The current campaign for president by Barack Obama is the worst I can recall. No campaign has ever been this dishonest or disgusting. Lie after lie has been thrown on the air by Obama in an effort to make Romney look like a cross between Jack the Ripper and Dr. Evil. The guiding priciple of the campaign seems clear: the ends justify the means. We have seen such principles in the world in the past. America fought World War II to prevent such views from prevailing in the world. Then we fought a forty year cold war again to stop such views from prevailing. That the president of the United States would adopt such a policy in order to get re-elected is so repugnant to the values and traditions of America that the disgust that most people feel about this is overwhelming.
There easily could have been a debate about policy. Some folks want the government to do more. Some do not. Some folks want to raise taxes the way Obama wants. Others do not. Some want a government controlled market to run the economy. Others want a free market. Obama could and should have presented America with his ideas for the future and let the people decide. Instead, Obama tells us nothing of his plans for a second term (if he has any) and instead spends hundreds of millions of dollars throwing out lies against Romney.
Obama does not deserve to be president. There just is no other sane conclusion.

Bush started a war to get re-elected. I think I know which method I prefer.
