In a way I hesitated to post--don't want to tip off the opposition--but then who am I kidding, this is not top secret stuff.
For a team that appeared to be masterful in the 2008 campaign, Team Obama has had one misstep after another in 2012. Here are a few I've noticed.
1) The 'life of Julia' ad. This was a terrible ad, IMO, that highlighted Obama's philosophy of ever-more, ever-bigger government, and of jacking up the dependency index. This is not, and never has been popular in America. FDR was smart enough to couch his New Deal programs in terms that downplayed dependency. That's why social security was packaged as 'insurance' rather than welfare.
2) The Osama ad. When I saw it, I thought it was so bad that I wondered whether it was not a deliberate try by Bill Clinton to undermine Obama. It takes the greatest acheivement of the admin and devalues it. Even Arianna Huffington termed the ad 'despicable.'
3)The mishandling of Rev. Wright. With the revelation of the attempted $150,000 bribe, it appears that Wright is getting his revenge for being thrown under the bus. Same thing with Van Jones, who recently reamed Eric Holder over Fast and Furious. A rookie mistake. The Clintons made that mistake once with Billy Dale, and never again.
4)The Rex Nutting piece on spending growth. It was cited by Jay Carney, and then by Pres. Obama himself on the campaign trail. Only one problem--the piece was thoroughly shredded by normally pro-admin outlets, the Washington Post and AP. It was so far off, even they couldn't swallow it. Now Team Obama has to figure out how to walk it back, but I don't see a way.
5)The Bain attacks. One of the ads featured a situation that occurred after Romney had been long gone from Bain. As poster Sanrene points out even rising Dem star Cory Booker said that he was 'nauseated' by these attacks from team Obama. https://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...useated-5.html
All this just in the last month. Do they want to lose? Feel free to add to the list.
team obama is really laughable
he has one tiny little problem this go around
his failed record!
He is so stupid, everything they have tried has back fired
and he has NO idea how bad he is going to lose!
hell, the justice department is meeting with black preachers to try and teach them how to not get their tax exempt yanked for them by preaching obama from the pulpits!
Now that's a first!!
I find all of this funny as hell at the idiot-n-chief!!
The military has dumped his ass as well
he will pull some stunt like haul us into war to try and distract us
or something
what a hack!!!!!
I couldn't believe it when I saw this ad at the top of a page on realclearpolitics. Team Obama is now using the numbers from the Rex Nutting 'Marketwatch' piece that were shredded, beheaded, and left for dead. Team Obama picked up the dead body props it up, and uses in a campaign ad. Remarkable.
Kinda like the Romney team misspelling "Amercia" not once, but twice?
Kinda like Obama using forward when they really meant forwarned.
