Is this all there is???

[swizzlee]

I had to read halfway thru the 2nd article on Obama's "campaign opener" before spotting this.

While his stump speech did copy some pages from past playbooks, one aspect of most presidential re-election pitches was absent from the president’s opening salvo: the introduction of a clear second-term agenda.

Instead, the president’s stump speech was all about protecting his first-term achievements like the health care reform law and developing alternative energy sources. And while, historically, second terms are mostly about preserving such accomplishments, there is usually at least a vague nod to what the president wants to get done in a second term.

But that was missing in Saturday’s speeches. Perhaps by the convention, the president will have a more direct pitch about what another four years will look like.

First Read - Analysis: Obama re-election launch seeks to define stakes of campaign

Why am I not surprised? FORWARD!

Why am I not surprised how much of his speech was simply an attack on Romney? FORWARD!

Why am I not surprised to read that in OH the hall was not filledl? FORWARD!

My own "analysis?"

That ain't the way to win elections, son.

Kinda difficult to boast on your achievements when they're of such a dubious nature.

Noun, verb, Bin Laden dead.....

Prepare for a total scorched Earth campaign...It's pretty much all he has.

Black presidents are owed more time in office.

 

[swizzlee]

From what? From who??

The "evil" Pubs??

Sorry, but that ain't a "platform", son.

 

[Missourian]

Tell us again how you killed Bin Laden...we never get tired of that story.

Black presidents are owed more time in office.

If he wins this one, I'm sure he'll try to make that happen.

He's already known for circumventing the Constitution...and we have those that lack spines in Congress...

Who is to stop him IF he wins?

American Troops languish in Afghanistan without support or encouragement and Barry Hussein blames Bush and says he is going to "move America forward" with higher taxes and a thousand IRS agents to enforce a 3,000 page law that nobody seems to want or understand. You can use the Chevy Volt as a symbol of Obama moving "forward". You get about 35 miles at 30 miles an hour.

 

[swizzlee]

Watch and listen to the crowd when you catch Obama at a campaign event.

How enthusiastic do they appear? How many pregnant pauses before the audience realizes they're supposed to be clapping? How often do you hear that applause?

There's a big diff between now and then.

What was the ONE WORD missing in Obama's gratuitous trip to ASTAN the other week when he was addressing the troops?














VICTORY.

O - Uh, uh, uh, the economy is Bush's fault.

O - Uhhhhh, the Republicans want to take away your job, healthcare, student loans, food, clean air and clean water. (whisper to his teleprompter....did I miss anything)

Mr Teleprompter - (whisper to O.....No, you are the greatest of all time)

O - No, you are the greatest of all time.

OBAMA CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES IN HALF EMPTY STADIUM (Let The Blame Game Begin)

To think he started his campaign on Karl Marx's birthday
and still a low turnout

And the UE in '04 was...............?

And the state of the economy in '04 was.............?

We were turning the corner and on our way to record prosperity:

Scary thought, no? I'm sure his handlers have thought of this.

My son is one of those languishing without support or encouragement. I hope he makes it home safely...
