Obama's Unique Selling Proposition


Anyone with a Business, sales, or marketing background understands the unique selling proposition. It is the Unique feature of your product that will make customers choose yours, over your competitors.

That having been said, So far, The USP of Obama's campaign has been;

1.) He was to incompetent to fix the economy.

Obama has illustrated this with a steady stream of blame shifting, responsibility evasions. 53 "economic stimulus" bills passed, all utter failures. Endless speeches, very little constructive action.

2.) I have been powerless.(read weak)

This comes to us through endless blame Bush claims over the last 4 years. This lone man, who the left demonized as an idiot, led by the nose by the dreaded Neo-Cons, was SO powerful that even four years after leaving office he prevents Obama from passing legislation, fixing the economy, creating jobs, trimming the debt and deficit. During four years of chopping cedar on his ranch in Texas, he effortlessly thwarts the will of the Messiah, the smartest, most eloquent man ever to occupy the White House.

3.) I lack knowledge and experience.

This is evident in his foreign policy failures. His dumping of a cowardly bully dictator in Libya to usher in Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. His standing by and doing nothing while watching our ambassador and three others die a horrible death, unavenged. And you wonder why the Muslim Brotherhood and AlQeada thinks America to weak to punish them for their actions.

4.) I am lazy.

We get this from the FACTS that he has attended less than HALF his intelligence briefings, he has not met with his Jobs council for 9 months, He has not met with his cabinet for 13 months. From his comments about debate prep being a drag. Claims from others about his comments of "knowing more" than those advising him.

He has run a campaign refusing to acknowledge or accept responsibility to his own policy failures, or to lay out a detailed plan for his second term, all the while demonizing Romney for a daily changing slate of imagined perfidities.

THIS IS NOT A RESUME YOU REHIRE!

Deconstructing Obama's $5 trillion Lie


This claim came from the Liberal Tax Policy Center. They fell into the same governmental  economist trap of static math. They ignored history.

Economics is about incentives. Change the incentives, and you change the revenue stream. In 1921, at the urging of Andrew Mellon, President Harding lowered the tax rate on incomes over $100,000. In 1921 the rate was 73%, the government collected $700 million. 30% of which was paid by these rich. AFTER lowering the rate to 24% on incomes over $100k, they collected $1.1 billion, 65% of which were paid by these rich. This pattern was repeated in the '60's, '80's, and 2000's. Yet IGNORED by the left.

They prefer to think that a 10% cut, removes 10% form the revenue, ignoring that the lower rate leaves more money in the hands of people who will spend it, invest it, create jobs, broaden the tax base, resulting in more taxpayers paying more income. Even for the rich, it incentivizes them to remove money form non productive tax shelters and invest it in productive activity, resulting in more income, more taxpayers, and higher tax revenues, not  to mention a higher share of those taxes being paid by the very rich that saw their rate cut.
