Last election I voted for Obama. I remember a lot of my friends freaked out on me. I tried to assure them that Obama would appeal to them, the rich, because in the end thats who lines his pockets. The biggest scare was that Obama would not continue President Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy.
But, as I predicted, he did. He also continued other GW's policies. I especially liked the "smoke em out" reference when we assassinated Bin Laden. Very GW'esq.
The Obama's camp was such great story tellers that they actually had people convinced that they would not need a job and we would have free houses for all.
Exhibit A:
Obama care has made insurance companies report record profits. Wait wasn't it supposed to level the playing field? Instead it has companies like me scrambling to get a plan in place before Obama care kicks in and I am forced to pay into the government plan.
But now that we have had 3 years of reality and a diving unemployment rate, can Obama once again rally support?
BTW I voted for Obama. The United States needed BADLY to fix foreign image. Obama was masterful at brainwashing convincing people that I knew he would do a good job. And he did. Obama is a masterful storyteller. Which is of course the key component to a successful marketer.
Now most people will get lost in arguing politics this fall... and thats fine. I will be watching the Obama camp to see if they can pull off another masterful campaign.
What do you think?
