Five Reasons You Should Vote For Obama In 2012
Posted on August 9, 2011 in Articles
From the country nearly defaulting to the shooting of House Representative Gabrielle Giffords, it seems like American politics can’t get any more insane than the events of 2011. Well, prepare for the crazy-gauge to get cranked up to 11 because we’re about to enter into a Presidential election year. In the previous election, we got unending shrieks about Obama’s heritage, the typical fear-mongering surrounding terrorists and homosexuality, and Sarah Palin almost made it to within a heartbeat of the presidency if American didn’t vote for Obama in 2008.
As we approach what will undoubtedly be one of the most shrill and frustrating deaths that logic and reasonable debate have faced, it makes sense to pause and reconsider exactly what we’re looking for in a presidential candidate. Republicans, demonstrating their endless ability to make perfect the enemy of good, have failed to become excited by any of the current candidates. On the other side of the aisle, liberals have been displaying quite a bit of disappointment with Hopey McImpossibleStandards Obama.
Liberals are in a slightly better position, having an inspiring, capable candidate with years of proven experience who can still totally make us cry sometimes. I can’t speak for every Democrat, centrist or disillusioned Republican, but I think Barry O deserves another 4 years, and here are the top five reasons why you should vote for Obama in 2012:

Keynes vs Hayek

A cute little video, even if it seems to strawman Keynes a bit. For those of you not familiar with Hayek, here is a wikipedia article. He basically was one of the founders of the laissez-faire Austrian school now commonly associated with Ron Paul and the libertarian bunch. At the same time, he also wrote “probably nothing has done so much harm to the liberal cause as the wooden insistence of some liberals on certain rules of thumb, above all of the principle of laissez-faire capitalism.” According to Wikipedia, there is a term for the kind of limited governmental interference into the market, and that is ordoliberalism. Basically in ordoliberalism, the government’s role is to set the rules by which the market can operate, and those rules should be designed to encourage competition.
