| Obama is beyond the kitchen sink |
| 2012-08-09 |
| By Ed Rogers It is only mid-August and President B.O. has officially run out of things to say. I've said before that I think the Obama campaign is not properly pacing itself. I've thought his campaign was running too hot and it would exhaust itself before November. Obama does not appear to be building his campaign to a crescendo that will drive up turnout but is instead building a campaign of distractions and pot shots that will turn voters off and suppress turnout. Low turnout should be among Obama's greatest fears in 2012. Perhaps he is hoping the campaign will be so bad that it will suppress Willard MittRomney's ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the presumptive Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney's charisma is best defined as soporific, which is probably why he is leading the Publican field. On the plus side, he isn't President B.O... turnout, too. Yesterday revealed two examples of how low the Obama campaign has reached. I think we are beyond the kitchen sink and Obama is now throwing pieces of pipe out of the wall. Obama has a new ad out in which he and his superPAC accuse Romney of killing a woman. That's right, Romney killed her by investing in a company that failed. Her husband worked at that company and, somehow, the Bain Capital investment led to her illness and death. Yes, it is a little hard to follow. The woman's death is a tragedy, but Obama doesn't mind using it in a twisted way to try and tar Romney and distract voters from his own economic record. Next, Obama rolled out a rehearsed, childish put-down of some aspect of Romney's tax plan. The news of the day from the president of the United States was him calling Mitt Romney "Romneyhood" at a fundraiser in Connecticut. It is so dumb I don't mind repeating it. But with so much of the media willing to play along, Romney couldn't let the sound bite stand and have it be declared clever by the Obama apologencia -- the Romney campaign had to have its own childish retort. So yesterday was about Romneyhood and "Obamaloney." I guess that is a score for Obama, since he needs the campaign to be a discouraging farce so that no one will notice how his stewardship of the economy is ruining their lives and destroying kids' futures. Oh, well. I can't wait to see what happens next. |

| #10 It's not so much that he's run out of things to say, but who in hell is listening to him besides the true believers? I see him on TV, I turn the channel. Hear him on the radio, click. He's got nothing to say to me that I'm interesting in hearing or that I haven't heard from his lying ass before. I've tuned him out, as have a lotta people I know. |

| #8 "Obama is beyond the kitchen sink ..." So does that put him in the dish disposal? |

| #7 On the plus side, he [Obummer] isn't President B.O... That's good enough reason to vote for Mitt. However, there are other good reasons too. He has executive experience and has done something positive in this life besides be a community organizer and who is driven by a hatred and envy of success, a hatred for anyone who disagrees with him, and one who is full of racism and anti-semitism. |

| #6 They really need to go out of business. No. They need to be put down, like a rabid animal. I read somewhere (wish I could find the link) that 95% of the media in this country is owned by just 5 or 6 groups, and that they all share seats on each others Boards. There must be someway to break these groups up with RICO or Anti-Trust laws. The Left, and their control of the Media has to stopped. We cannot afford to wait for them to go bankrupt. I fear it is too late to save the Republic, we'll have to wait for it to collapse, and be ready to move fast against the Left when it does. |

| #5 Ptah, totally agree. Perhaps due is a history show exploring the real Robin Hood, you know the one who held the shire's physician hostage, destroyed roads and bridges, and raped ducks. Also hung out with that radical bible clinger Tuck and did you know Little John is a slang for somebody who pistol whips people with a Glock. True stuff, saw it in a commercial. |

| #4 Obamaloney is a bit strained but DOES do a better job of conveying the truth than "Romneyhood", which could be turned around to point out that classic remakes of "robin hood" has good Robin and his merrie band attacking on overoppressive, overtaxing government to return money to the people. Tax cuts tend to do that... |

| #3 I think the big lie card was always in the hand, just that they would prefer to have played it in October. Romneyhood, well that is just lame. Keep it up Team O. |

| #1 This is Obama and the the Democrats. More attacks to come. This is his history. He takes the easy route always. He has totally lost the conservative Democrat. I believe they will stay home. The media is the biggest enemy in our election process. After the election they will hammer every negative they can find or make up. They really need to go out of business. |
