Obama Biden Romney and Ryan: Double Birth Orders




The Candidates Birth Order Affect
The race for President is now on with all the
participants selected. You may not know this
but in each of the Presidential elections after
Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter the
candidate with the higher birth order has always
won the election. Looking at each of the
candidate’s birth orders will allow you to unmask
their personalities and see their different
characteristics. It is also interesting that the
Presidential candidates choose Vice Presidential
running mates that closely match their own birth
orders.  

Double Birth Orders
A person will have a Double birth order when
they are separated from all other siblings by
four or more school years. When this happens
they add the Only birth order characteristics to
their number of birth. The larger the age interval
the greater the Only characteristics. This gives
them extra power as the Only child is the adult
in the room with lots of confidence growing up
in an adult world with his peers being adults not
children. Three of the four candidates have Double
birth orders. Looking at each candidate will give
you a new vision of who they really are.

Barack Hussein Obama Jr.
Born in 1961 he is six years older than his half
sister Maya Soetoro. At age 10 he left the family
to continue his education in Hawaii but shortly
thereafter he was joined by his mother and sister.
Because of the six year difference he will
demonstrate a Double birth order that is 60% an
Only child and 40% a number One.  These two
birth orders are very close as an Only child does
not become a Firstborn until another child is
added to the family. This birth order is very
confident with their own decisions and very
rarely will seek out advice from others. He is
a Super One, a high achiever and as a Firstborn
does not want to admit he is wrong. His closest
advisor is Valerie Jarrett, an Only birth order.
She has a superior birth order and is someone
he would go to for advice. One/Only’s have a
great deal of confidence and because they have
a younger sibling they can be more generational
in their appeal to the masses. Don’t look for any
change in direction from him.

Joe Biden
Obama’s presumed VP pick is the Firstborn of
four children. He, like Barack Obama did not feel
threatened by his younger sister. She has been at
his side through all the crises in his life and has
been the leader in all his campaigns.True to a
firstborn he is a high achiever, while growing up
he conquered a stuttering problem. Always the
leader of the “pack,” he demonstrated the firstborn
need to lead at an early age. His birth order makes
him want to be right at all times and not make
mistakes.  He has been known to make a gaff or two
but tries to cover it up with a little humor.  Expect the
same in this election.  As a Single birth order he does
not have the comfort level of the Double birth order
that carries the Only characteristics.  He will see
himself as the enforcer of the administrations policy
and be very direct in his approach. 

Willard Mitt Romney
Mitt is the fourth child in his family with the first two
girls and the third a brother, Scott six years older. This
gives Mitt the Double birth order of a Four/Only. It
is this birth order that is the most difficult to balance
because these two birth orders are the farthest apart.
A person with a Double birth order will move back
and forth between them showing two different
personalities. At a six year separation from his older
brother he is 60% an Only child and 40% a number
four. The Only side is the hard worker, adult and no
nonsense person willing and able to take on
responsibility. The Four personality is the baby in the
family that looks to others for help and wants work
to be fun.  This could be why Mitt is accused of
changing his mind. He is open to the ideas of others.
This is a characteristic not found in many politicians
as most are firstborns with little tolerance for the
opinion of others. There is no doubt that Mitt was
influenced by his father the former Governor of
Michigan who was a true number four birth order. 
When a number four realizes that life is hard and
you need to work, they really get it. Mitt seems a bit
stiff because all we have been seeing is his adult Only
side. When we see his Four side we will see his
playful characteristics. It is this Four side that allows
him to listen to his advisors, take their suggestions
and work with others.


Paul Ryan
Paul, like Mitt is the fourth born in his family. 
He has two older brothers and one older sister. 
There is a five year gap in age between his third
sibling and himself. This gives him the same
Double birth order as Mitt, both  Four/Only’s.
This is why he was the only real choice for VP
as he matched Mitt’s birth order. I stated in my
April 13th blog he was the logical pick for running
mate. Mate is the word, as this matching of birth
orders is a “love at first sight” paring.  The
difference is that Paul is closer to a 50% Only
and 50% Four split.  He seems to show more of
the playfulness of the Fourth born as life should
be fun not work. This is why bow hunting, fishing
and his family are a big part of his spare time.  The
fourth born is one to speak without using double
talk. Like a child they say exactly what is on their
mind. This is a very different from the usual
political speech.  The four is not afraid of elders
as they had practice with older brothers and
sisters. The Only gives them more power to be
outspoken.Others notice because they speak
with respect and have a kid like approach. He
like Mitt has been able to juggle these two birth
orders. In Paul’s case, the death of his father at
age 16 impressed upon him that life was going
to be hard work. That is exactly how he has lived
his life.

Predictions
Here we have a campaign with three candidates
With Double birth orders.  This seems to give the
edge to Obama and Biden as they have the higher
birth orders. Romney and Ryan both have Only
characteristics but this part of their birth orders is
muted by the addition of the fourth birth order. 
Not that they are  not up for the fight, but they will
be respectful and appear non-confrontational.  They
should be better able to relate to the public by
speaking clearly about the issues and not getting
too emotional. Having almost identical birth orders
is a plus for they will energize each other and speak
with one voice. Barack and Joe will be more like
your oldest sibling and try to tell us what would be
best for us. Because of the complexity of the
electoral process it is difficult to pick the winner
of the electoral votes.  There is no question that
Mitt and Paul will take the majority of the popular
vote but will it be in the key states? This election
will be a nail biter come November.

