2012 Presidential Elections .... 10 Lessons Learned.

The 2012 Presidential elections were personally "transformative" for me.

I have learned that my agendas alone are important and that I may advance them at any cost and by any means.

I need not be concerned for any adverse consequences whether I use duplicity, half truths or lie to influence others and advance my interests.

I am not personally responsible for my own actions and decisions as they affect either individuals or institutions; failures in outcomes are the fault of others not my own.

I will make promises I never intend to fulfill because it is more "optimal" for me than actually having to work or invest my resources to discharge the obligations.

I will use the good name, character, and good will of others carelessly and casually for my own purposes because I owe loyalty to no one other than myself.

I may aggrandize and enrich myself at the direct or indirect expense of others.

I may use and mis-use the resources of institutions for my own purposes.

I will reward lavishly those who support me and punish relentlessly those who oppose me but I will keep my enmity hidden from public view.

I will align the interests of the "press and media" with my own in order to exploit them.

I will be charismatic and approachable to serve as a "blank screen onto which people may project their hopes and dreams" and at my choosing I may "disappoint some if not all of them" but not because of my guile and deceit but rather for their own stupidity and gullibility.
