Daily Recap 11/6/12: Good Sportsmanship!: President Obama In Topeka KS

Daily Recap 11/6/12: Good Sportsmanship: President Obama Born In Topeka KS:
Rested most of day. Not much activity today, but of course the election was the focus. The results may still be in dispute as it was in 2000, but it appears that President OObama is in for another 4 years at the point I write this.
ANALYSIS: This was the republican party's too lose at the presidential level. For moths, I've been trying to get any one who would listen to stick to the issues and job performance of President Obama and whether someone else could do better.
Many, like me, thought whoever got in  the path for the USA is so tied to international interests that either one probably might not make that much difference as the major problems of wars and economy had all the basic s of life for each to have to survive is gong to have to be solved in some fashion.
First the Republicans got hateful and  treated and honorable man who loved his country with awful disrespect just because his views were not quite modern day main stream, but he was asking the right u\questionsand everyone knew it. Where is our money? Now other nations are asking where is our Gold? Congressman Ron Paul should have been treated with dignity and respect and he was not and that was the first turning point to defeat as American just are not raised to treat each other that way. we are taught to have good sportsmanship. from our earliest age, we compete in sports and all other kinds of competition and someone wins ands the others congratulate the winner and to gossip and be hateful is not considered a good thing to do.
Then, there was a campaign strategy to get President Obama off the ballots by trying to prove he was not born in the USA. The Main media knew there was Truth out there and they did not follow it to Kansas where he was born, even if he is  or was not aware of it himself. One of the biggest stores of this campaign is the media not following the TRUTH and getting to the bottom of it. The gossip and rumors and speculation got worse and worse with comments and even pictures of his mother being smeared all over the web. The TRUTH is a very American story of the era when he was born.
After trying for over a year to get the birther groups to spend some of their money and go get the records out of Topeka and speak to witnesses, etc. It became obvious that big money seemed to be  being given only to prove a Non USA birth, etc. No one would even get a legal expert on to discuss obvious things like an adoption by an Indonesian does not mean one has given up citizenship, for example and the marriage to Obama Sr and the death of the real Dad before that before birth, in most states rebuts the presumption of the husband being the father. It does raise some issues that maybe Congress, maybe should clarify so this never happens again. To have these issues come up on eligibility.  I still ask the question: Does every Secretary of State   able to now access each others birth  and other records and that many do know the truth and no one has ever presented proof that the president ever  knew he was not born in Hawaii\ I know as of 1/71 i was stopped form saying anything to him about it..
There is a world wide web of information sharing and how many with direct knowledge form Topeka KS spread the word of what they knew. Not just me trying to get the truth out. and get us back o the issues and job performance.
When Mitt Romney, himself, made it a campaign issue    it caused the real search to get to the truth. Even though some serious issues were being raised, it was often in the same vein  gossip, innuendo and hatred and not being presented as a clear serous debate.. Films and movies were made that were inflammatory and filled with half truths and even false info. No one ever asked the president did you know of your birth in Topeka Ks and when did you know it? The more they did n't the more people did understand the situation and those spreading the gossip only made perception of Mitt worse. Gossip is not good sportsmanship.
Most of Americans grew up in a faith that stated if you have a problem with someone, you go ask them directly. Not one news media person ever asked about other records show a birth in another state. A lot of big money was spent on both sides and many seemed to have a lot at stake, internationally and for their own wealth and power. They lost sight of the fact that they were being to obvious and Americans were not fooled by it.
The Republican base has voted based on moral issues of abortion and marriage for many years, but even that got into the 'wierd.' and it swayed many over to the  President as some began to speak almost vindictively instead of showing compassion for those in awful situations and Americans do not want to be hateful, its not us. Apparently , the few that came out with some of this apparently got defeated. But they may have aided in the defeat of Mitt Romney who historically was considered a more moderate on some of these issues.
