Mark Penn on How Barack Obama Could Lose the 2012
MARK PENN!!! ladies and gentlemen


Yes! You! Can! (Defeat Obama, That Is)
http://www.gq.com/news-politics/politics/201107/mark-penn-interview-gq-july-2011


1. He Takes Another Big Risk—and Flops

2. He Thumps His Chest Too Much About Bin Laden
"He's already mentioning it in speeches, and he has to stop. Never ever put the Osama mission in political terms. People are going to want him to put this in ads. Don't."

3. He Makes a Bush 41 Blunder on the Economy

4. He Ignores a Big Chunk of His Constituency
"That group" is his voters! Believe it or not, those are his people. It used to be that upper income voters were 3-to-1 or 4-to-1 for the Republicans. Obama does best with people who make the least and people who make the most.

5. He Acts Like a Presidential Candidate Instead of a President
"Which he's doing already, and that's a mistake. In the beginning of his presidency, he got overexposed. The tendency was—and still is—to throw him out there, for an intensive series of interviews. And I think he got overexposed. He does not want to be overexposed now. He has to be careful."
:wtf: lay low in a political run???? :wow: great advice there Mark :eyes:


7. A Sex Scandal
"I certainly doubt it with this president. But hey, even Al Gore wound up in one." :puke:

3. in his point on bin Laden, he says to resist the temptation to do the same with Mullah Omar
this guy is politically tone deaf if he thinks most Americans even remember who Mullah Omar is, or Zawahiri or whoever the hell the new number two or three in al Qaeda is.

9. Wasn't he basically a PUMA in 2008?
And urged Hillary to basically play the race card to attract Jewish primary voters?