The Baldwin Brothers and Sisters Their Birth Orders

                            Stephen      Billy      Alec       Daniel
                           Jane William Elizabeth Carol Daniel Stephen Alec

                     A Family of Six
                     It is not often that in a family four siblings
                     are in the entertainment business. Of the six
                     Baldwin children the four boys are actors but
                     their two sisters took a more traditional course.
                     Birth order is a tool to unmask personalities
                     and we will use it here to look at each member
                     of this family.

                     Elizabeth Baldwin Keachler #1
                     Born in 1955 she is the eldest of the children.
                     She carries the firstborn birth order.  With so
                     many brothers she would have a hard time
                     keeping her position and may have been
                     dethroned by brother Alec, the second born.
                     She must be a very nurturing firstborn having
                     six children of her own. She is married to a
                     landscaper but finds time to head Stephen
                     Baldwin’s Fan Club. He was the sixth born
                     and older sister is acting like a mother being
                     11yrs older. She probably played this role
                     while they were growing up.

                     Alec Baldwin #2
                     Alec could be the poster boy for a type of
                     number two birth order. Born in 1958 three
                     years younger than his older sister. True to
                     a second born he does not like to be told
                     what to do. His confrontations with reporters
                     is widely known. Outspoken about his liberal
                     political beliefs he does not back down, a trait
                     typical of second borns. He has had many
                     roles but comedy fits this birth order as it
                     makes fun of traditional roles in life. His
                     Capital One commercials and his role on 30
                     Rock showcase his humor. In marriage his
                     ideal match would be someone that has his
                     same birth order of that of his sisters. Sister
                     Elizabeth is a number one and Jane is a number
                      Five.  Five is a second level number One as
                      birth order starts over again after number
                      Four. His first wife Kim Basinger was a
                      Number Three birth order and the first girl in
                      her family. She would have understood Alec
                      as she has a number two brother. Alec would
                      find her difficult to understand since he did
                      not have a number three sister. His new wife,
                      Hilaria Thomas has an unknown birth order. 
                      Let’s hope she is a firstborn with a younger
                      brother. That would be Alec’s perfect match.

                       Daniel Baldwin #3
                       Daniel was born in 1960 two years younger than
                       Alec.  True to the Third-born, acting would come
                       naturally as he really understands people. Many
                       times third-borns get addicted to drugs or alcohol
                       as they are open and willing to try new things.
                       Unfortunately, they are easy prey to addiction.
                       Such is the case with Daniel who fits the
                       Third-born description of laughing on the outside
                        but crying on the inside. His personal life shows
                        the free sprit of the number three. He has four
                        children each with a different mother. Winning
                        the battle with addiction would stabilize his life.

                         William (Billy) Baldwin #4
                         Billy was born in 1963 Three years younger 
                         than older brother Daniel. The fourth child 
                         is the true baby in the family. In high school 
                         and college he was a varsity wrestler. Sports 
                         and games and having fun is what the 
                         number 4 is all about. Before becoming an 
                         actor, Billy worked as a male model for 
                         Calvin Klein. His brother Daniel says “all 
                         the girls liked Billy." Maybe this was 
                         the signal he put out that said “Help Me, I’m 
                         the baby." Brother Alec said that Billy was the 
                         peacemaker when everyone was “going at it 
                         pretty bad”.  Billy refers to himself as the “white 
                         sheep” in the family. He has been married only 
                         once to Chynna Phillips and they have three 
                         children. Chynna’s birth order is a mystery as 
                         she is one of eleven siblings of her father.  
                         Being part of a large family should be second 
                         nature for her, she would fit right in with the 
                         Baldwins.

                          Jane Sasso Baldwin #5
                          Born in 1965 she is two years younger than 
                          Billy. A number 5 starts the birth order 
                          sequence all over again. She is a second level 
                          #1.  This means the characteristics of a 
                          number 1 are softened with the number 5. 
                          She like her sister took a more conventional
                          path in life.  She is a physical therapist and 
                          her husband runs a car dealership.

                          Stephen Baldwin #6
                          Born in 1966 just one year younger than older 
                          sister Jane. As a number 6, he is in the 
                          second group of birth Orders. A #6 is a 
                          second level  #2. Similar to Alec but without 
                          the edge and more subtle.  All children 
                          want to be different. Stephen is a 
                          Republican, completely opposite from Alec  
                          who has campaigned for Democratic  
                          candidates. He is also a born again Christian  
                          something that happened right after 9/11. 
                          He attributes this to helping him kick the  
                          drug habit but being a second level number 
                          two and wanting to be in control of his own 
                          life certainly helped. As the youngest in 
                          the family he has said that their family was 
                          more like The Brady Bunch, but on crack.

                          End The Confusion
                          An interesting family there is not doubt. We 
                          can get a different perspective of the 
                          Baldwins by looking at their birth orders. 
                          When all four brothers are in the same 
                          profession, it is easy to confuse them. By 
                          understanding their birth orders you have a 
                          way to unmask their personalities. You can 
                          now recognized their differences.
