My response to Politico's Arena Question of the Day:

Should Obama hit the reset button on the White House? If so, where might he find it?

One has to look at this from President Obama's perspective and then ask the question can I transform this country sufficiently through legislation and the application of regulatory power to meet the expectations of a growing electorate whose interests rest in redistribution of wealth and the provision of services by the central government? If so, these results, and not the creation of jobs in the private sector, will be the foundation upon which I base my next election and my legacy.

The only other alternative is for him to embrace long term tax cuts to encourage private sector investment and job creation. This approach would reward private enterprise and undermine the tax policy that he believes will fuel big government largess and his legacy of "change you can believe in" would be destroyed.

Obama is willing to run the risk that his policies of redistributive wealth, greater government control and provision of basic social services will win the day and appeal to a growing number of people, and with immigration reform growing faster, who want these rewards more than they ever wanted jobs.

I am a private citizen and I am not being paid to contribute this opinion.

Lou Dobbs for President?

I now support a proposal that only a few months ago I would have thought silly and illogical; vote everyone out of office. I mean as a matter of policy and just for drill, vote every incumbent up for election out of office and continue to do that until every politician now serving in every level of government is gone. And then just let newly elected public servants serve one or two term maximum. And not though term limits but by the conscious determination of each voter in each election.

Why? To send a clear, unambiguous message that "we the people" run this country and that the term "public servant" takes on the truer meaning of servant.

If Lew Dobbs runs with that as one of his platforms I will dedicate my time and money to his campaign. I don't know a lot about him, but enough to justify his service for at least one term as a better alternative to any and every current serving politician.

The scene going on now in Washington is "not watching sausage made", its watching baby bunnies beaten with a baseball bats. It is ugly, criminal, bribery using taxer payer taxes by one politician to bribe another. And it is done in daylight, bragged about on the Senate floor with impunity. All this as the American dream floats out to sea is sunk overladen with debt.

Send all these offspring of dogs home.
