Obama running scared?

"Virtually all of the ads were viciously negative, and judging from the number of Pinocchios they’ve racked up, continually and materially false."

I don't think Obama and his band of political thugs are scared - not yet. I think they have their "game face" on and are already engaged in serious, bare knuckle, smash mouth politics - Chicago style. They enjoy destroying and inflicting maximum pain.



These guys go way beyond having sharp elbows. Obama and his folks are dishonest. The word "spin" does not describe what they do. They have already jumped into the vilify, smear, and destroy tactics. It is game on - no holds barred - biting and gouging is OK.



I hope Romney has a team that can respond and hit back hard - quickly. No accusations left un-answered. It's "go" time right now.

Chicago has the most corrupt political system in the nation.

Here's an interesting Rasmussen poll out today. Regarding Romney's business record at Bain. The pounding of the Obama team is taking it's toll. But, I heard that Romney's team has ads ready to roll out that confront the Bain attack ads.



41% See Romney’s Business Record As a Positive, 41% Disagree



Monday, July 16, 2012



Voters are now evenly divided over whether Mitt Romney’s business experience is a plus or a minus, but they still consider him more ethical than President Obama.



A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 41% of Likely U.S. Voters now think Romney’s track record in business is primarily a reason to vote for him, while just as many (41%) consider it chiefly a reason to vote against him. A sizable 18% are not sure.

I may have to disagree with you hawk, since Chicago's guy moved to Washington D C to join with many others the 2 towns may be close to a dead (no pun intended at this time) heat.

it all depends on the poll question. Politico now saying that Bain is seen as a positive for romney by a 2:1 margin.



and that's without much defense by ROmney's camp

I just read that the Democratic Convention will prominently feature Bill Clinton are a main speaker. His job is to eloquently, and convincingly make the case why Obama deserves a second term.



Obama and his Chicago thugs know this election is close - and could be lost. Rasmussen Reports has has Romney up 2-4 pts. over the last 1/2 week. I think Obama and crew are very concerned.

"Bill Clinton to Have Leading Role at Party’s Convention"

By JEFF ZELENY

Published: July 29, 2012



WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton is set to play a central part in the Democratic convention, aides said, and will formally place President Obama’s name into nomination by delivering a prime-time speech designed to present a forceful economic argument for why Mr. Obama deserves to win a second term.

That's because Clinton is more popular than Obama right now. If they can get people to think Obama is more like Clinton than Obama that would be good for Obama.

Absolutely. This is an effort to attach a floundering Obama to Bill Clinton's coattails. It will work, if they can convince people to forget the last 42 disastrous economic months.



Time will tell - about 100 days worth of time.

Actually it will be 45 disastrous months by that point. Well, now that I think about it, it's going to be more like 52 disastrous months which the president hasn't turned around.



He gets some credit for stemming the tide and ending the free-fall, but to save a patient who is bleeding out, you have to do more than stop the bleeding.

I'm pretty sure all you need to do is blame it on the last doctor.

Can you imagine the mess President Obama will inherit from the previous president if he's re-elected? Talk about getting a raw deal!

How about this one?
