What does "middle out" mean?

With only forty-one days left in the election I'm sure everyone has pretty much made up their mind on how they will vote in November. In fact, rather than attempt to persuade any liberal progressive Democrat to vote for Governor Romney, I would like to ask those that follow the incumbent Mr. Obama a few questions.

This has nothing to do with Governor Romney. I'm not even going to argue who is going to lead us out of the economic crisis we're facing now. I really only know of two votes for sure; my wife and I.  With six children and nine grandchildren we aren't brave enough to give Mr. Obama another four years.

First things first....will someone that wants Mr. Obama reelected please explain his phrase, "we have to grow our economy from the middle out".  What does Mr. Obama mean exactly by that term?  Come on now you strong Obama supporters explain that to me. Forget about personal attacks on Governor Romney. I already know how you feel about him. Just some facts OK?

Just focus on the incumbent Mr. Obama, and explain to this old man just what "middle out" means. I know it would be wonderful to pass out free health care, free welfare with little or no restrictions, extended unemployment for five, even ten years, all home mortgages paid in full, all college loans dismissed. Heck, I'd even like to see free food for everyone for years, and a new car in every garage. That would be great right? I knew you'd agree with me.

I have another question OK?  Who is going to pay for all this? Now before you retort to me that we need to raise taxes on the rich, please get a calculator out and do the math. If you take all, yes 100% of all income from anyone making $200,000. a year you could only run our government for eight days. I don't think that's going to sustain our country...do you?

I'm the first one to admit the incumbent Mr. Obama is a great speaker, is cool and hip, and could probably sell sand to Arabs, and ice in Alaska. He's got all the media support he wants, and the skewed polls show him in the lead in swing states.  He sure scores way up there on likeability.

Here's another question; what has Mr. Obama done in his first term that you would like him to repeat? By the way, let me insert a pure fact here. General Motors is not back as Veep Biden has been spewing out in his campaign speeches. In fact GM owes taxpayers $27.1 billion, and the heavily touted Chevy Volt has stopped production, along with the bailed out battery  manufacturer. 

As for bin Laden's demise, it's not Mr. Obama that deserves the credit. It's Secretary Panetta who gave the final go ahead to the Navy Seals.

In the world of capitalism there are winners and losers, that's true. But what is also true is that all Americans have a God-given right to compete to achieve their dreams through had work, perseverance, and dedication. We all know this cannot be accomplished with government growing by "sharing the wealth".  Mr. Obama has been talking up Socialism with his mantra of "sharing the wealth" since 1998.

It's clear that Mr. Obama is definitely more concerned about his reelection than he is about the future of the American people. The latest facts will most assuredly support this. The day Ambassador Stevens was dragged though the streets of Libya and slaughtered along with three other Americans, where was Mr. Obama? On a plane to Nevada for a fund raiser.

Then he followed up with appearances on the Letterman and Leno shows, with a fund raiser at Jay-Z's and Beyonce's restaurant, and let's not forget his radio interview with the Pimp with a limp. Will someone, anyone, explain to me why he went to see the ladies of The View rather than meet with other world leaders at the NATO summit. You think maybe he'd rather stand in front of his cheering followers than do the job of the American people at the NATO summit?

Mr. Obama feels it's OK to skip out on his UN meeting obligations, and then just show up with a flowery speech reading the teleprompter, and all will be OK. No Mr. Obama we expect more of you than a cool and hip speech. America needs a leader, not a Teflon-in-chief.

Forty one days left folks...think about what Mr. Obama has done these past four years, and then think very strongly if you want him to repeat the same thing again for four more years.

And that's Politics with Pete for today......God bless our country....and our troops.
