What the FUCK is he talking about the President was excellent on the campaign trail. Why doesn't he do a bad campaign story on FLIP FLOPPER http://news.yahoo.com/four-reasons-obama%E2%80%99s-2012-re-election-campaign-had-a-bad-week.html

President Obama campaigining against Mitt Romney is like him campaigning agaist a paperdoll.

I ignore Greenfield and all other pundit analyses, but from polls it looks like it's going to be close.

(62,683 posts)by the comments. With the exception of 2 or 3, they're all anti-Obama. I'm hoping this isn't a true representation of the mind set of the masses.
I'd be somewhat concerned that the house wasn't packed to the rafters, but that in and of itself isn't cause for too much alarm -- just odd, IMO.
And it is appearing that Obama's view on gay marriage is totally politically motivated at this point -- but so what? I give them ALL a pass for politics with an election on the horizon. Give him a break on this -- I'm hoping that after his reelection he'll come out in strong support of it. (Not that he can 'make it so', so ultimately it's not something he should be held responsible for.)

The rest of his points are simply weak and unconvincing in the context he presents them in.

(20,450 posts)either way:
Come out in support of gay marriage, and you've lost many moderate Republicans and perhaps some minority groups who have "religious" objections to gay marriage.
Don't come out in support of gay marriage, and the LGBT community and many liberals will be upset with you.
Either way, this man can't win.
As for R-Money, why doesn't the Corporate Media give him a litmus test on his views of gay marriage and abortion. Why? Because they are shilling for Mitt.
And, he does seem like the Corporate Media's meme that Obama took too much credit for the bin Laden killing has worked on Americans. This is swiftboating just like they did John Kerry. I don't know what Obama can do to beat it. There's simply way too much money to combat these lies coming from the Right.

(4) Do you remember Media Whores Online?*
I still want to know who was responsible for the late great, much lamented Media Whores. It was a leader in its field and a pure joy to read.

Obama was on fire back in 2008 and people were very excited to see change from the Bush years on the horizon. It's only natural that the enthusiasm might not be the same nearly 4 years later but President Obama's crowds seem heftier than Romney's crowds ever will be, at least outside of the RNC. They're seriously suggesting that we be worried that he's *only* drawing crowds of 14K? Seriously?
