More Change

Thursday 3 November 2011 - Filed under Uncategorized

Here’s some more of that highly touted Hope and Change promised by Obama in 2008. WaPo:

Forget hope and change. President Obama’s reelection campaign is going to be based on fear and loathing: fear of what a Republican takeover would mean, and loathing of whomever the Republican nominee turns out to be.

Of course the Obama campaign will attempt to present the affirmative case for his reelection, citing legislative achievements, foreign policy successes and the current flurry of executive actions. But his strategists have clearly concluded that selling the president will not be enough, and the contours of the ugly months ahead are becoming increasingly apparent.

It’s so nice to see a politician playing exactly the kind of politics he has sworn to leave in the past. And it’s no surprise that Obama’s advisers feel the need to sling mud; there just aren’t enough legislative successes to solidify his bid for 2012, and even those that some may count as a legislative success (Obamacare for instance), are seen as MASSIVE failures by others.
