The Washington Post-ABC Poll Confirms the American Electorate is being Manipulated
It is very sad to watch – as an immigrant from Cuba – where all freedoms were lost on account of false propaganda and political manipulation, to watch how the American electorate is about to be deceived by political manipulation.
The Washington Post-ABC poll – just released before the second 2012 Presidential debate – claims “Voters rate Obama as more honest and trustworthy with 55 percent saying he has those qualities to 41 who disagree.” Is the American Electorate being deceived? You bet it is!
Spanish-born American philosopher, George Santayana, once said: “Those who do not learn from history are doomed…” If I were you, regardless of your Party affiliation, I would be very concerned and would be willing to consider the facts on this Opinion before you vote in November.
The deceptions and falsehoods being used, by the Obama Campaign by referencing alleged ‘cooked’ statistics, for example, to give the impression that our nation is “Moving Forward” are extremely disturbing. The subject was first brought to national attention by an OP-ED from former GE Chairman and prominent business consultant Jack Welsh who had recently claimed, “The economy would need to be growing at breakneck speed for unemployment to drop to 7.8% from 8.3% in the course of two months.”
But that is not all. The latest Contracting Results data released by the Obama Administration, reported as facts by the mainstream media, prompted many of my small business advocacy colleagues to urge me to speak up in defense of the statutory rights granted small businesses by P.L. 95-507. Those rights, frankly, have been ignored by the Obama Administration.
The Umbrella Initiative Think Tank has been addressing alleged ‘cooked’ contracting data on the SBA Report Card, and the decision by the Obama Administration to avoid addressing BARRIERS affecting small businesses, and not support the U.S. House approved legislation, to reform public procurement, a $600 Billion Federal marketplace. A recent Bloomberg Report, for example, confirmed the fact that “minority participation in government contracting is at the lowest level in ten years.”
I am writing this OP-ED – thank God for the freedoms we still have – to further highlight proof that ‘cooked’ statistics, combined with false contracting results and lies about diversity in the Obama Administration are being allegedly used to manipulate the American electorate.
These revelations have earned the President the title of EL COCINERO! (the Chef!) You are urged to consider the facts – often ignored by the mainstream media – before you go to the poll in November! Is the Obama Administration being trustworthy?
Raul Espinosa is an inclusion and diversity expert in public contracting, a $3 Trillion national marketplace. Raul is the Founder and CEO of the Fairness in Procurement Alliance (FPA) and the Managing Partner of the Umbrella Initiative whose mission is “to double the number of small and minority businesses contracting with the Federal, State and local governments by the year 2020.” The Umbrella Initiative manages an academic Think Tank which specializes in offering solutions to government and private industry in the arena of diversity and inclusion. He has published three recent OP-EDs to highlight ‘cooked’ statistics, false contracting results and lies about diversity in the Obama Administration.
