A Landslide Victory for President Barack Obama. This is a Center-Left Nation.

332 Electoral Votes. 3 Million more Popular Votes and rising. Ohio, Virginia, Florida and all the other true battleground states. Five of the last Six Presidential Elections have been won by Democrats.

This is a Liberal Country. A Center-Left Nation.

We need to hammer that home to every day to combat the lies of Faux News and Toxic Conservative Radio, which will work to undo the clear liberal mandate handed to President Obama.

But, President Obama faces big challenges now.

First up is Sequestration and the "Fiscal Cliff". Centrists and Republicans will demand Austerity and point to the big divide in the American populace as necessitating The Grand Bargain.

The American People just overwhelmingly rejected The Ryan Buget and the politics of Austerity. We are tired of 30 years of the Republican Economic model of Pissing Down Our Back and Telling Us it's Raining Prosperity. This is a clear mandate to eliminate the Bush Tax Cuts and Reaganomics.

We said No to the Right-Wing model and President Obama needs to say No. The President doesn't need to move halfway to meet the Republicans.

The Grand Bargain is giant screw-job for the Poor and Middle Class. We need to resist, resist, resist. No  cuts to Medicare, No reductions to Medicaid, No stealing Social Security for degenerate Wall Street gamblers to flinch.

We need tighter and further regulations on Wall Street. We need to re-empower the SEC. We need to readopt a Financial Transaction Tax to curb the rampant speculation and Hedge Fund gambling associated with Wall Street. President Obama needs to stand next to Senator Elizabeth Warren as she battles for the American People against the Vultures.

The American people did not vote for cuts they voted for much higher Taxes on Millionaires and Billionaires, the elimination of tax subsidies to Oil Conglomerates, effective collection of taxes on Giant Corporate tax cheats, and fair taxes on Capital Gains and Income made by investments.

We need to impose tariffs on foreign made crap, let's make IPhones here in the United States,  and punish the Wal Marts and Bain Capital which make money drowning the American manufacturing base and off-shoring jobs.

The Housing Market is still a shambles. Getting out from under the rubble of the Bush Housing Bubble and Republican Recession is going to take time. Austan Goolsebee stated, we have 5 million vacant houses and $700 Billion in negative housing equity. Housing is huge problem.

Next is getting us out of Afghanistan and actually Reducing our Foreign Empire and bloated Warmonger Budget. We need to close bases around the world, we need to scrap wasteful spending on a blue water Navy, we need push to reduce the Drone Campaign. We need to cut the fraud, waste and abuse of the DoD by $500 Billion.

Our involvement in Libya needs to be questioned. And I don't mean Benghazi. Benghazi and Libya are part of a Covert CIA Operation. Republicans aren't going to delve too deeply into it because the more they expose in their baseless partisan witch hunt the more blowback they will create for US abroad and for Republicans within the Intelligence Community.

But, Congress does need to step up and take back control of Military involvement overseas. This is a huge problem as Presidents have expanded their control and played word games to get around the power to declare War invested in the Congress. But, this Congress and previous ones are also culpable because of the Trillions they've given to profligate warmongers and because they are afraid to stop paying to the DoD and Pentagon.

Right now is a time to take a few celebratory victory breathes. Unfortunately, there is a lot of work to get America going away from the policies which aid only the Wealthy and Powerful and make this a country reflect the Liberal Ideas that the American people hold.

Update:
This rejection of the Right-Wing went further than just President Obama's landslide. Republicans Richard Mourdock, Todd Akin, Tommy Thompson, Denny Rehnberg were all decisively defeated in the Senate. Elizabeth Warren trounced Tea Party darling Scott Brown. Two of the biggest incendarity Republican bomb throwers, Allen West and Joe Walsh, were kicked out of the House. While the straight talking Alan Grayson was voted back in by a 2-1 margain.

The GOP 2012 Platform: We Built This! Using Government Funds!

Another glaring act of Right-Wing Hypocrisy in 2012 has centered around President Obama's powerful speech which sought to bring Americans together around the esprit de corps of the American ideal of the shared burden and sacrifice,

“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that,” Obama said. “Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet, so then all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.”

As is their wont Republicans seized upon the President's words to divide the American People. Because the GOP places Party over Country and Profits over People every single time.

Even today a month later Mitt Romney is walking around Iowa claiming, President Obama thinks he's sooooooo great and that you didn't build it!

The sad, completely dishonest and shockingly myopic quailty of those suckered in by the flim-flam snake oil selling Romney and the Republican Party is highlighted by the venue the GOP choose for their WE BUILT THIS Convention.

The GOP Convention is going to be held in the Tampa Bay Times Forum Arena, which was heavily subsidized with tax-payer money. $86 million (62%) of the initial $139 million was tax-payer welfare. Just like Hank Steinbrenner and the Hundreds of Millions of welfare he received for Yankee Stadium III and the $300 million in welfare the billionaire Rickett's Family wants to re-build Wrigley Field.

Now the Republicans don't care because they know their stubbornly stupid, blantantly racist, battered and duped voting base doesn't care to know facts or simply side-steps the cognitive dissonance associated with being a moocher by ignorning or justifying their actions.

Jack Gilchrist, a businessman who stars in the "On His Own" ad for Republican presidential candidate Mitt R-Money, claimed in his ad:

“My father’s hands didn’t build this company? My hands didn’t build this company? My son’s hands aren’t building this company?”

