The Campaign Train Just Keeps a Chuggin’ All Night Long


We are a little more than a month past the last Presidential election that ended with Obama’s re-election to the top office of the land but you wouldn't know it as both sides of the idiot coin are still chugging along aboard their perspective campaign trains. Making it feel that somehow 2016 is just around the corner as we find both Marc Rubio & Paul Ryan hitting the pulpit over the weekend trying to fix the problems & image of the mundane message of the Republican party. To somehow make it more viable and appealing in to today’s political climate. Not to be out done on any accounts, you could also find the Democrats all over TV as well, as they hit the Sunday Morning politico shows touting their hopes & dreams of a Hilary Clinton Presidential run. Even one going as far as saying how they don’t even want a primary if she runs. That he was willing to just give her the nomination. I wish they thought that way back in ’08. While I was no fan of the Clinton Presidency I would surely take Hilary over old dufus ears that we have now.

Obama is for once solely and truthfully to blame (I know the right loves to blame all the country’s woes upon him the same way he and his Party have blamed all the woes of the country on Bush) for this new style of election & campaigning. Obama has shown us the way of how if you want success then you have to keep hitting the populace with some type of message continuously. To the point where this is how elections will more-than-likely will be from now on with how he finely crafted victory for a second term. You see, Obama’s main re-election format was to never stop campaigning. Hell, he even kept most of his campaign offices open and staffed during his first term in the so-called “battle ground“ states. Canvassing areas and neighborhoods with material for his presidency. I mean how do combat that? How does a candidate try to out do 4 years worth of phone calls and volunteers knocking on the door of much coveted voters? So now we will see more of this in places like Ohio, Nevada, and Florida. Hell, we are all ready seeing it on a national level now with that nicely produced video for Hilary Clinton’s farewell that has been running on all the news media. Especially the section that has both Netanyahu & former British PM, Tony Blair saying that they think the best is yet to come.

Unfortunately, when we come back to the here & now we still find Obama on the campaign trail. I guess he never got the memo on how he won and that he can not have a third term and it is time to be a real leader.
