GOP about to be blindsided with Obama's brilliant re-election strategy

[bigrebnc1775]

While Republicans are tearing each other up during the debates and giving Obama plenty of new soundbytes, Obama is busy going from Republican District to Republican District asking the Republican base why their leadership feels they should be satisfied with unsafe bridges and dangerous roads.

"Let him die" will become one of the many new campaign lines used against the Republicans.

"Corporations are people, my friend" will become another one.

Then there's the whole "anti science" thing.

The list goes on and is growing. While all the cameras and press are focused on the Republicans bashing Washington, Obama is not even IN Washington. Instead, he's laying the groundwork for what is to come and laying it on his terms.

Republicans will say, "But look, Democrats lost Wiener's district". So what? A few months before Republicans lost a couple of districts in a similar way. Remember, the House has a "13%" approval rating. That means an 87% DISAPPROVAL rating.

By doing what he's doing, Obama isn't just running againt the Republican nominee, he's running against the entire Republican Party.

Soon, he will be in John Boehner's district asking why there are 195 bridges deemed "structurally deficient".

Bridges falling down, no money for infrastructure, two wars, failed economy, all these things happened on Republican watch or came from Republican policy. And we know from the debates, these are STILL their policies. Difficult to run on failed policy.

Republicans will say, "But Obama's policies failed". How will we know? Republicans and Conservative Democrats never gave them a chance. And many Conservative Democrats have already been voted out of office.

Looking forward to the next 14 months.

"Let him die" will become one of the many new campaign lines used against the Republicans.

Still waiting on you to show some proof that the person who said let them die was someone from the GOP or the tea party?

OMFG that's too damn funny.

Two words anyone but you would never put in the same sentence.

Obama & Brilliant

LOL

Texas is a craphole.

Perry's been selling roads to private industry to pay for his tax cuts. And he's still 24 billion in the hole.

What? No stimulus check this time around Perry, old boy?

Suffer bitch.

This thread does not form part of the 6% of posts by Rdweeb that make sense.

I shall report him to AttackWhines. They'll get straight onto dealing with his horsecrap.

I think I'll do the same make sure it's known that he's claiming it was a republican or tea party member who siad let them die whenhe has no proof who it was.

Funny, Texas has the safest, most modern roadways in America.

Who's in charge down there?

• 22% of Texas’ bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
• There are 888 high hazard dams in Texas. A high hazard dam is defined as a dam whose failure would cause a loss of life and significant property damage.
• 103 of Texas’ 7,478 dams are in need of rehabilitation to meet applicable state dam safety standards.
• 84% of high hazard dams in Texas have no emergency action plan (EAP). An EAP is a predetermined plan of action to be taken including roles, responsibilities and procedures for surveillance, notification and evacuation to reduce the potential for loss of life and property damage in an area affected by a failure or mis-operation of a dam.
• Texas’ drinking water infrastructure needs an investment of $28.17 billion over the next 20 years.
• Texas ranked 2nd in the quantity of hazardous waste produced and 4th in the total number of hazardous waste producers.
• Texas’ ports handled 487 million tons of waterborne traffic in 2005, ranking it 1st in the nation.
• Texas reported an unmet need of $31.2 million for its state public outdoor recreation facilities and parkland acquisition.
• 32% of Texas’ major roads are in poor or mediocre condition.
• 47% of Texas’ major urban highways are congested.
• Vehicle travel on Texas’ highways increased 50% from 1990 to 2007.
• Texas has $5.64 billion in wastewater infrastructure needs.

Your post had 1 valid point in it.

Obama is not in Washington.

Is he ever?

 

[Full-Auto]

Yes unsafe bridges are the trump card.

Consequences from Republican policy are an important strategy. Wouldn't you say?

That collapse was due to democrats. Sorry worm they were in charge of inspections.

 

[Missourian]

If it weren't for union maintenance paying 3 guys to watch 1 dig a hole those bridges might have been maintained properly.

No money..no maintenance.

Simple as that.

Lots of money for the 3 guys watching 1 dig a hole though.

The DOT was forced to lay off one third of it's workforce after Black & Decker invented a shovel that stands up my itself.

Surely, Obama Needs to Run on his Record

Obama's Record

Record Debt
Record Deficits
Record Poverty Levels
Record Number of People on Food Stamps
Record Levels of Unemployment
Record Credit Rating Drop
Record Number of Wars

He will never run on his record, but he will run on blame.

Well as Rush so astutely pointed out shortly after Barry played his bridge card, say, Mr. President, where exactly are all these dangerous bridges? We should all have a list of them, should we not? So we can be safe by avoiding a dangerous bridge whenever we can. Surely with this danger all around us Mr. President isn't going to keep them a secret, is he?

I don't understand how Republicans can take our nation's infrastructure so lightly. This was in the midwest. A lot of Republicans in the midwest.

Instead of me trying to convince you of something you don't believe, how about proving me wrong.

Try this:

Open a program called "Google" and type in these words into "search":

iowa bridge closures

Now, try the same thing only use:

Ohio bridge closures

then keep adding states. Click on "the last month".

You get lots of stories with sentences like: The Iowa Department of Transportation closed the bridge last week after a crack was discovered during a regular inspection.

Remember, the number of bridges with problems is listed at 70,000. Most of these bridges were built more than 50 years ago. Most have a 40 to 50 year life.

And that's only a tiny part of the infrastructure.

So go ahead, laugh, quote Rush Limbaugh. Says a lot about you.

Blindsided the first time......not this time though.

Are you really so delusional that you think bridge repairs is going to be the issue that "saves" Barack Obama's second term? And would you like to take a crack at naming all the bridges that the first Stimulus bill fixed? You know with all those "shovel ready" jobs?

Everything depends on the unwavering slobbering support from the mainstream liberal media. If ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The Wash Post the NY Times, the A.P. and every other left wing source including Al Jazzera ever told the truth, Barry would be buried.

There you go spoiling a good fairy tale.

Hate to break this to you, Sparky but around 50% of the bridges in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York are structurally unsound or obsolete. Compared to those states Texas comes out looking great.
