....
Be afraid; be very afraid. Half of the American voters can be bought with free stuff or fooled with bad -faith glibness or guilt-tripped with phony political correctness. Thank God for the Electoral College. (Emphasis added)
But can Romney's blandishments overcome the character faults of Obama? "The line about the Obama swooning over his own historical greatness is predicated on what may be the most tin-eared presidential remark in memory. In an out-take from his interview last December with "60 Minutes," Obama said, "I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president--with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR and Lincoln."
...."The problem, now that Romney's main adversary is Obama, is that this I-am-rich-hear-me-roar strategy fuels Democratic populist appeals. Even worse politically ... is Romney's inability to connect with voters whose incomes are below McMansion levels."
Atlas Shrugs: PRESIDENT LOOTER
"I, for one, as an overtaxed American, am sick of it. It kicked off as early as his inauguration. Obama spent an obscene 150 million dollars on his inauguration. The media rejoiced in his decadence. Bush, OTOH, was raked over the coals for spending a fraction of what Obama spent on his inauguration. And Obama did it fresh off the economic crisis that shook the nation and catapulted him to the presidency. Where was the outrage?"
Yet... "Mr Obama's job approval rating stands at a healthy 64 per cent and, for the first time in years, more people than not say the country is headed in the right direction, the poll says. The "right direction" number is up 8 points since February and 31 points since October, the month before Obama's election."
Obama puts bully in bully pulpit "Obama needs to come out swinging, to appeal to a dissatisfied base along with the critical independent vote.
"“The base has been frustrated to discover that congressional politics is a glacially slow process,” said one former Obama aide. “So he has to turn up the volume and take the fight to the streets a bit more.” "
Victor Davis Hanson: Obama Off the Cuff "Such revelations are all the more striking in Obama’s case since rarely has a president’s ideology been so at variance with his public persona. His real views have been gleaned mostly from unguarded moments when he talks confidently without prompts — and therefore sounds conniving and shallow."
56% Say Obama Tried to ‘Intimidate’ Court "You have to wonder what this 40% were thinking? That Obama was just showing off his poor education regarding the history and role of the Supreme Court?"
Tunnel Wall does not condone this townhall cartoon and prints it only to show the depths some will fall to in depicting our president/
