Obama wins, the EPA would have another four full years to implement their anti-fossil fuel agenda. But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo.
Environmentalists at the EPA pulled this trick before in 2000 when the Clinton administration rushed out a finding that Mercury emissions from power plants were a growing public health threat pursuant to the Clean Air Act. That finding did not regulate power plants itself, but it did force the Bush administration to begin a lengthy regulatory process. The Obama EPA has estimated that this regulation alone will cost the U.S. economy $10.9 billion a year.

The failure in his policies, the statements that he would bankrupt anyone trying to build a coal plant, the   ruthless regulatory environment all makes for an economic failure model.  The environmentalist agenda has been in clear ascendancy, with growing clarity that its the wrong path.  This is one promise he has kept.  He told you he would make your energy bill skyrocket, and he has.

3) Corruption and Cronyism
Green-jobs subsidies bust: $21 billion, 28,854 jobs

Speaking of which, the IRS has asked a federal judge to intervene to stop Solyndra’s bankruptcy plan.  They claim that the company is nothing more than a tax dodge for its major investors — including 2008 Obama bundler George Kaiser.

Another Obama green-subsidy recipient under criminal investigation

“These are solar panels we are now seeing reports that said they worked as long as you didn’t put them in the sun,” said Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo. “Now the question is did the (Department of Energy) — did they know something that the rest of should have known? Did Abound not tell the DOE something? These are questions that need to be answered.”

The Fast and Furious scandal.

There are too many of these to list them all.

4) Economy
While he continues to blame George W. Bush for everything wrong with the economy Barack Obama has been presiding over for 4 years, Obama admits he is bad at math.  I would submit he is too unskilled to be able to be allowed to continue attempting to to restore an economy he has demonstrated no ability to understand.


Doing the math: Obama recovery still the worst in decades

In fact, an October 2011 paper by the Atlanta Fed concluded that “U.S. history provides no support for linking low employment and high unemployment in the current recovery with the financial crisis of 2007—2008.”

One Final Point
And lest one might be tempted to ignore all presented so far, look to one of Barack Obama's biggest supporter blocks from 2008.  They have realized the failure of the last four years for young people in school and those starting out on building their lives.

STUDENTS FOR OBAMA: 'OBAMA DOESN'T DESERVE FOUR MORE YEARS'

In the past four years, we have changed. We once supported President Obama. Obama made many good promises. Obama seemed non-partisan and willing to bring about change. He was charismatic. We were excited to see what would come of his administration. Sadly, Obama has failed us, instituting policies that have negatively affected us.

If that's not enough...
If you remain unconvinced still, then there is the massive compendium of 100 reasons available from Hugh Hewitt.   Hewitt spends the entire 3 hours carefully going over his 100 reasons to vote for Mitt Romney or against President Obama.  Some of the reasons are positives (if elected, Mitt Romney will do such-and-such), many are negative (Obama has failed at x, y, and z, he has not made good on promises a, b, and c, etc).

Study the issues well, and remember to vote on Tuesday Nov 6th
