The US Presidential nominee ..

Of the 5 or 6 Republicans vying for a chance to become a presidential nominee in the US 2012 presidential election, none in my book, looks good enough to stand out as a brilliant candidate to win against Obama, not that Obama is a good president, though, back in 2008, I must admit that he was a brilliant presidential nominee.

All of them, except one, represent a type of nominee that I call the "God Bless America" type. For want of a policy to handle pressing issues that plague US today, like debts, deficits and unemployment, to name only a few, these candidates interspersed their debates with what look like "GBA" utterances. There were no concrete proposals. There were no ideas. Ron Paul, at least, has the guts to say what and how he intends to do should he become president. The rest, like Romney and Gingrich, Rick Perry and Santorum are uttering rhetorics. They don't look that smart either, like a Kennedy or a Clinton (Hillary, that is). If Obama retains his presidency, it's because he wins it by default since none of the GOP nominee is good enough (only slightly better than Sarah Palin) to be a President.

Obama has not been able to resolve the debts and deficit issues and the problems in the Middle-East. He is the Uncle-Tom nigger that dares not do what he believes in for fear of offending the all-white neocons in Washington. He is archetype of the house negro that says "Yes Suh" to his white masters in the White House. There's nothing original in what he says and what he does. He merely perpetuates the policies of George Bush and those of other past presidents.

If Obama exhibits neutral stance towards Iran, he runs the risk of losing funding from the Jewish lobby and thus, possibly, his presidency. The Jewish lobby can, at anytime, switch to any Republican candidate that seems to be friendly towards Israel or unfriendly to Iran. Like Harry S. Truman who sacrificed his idealistic views to Jewish lobby for an Israeli State, Obama would rather commit acts of aggression on any Middle-East country in order to placate Israel. He and the others never question the existence of nuclear devices in Israel but become panicky to hear about Iran's "capability to make nuclear weapons", whatever that means.

If the GOP nominees want to be popular among the zionist neocons, all they need do is to say something in support of the Jewish diaspora. Lo and behold, they will get donations from the many Jewish establishment from Hollywood to New York and from Miami to Chicago. And for added measure, all they need do is beat the war drums against the current bogeyman that is now Iran.