BUT: YOU DO NOT TELL SOMEONE YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING.  This nation has gone through a lot in the last 250 years in a search for Freedom and rights for all.  We even fought a bloody civil war in the 1800's and 50 years ago we finally got to the point where everyone could participate in the process of governing starting with the basic right to vote. VOTER SUPPRESSION BACKFIRED! Again the illogical laws that got passed were too obvious. You don't have a drivers license, because you are a Senior citizen and never had one? yet you receive asocial security check. Again the Main media never asked the questions when this all started at the state levels in legislatures. When one files for their social security checks, we    make a federal decision on citizenship and age. Plus we have to know at SSA where to send your check and letters, etc. don't we. All that would be needed  is a letter from SSA to verify all those issues. Picture ID? Might be helpful, but who thinks  the picture on ones drivers license looks like themselves any way? When an organization takes your picture and says they know you as as person with a certain name, that is testimony that added to ones letter from SSA, should suffice if there is real concern about no one voting that should not be.
50 years ago people walked the highways and back roads to give everyone the right to vote. Today and in the past weeks, people took to the streets and stood in lines for hours to exercise that right. We, Americans , get it. Its not who you vote for, its your right to do so and voting shows that we the people still hold the power in this nation.
This itself was pretty well covered in the media and no one misunderstood what was happening as we went form making it almost too easy to vote, to trying to making it difficult to do so.
All of this added to a tearing down of the image of Mitt Romney.  He already had a problem in not seeming to be; 'one of us.' As few of us have the kind of wealth he does. But instead of being able to portray an image of a benevolent person who wanted serve and help others, all the above issues only made him look more UNLIKE us.. I don't know Mitt Romney personally, but obviously he has some financial ability to solve economic problems. Instead the image portrayed was of someone who would NOT be helpful to the average person who is struggling in the current economic situation. The IMAGE was just the opposite of whom any one could trust to not do more harm to themselves and families personally.As if the rich were only going to get richer from the work and subservience of the average person.
The MIDDLE CLASS  is just about tapped out from supporting both  the wealthy and the poor. Our perception is that the monies given to the wealthy far exceeds the small amounts given to the poor.
WE DON'T LIKE HOMELESSNESS and HUNGRY CHILDREN!  Traditionally, the perception is that the MIDDLE CLASS is Charitable and the wealthy are acting greedy. That did not used to be in this country. Do we need to reinstate those charitable contributions so the wealth can lower their tax rates by helping others more? Maybe our perceptions would then change and it would be easier for a rich man to get elected?
So, we wait to find out the final total on the election. Everyone seemed to think this was going  to be a landslide for Mitt. 'Everyone' seemed to think the President's job performance was terrible, and hated the new health care law. But no one was coming up with a better plan or how to fix what we do have in place. A few simple laws could fix the problems like making all those govt contractors subject to the same laws as everyone else. and subject to internal audit control. Back to What Ron Paul has always  asked: where's our money?
Even speculation went around about religion. But no one asked exactly what did he believe? A sign on the front of a place of worship, doesn't reflect what ones personal belife and philosophy is which can reflect on how one leads and governs. . We got  generic and inflammatory labels. I wish to speak to more of this in depth in future writings. as even Christians don't have the same understanding of concepts, one reason we have so many differnt sects even in Christianity. And blends of various religions into a personal understanding sometimes without recognizing this.
PRESIDENT OBAMA BORN IN TOPEKA KS:  This has been a diversion into the above analysis.My prayer is that for the 'general welfare of each and the nation; the losers will be good sports and the winners will be gracious and work with the losing side to try and accommodate some of theirr concerns in some way. We are not all going to agree on some issues. We need to focus on those problems we know we have and how to solve. them. otherwise we are at an impasse, as bad as I'm personally  in with some govt agencies breaking the laws, Judges orders and constitutional rights for far too long. We don't need a lot of laws, but we do need to enforce the ones we do have. Too many , like me, have been victims of blatant crimes for far too long and the system needs to be changed to stop criminal behavior that cost lives, physical health and livelihood of those the law guarantees rights of life.Didn't the Republicans understand that the Teri Schiavo law they passed with no controversy was giving everyone the right to choose to live and the govt the right to help  if its being denied. That's the basics of life, like food, shelter,and health care. TOMORROW
