Even before this week’s economic indicators, the Obama campaign had signaled that it would do anything to distract voters from the economic malaise of Obamanomics. After today’s jobs report, that job will become tougher — but don’t expect Team Obama to change their strategy. In fact, as Charles Krauthammer rightly observes, Barack Obama and his administration has spent much of its time shaping the battlefield for the most divisive presidential election in history:

The entire Obama campaign is a slice-and-dice operation, pandering to one group after another, particularly those that elected Obama in 2008 — blacks, Hispanics, women, young people — and for whom the thrill is now gone.

What to do? Try fear. Create division, stir resentment, by whatever means necessary — bogus court challenges, dead-end Senate bills and a forest of straw men.

Why else would the Justice Department challenge the photo ID law in Texas? To charge Republicans with seeking to disenfranchise Hispanics and blacks, of course. But in 2008 the Supreme Court upheld a similar law from Indiana. And it wasn’t close: 6 to 3, the majority including the venerated liberal John Paul Stevens.

Moreover, photo IDs were recommended by the 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform, co-chaired by Jimmy Carter. And you surely can’t get into the attorney general’s building without one. Are Stevens, Carter and Eric Holder anti-Hispanic and anti-black?
The ethnic bases covered, we proceed to the “war on women.” It sprang to public notice when a 30-year-old student at an elite law school (starting private-sector salary upon graduation: $160,000) was denied the inalienable right to have the rest of the citizenry (as co-insured and/or taxpayers — median household income: $52,000) pay for her contraception.

Despite a temporary setback — Hilary Rosen’s hastily surrendered war on moms — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will resume the battle with a Paycheck Fairness Act that practically encourages frivolous lawsuits and has zero chance of passage.

Dear idiot,

austerity is tanking europe.

Our economy is growing under Obama.


Dont let the facts get in your way , you never have before
 
Yes it will be a devisive campaign. which is very strange considering how much alike in politics the two candidates are.
 
I really beg to disagree there usc.


They are more different than alike although I also dont like the sameness they do share.
 
A divisive campaign only reflects and exploits the divisions already present in the nation. obama has one unassailable argument, he is just another black man being villified and attacked by de wite folk.

Oh Jeezus, what a brain trust this guy is. Thanks for the info Krauthammer, you've given us some things to ponder over the next 30 seconds.. :cuckoo:

And this is the best of the best in Republican cricles?
 
Austerity didn't lead to their fall TM. Spending did.

Don't let facts get in your way idiot.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

nope Bush crashing the world economy gave them the mess.

Republicans gave them the plan to fix it and that plan tanked
 
Austerity didn't lead to their fall TM. Spending did.

Don't let facts get in your way idiot.

There would be no austerity if the EU had not said that the wallet was folded shut and the lavish spending of the liberal governments would no longer be supported.

Europe is socialist.

Margaret Thatcher isn't in the fray any longer. You must have forgotten that.

Now that dream time is over let's look at what really fucked Europe. Greece in particular....

This has been the most divisive PRESIDENCY this country has ever known. I doubt the campaign will be divisive. People will line up together on the side that will defeat socialism and save this country from the same fate as Europe!
