I don’t know what to make of the 1st Presidential debate, of Obama’s performance or Romney’s. If 90 minutes can change the poll numbers as much as they seem to have then that tells me that Obama’s numbers, when he was ahead in the polls pre-debate, were very soft and Romney’s pre-debate poll numbers were ready to explode as soon as Obama screwed up.

Read through my blog for the past 4 years and you will find criticism as well as praise for Obama. But I never doubted the fact that he wanted the Presidency and I never doubted that I wanted him to win a second term. So I have no theory about why Obama acted as he did in the 1st debate. I am not impressed by Romney because he changes his positions with the passion of the political winds. And also because he will take us back to the wanton days of George W. Bush and if that happens then the American people deserve every thing he brings down on their heads. Billionaires are being mistreated, don’t forget that. They are whining and moaning. Just listen.

Elections have consequences bigger than the candidates. It’s as simple as that.

With $$$ pouring in from corporations and the whining billionaires, rest assured that your vote for Obama will count for something, at least during the next cycle. If Romney wins all bets are off. Voter suppression, gay rights, women’s rights, middle class survival will vanish as the moneyed rule the day - the peak of the pyramid will rule the rest of the pyramid - we will fight in their wars and pay for their extravagances. Vote like a billionaire if you must then kiss your $$$ goodbye.

And welcome yourself to the new America.
