There are only two ways to look at the Obama re-election campaign right now: Either the upstart candidate who stunned the world when he defeated the Clinton machine to capture the Democratic nomination three years ago has lost every bit of that massive mojo, or the bruised and battered president, after three years in office, just doesn’t want another spin in the Oval Office.
How else to explain the nonstop missteps, the stammering and stuttering campaign, not to mention the brazen attacks on American voters, who, he has said, have “fallen behind,” lost their “ambition and imagination,” gotten “lazy” and “a bit soft” - this is a guy seeking the support of America?!
For the past 36 months, Americans have hoped for the best. But it hasn’t turned out that way. In fact, some argue that Mr. Obama actually made the economy worse - the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said last week that his 2009 stimulus package may have sustained as few as 700,000 jobs at its peak and that over the long run it will be a net drag on the economy.
But then, this. The president, traveling the country purportedly to look for votes in 2012, decided to lecture the American people on their shortcomings: fat, lazy, stupid. And now, he’s channeling - of all people - Jimmy Carter.

He's raised $150 million for his campaign. Yes, he wants to win.

I think he's looking at the GOP candidates right now and figures why waste the effort going after most of them. Most of them could defeat themselves.
Once there is a set GOP nominee, then he can campaign.
Personally, I would much rather the President be concerned with running our country than being reelected, especially almost a year before the election.
First of all the following words appear at the beggining of the article.
ANALYSIS/OPINION
So this isn't breaking news.
And given your usual rhetoric it's no surprise you take this editorial piece as the ****ing gospel.
Was the picture of Obama eating a hot dog supposed to add integrity to the article? Or just expose it for the useless piece of opinion it truly is?
Moderator's Warning: |
There's no reason for him to start visibly campaigning this early. The campaign for him doesn't start until the GOP picks a candidate. He's the president. He should be focused on policy, not on actively campaigning.Raising money doesn't tell the heart of the man...I think he is phoning it in.

wow, didnt expect that one from you lol
i think the president has been doing to much campaigning and not enough running the country. he spent more time on the road lately pushing his jobs bill, which we all know is just campaigning, then being at the white house.
i had high hopes for this president and he let me down hard!