Of course, Jack Gilchrist conveinently fails to mention he's taken over $1.5 million in government loans since the 1980s, including $800,000 in tax-exempt bonds issued by the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority to build a new manufacturing plant and buy equipment.

Gilchrist also received a U.S. Small Business Administration loan of around $500,000 in the 1980s, and said that to this day about 10 percent of his business comes from defense-related projects.

Iowan Farmers receive millions in farm subsidizes every year from the Government. But, this can easily be rationalized. It's never Socialism when you're receiving Government Money it's only when those other people do!

UI political-science Associate Professor Tim Hagle said of the "You didn't build that", “It struck a nerve among the small business community and fit right in with the message that Republicans are trying to portray [during this election].”

So, this is going to be the theme of the Republicans in 2012. They are going to play to the rationalization aspects of their voters and massage their egos. Two-faced, Hypocrisy, Shameless Lying, Rationalization core components of the Republican Party.

Barack Obama already ranks among the Greatest US Presidents

President Obama has been one of the best Presidents America has ever had. After Barack wins re-election in 2012 his second term will cement him in the Upper Echelon. Having Barack Obama as Our President makes me proud to be an American again.

To think of the destruction Obama was handed from the Worst President In US History George W. Bush and then having to face the Second Civil War as the Republicons in Congress made their Only Stated Policy Goal of 'making him a One-Term President'

But, even facing the daily lies from Faux News, the destructive anti-American policies of the Punk-Ass GOP, the smears from Right-Wing funded think tanks and the blubbering of ponderous Toxic Right Wing Radio Commentators declaring "I Want Him to Fail." President Obama arrested the collapse of the Nation and set us upon the Path towards a more perfect, equitable Union.

It won't be easy to create a Better America. The Republicon Congress has no intention of helping America. For 3 years the Right-Wing has been harming America and hurting Americans in an Campaign to Blame Barack for their torching of the Country. The Evil Stain on the Nation, that Party of Bigots and Thieves, the GOP will stop at nothing to beat down the People and serve their Plutocratic Masters.

Additionally, the Alternate Reality sewn in the minds of the duped and ignorant rubes who vote for Republicons is working. Self conditioning Right-wing bloggers, who've absorbed so much propaganda, continue to furiously try to downplay the Massive Achievements of Barack Obama the Great.

The State of the Union Address was Epic. Obama covered many of the things, but not all, we Liberals wanted to hear. It's a repudiation of Conservative Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Prosperity Reaganomics. Obama's call for the Government to step up and reign in the murderous Oil Companies, the greedy and viscous Hedge Fund Vultures, to create a sensible economic policy, a return to investing in American jobs, and an end to the Era of the Greedy 1% served notice.

More needs to be done after Obama's Victory in 2012. An End to the Phony War on Terror, especially in Afghanistan but also the drone attacks in and around HOA, a solution to Gitmo, higher taxes on Thieving Disaster Capitalists, a transaction tax on Wall Street, a Single-Payer Medicare Option for All and more. But once we Liberals Stand Behind Our President and get him re-elected the Sun will again Shine on America the Beautiful.

The fantastic David Corn over at Mother Jones writes Obama's SOTU,

With this speech, Obama forcefully presented a view of the nation and the tasks at hand that positioned him as a can-do, patriotic, forward-looking optimist against obstructionist Republicans with a dark take on the nation's prospects. He pitched government policies that would bolster middle-class security: job-training programs, tax credits for college tuition and repatriating jobs to the United States, mortgage refinancing, research-and-development spending, and measures to boost domestic manufacturing. "Take the money we're no longer spending at war," he declared, "use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the rest to do some nation-building right here at home."

Due to this shift, the 2012 race is shaping up as a titanic face-off between a president who advocates using government to bolster the economy and address inequities and Republicans who have one answer to everything: Smother government and let the markets run free. In his speech, Obama called for "great projects." Republicans call for no projects—that is, nothing outside the private sector. This is a damn clear contrast.

Damn Clear contrast David and a damn clear choice, Barack Obama the Great or a Republicon slug.

13.9 Mitt Romney's tax rate is also the Percentage of votes he'll receive in 2012

Poor Unemployed Mitt Romney released his 2010 tax return which showed he paid $3 Million in taxes for the $21.6 Million he reported in income. Coincidentally, 14%, about 45 million votes, is roughly the number of Americans who would choose Mitt Romney for President.

On the Other Hand, in 2008 Barack Obama garnered 67 million popular votes in 2008 and in 2012 if his opponent is Out-of-Touch Vulture Romney or Three gods/Three wives Newt Gingrich, President Obama will earn 100 million popular votes.

Mitt Romney, probably has no idea what hit him this year. Having lived a life of ease and comfort, effortlessly sliding back-and-forth between work as the Disaster Capitalist at Bain Capital and Government Romney no doubt expected to be able to buy the Presidency and reward his family, cronies and Corporate criminal allies with huge amounts of stolen taxpayer dollars.

But, as the country and American people struggle to overcome the damage wrought by President Bush and the Republicon Recession people became aware the Trickle Down Financial System and American Capitalism is rigged against them. It is a system rigged to aid the 1% and their marionettes in the Government. While the 99% only feel the trickle of the Piss Down Our Backs from the 1%.
