***The Elect Hobie Webpage***

"I am a firm believer in the people.  If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts."  A. Lincoln

These pages will make you laugh, cry and mad as hell!
SORRY... No pretty pictures or flash or even a good looking web design, but rather just lots of facts and original analysis for decision makers, opinion makers, and those who want to be above the day-to-day political buzz and way ahead of the conventional wisdom curve! 

Uncommon facts and uncommon sense from America's heartland since 1996; Search Term: "Elect Hobie"


NEW: More than the number of "hits" these pages are very "sticky" for political junkies who often spend more than an hour going through the now 100's of pages to find the hidden gems and many candidates' "applause lines" -- especially now when most are calling for "change.  But to help the more casual web surfer, three new pages (still being developed) bring together the best quotes, uncommon facts, and quotes and uncommon facts by and about George W Bush.   

After over 10 years on the web our focus evolved from a spoof of  the 1996 presidential campaign to very in depth analyses of events and issues using a unique form of original analysis with excerpts from leading commentators, longer in-depth articles most don't have the time to read, and regular-person letters to the editor.  Over the last several years our attention has evolved from reforming the way we finance campaigns to the effects of spending all that money on 30 second television ads that are designed to mis-inform rather than inform -- as well as other fundamental problems with our political system.  And so while this web page will remain our new focus and facts and analysis will soon be at The Great Point  (www.thegreatpoint.org).  Far too often we are ahead of the curve and have to wait for others to catch up.  But simply put, in the face of unprecedented dangers and uncertainties, we cannot afford to wait much longer. So join us soon at the new web address as we explore fundamental ways to fix what's wrong, and make a safer, saner present and a better future for our country and citizens by putting original and unprecedented "out-of-the-box" options (like moving from a presidential to a parliamentary democracy!) on the table for discussion and debate... because simply put, there is no option but to put faith in the American people and hope that they will awaken and reclaim the American dream and ideals.

How we got into this mess and how we can get out:
Three Fundamental Problems with the Current Political System (and Solutions!)
AND as Obama and other presidential candidates embrace change, the Call to Action written in 1992 offers a reality check that true change is hard... but perhaps finally closer as more citizens become interested and involved in this fascinating 2008 election.


Understanding G. W. Bush (Is Emotional Intelligence Enough?)
