There is no need to attack him personally. There is a multitude of things on which he can be attacked, namely his positions, actions (or inactions), and his miserable failing record.
What is this failing record? Unemployment is going down like or not..Obama's basically untouchable on foreign affairs, noteably National Security with several major wins, healthcare passed, numerous natural disasters were cleaned up nice and quiet..Of course, no administration is perfect but if you're unbiased, the guy is doing pretty well with the scuttle Bush left him.
The ultra-right's perceptions of Obama as an evil and ugly socialist/Nazi/America-hating monster does not appear to be widely shared with the American people. And for Republican pols.... it's a pickle.
I've watched a few of the debates. Other than Romney's idea of calling China on their BS currency manipulation, I haven't heard much of anything that anyone could actually implement. I did hear lots of how Obama is bad and how they're the one to take him down, but few of them have any real ideas.

That's just it. When you actually bother to look at his actions and positions, they are a lot further right than Republicans care to admit.
So, what can Republicans do? Say he's not American. Say he attends a racist church. Make him seem like he's not really one of us.
Attack his school records. Portray his wife as a ***** because she wants kids to eat healthier.
It's good to see some of the Republicans are seeing the light. The last thing they should do is attack Obama personally, especially considering the potential Republican candidates.

And there you have it, folks! The good 'ole Blame Bush card!!
Seriously, the man is a completely inept failure. Just because you personally agree with all of his failing policies does not mean the rest of the (sane) country also does.

I think his policies are just fine and are doing our country a lot of good.

Good for you. Many would disagree though. There are obvious ideological differences upon which to base our disdain for his policies. You can claim he's center-right all you want to but that won't make (the majority of) republicans and conservatives agree with him or want to vote for him. Seriously, if he were so far right as many of you like to claim, we on the right would be jumping over ourselves to vote for him. Guess what, we won't be voting for him. Let that speak for itself.

Yeah right they hate the man and the idea that he can be President. No way wil they be able to that.
PS the Republican National Committee is pretty much a Democrat-lite organization still, not some ultra right wing party.
If it were more of the public would be behind it and we'd be getting balanced budgets and smaller government.
The GOP wants to go back to the personal attack tactics of 2008? Go ahead because he got elected anyways and President Obama is more popular than any GOP canidate out there right now!

Sorry, but I disagree. Obama could end taxes, ban abortion and extend the 2nd amendment and many righties still would not vote for Obama.
