| In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama’s campaign did something that campaigns have always strived to do, but can’t usually achieve: It found the pitch-perfect tone, offering the nation a promise of hope and change. Four years later, the Obama re-election campaign has not found similar success. With polls showing the President in trouble and slipping from his lead in most polls, and even trailing in some, what once was hope and change has now morphed into sarcasm and derision. Rather than challenge his opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, on substance, the Obama camp has resorted to ridicule and arrogance,

We disagree about the pitch perfect tone. After multiple years of trashing President George W. Bush by the lib media, a donkey could have won the White House. Zero was an empty suit in 2008 and still is. The lib media simply handed him the prize.

Americans have a clear choice the first Tuesday in November.
They can vote for this "recovery" and 4 more years of it.
Or they can vote for what a REAL recovery looks like and what a real recovery will be with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan handling the Executive Branch duties of the United States of America.
Either way, it's "put up or shut up" time for American voters. There can be no whining or complaining that "they're all the same" after this one. Nope, not anymore. This one's on us.

Looking back in cold hard light of day four years later..Hope and Change sounds so shallow, infantile and plain stupid. Who would believe garbage like that? To me the pitch was self evident demagoguery but for many folks an empty slate they believed they could write on. Sad!

If I have to watch another clip of the ChoomGangsta at a rally talking about Romnesia, in front of a crowd giggling at it like a bunch of 12 year old kids, acting like it so clever and cool, I'll be ordering another case of barf bags. He has nothing better to talk about, no real ideas, no agenda but trash, trash, trash. What a loser.

Barry is just following 2 of Alinsky's rules while he daily makes a fool of himself with his silly “Romnesia” tag and his campaign posting of photoshopped images of Romney in a dunce hat:
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”
His people may be "having a ball" but we that know how to think, aren't.

After a 45-year hiatus, Democrats appear to have recovered from Vietnam Syndrome enough to retake the mantle of America’s war party. They are welcome to it. (Snip) Obama, who less than nine months after his inauguration won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” while fostering “a new climate” in international relations, especially in reaching out to the Islamic world, has the U.S. engaged in conflicts in six Muslim nations. Today Mr. Obama has more troops in Afghanistan than when he took office.

Maybe it has something to do with this: The Senate’s effective rejection of President Barack Obama’s post-Newtown gun control bill robs the Democratic Party of an important tool for trying to regain a majority in the House in November 2014. “Are they serious?” a visibly angry Obama demanded of opponents of the Toomey/Manchin Senate bill.

President Obama´s gun control agenda was routed in the Senate on Wednesday, and Mr. Obama naturally blamed the National Rifle Association. The truth is that Mr. Obama invited this meltdown by assuming he could exploit the Newtown massacre to ram through a liberal wish-list that wouldn´t have stopped the next mass murder. The day´s biggest news was the defeat of the amendment expanding background checks by Senators Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) and Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.). It fell six votes short of the 60 needed to pass, as four Democrats defected:

I’ve decided—and it wasn’t much of a decision: more a “duh” moment—that arguments over the legacy of former President George W. Bush will cease, oh, around the time we get an accurate count of all those angels said to be breakdancing on the head of a pin. The opening, on May 1, at Southern Methodist University, of the $250 million George W. Bush Presidential Center will further the discussion (or slugfest, whichever) in ways both predictable and unexpected. This is what happens, is it not, when individuals, however highly placed, seek to direct the course of public conversation.

The full extent of the devastation will have to wait until the light of day Thursday. But residents of the small Texas town of West already know what to expect. "There are a lot of people that got hurt," West Mayor Tommy Muska forewarned Wednesday night. "There are a lot of people that will not be here tomorrow." A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant on the edge of the town killed at least two people, wounded more than 150, leveled dozens of homes and prompted authorities to evacuate half their community of 2,800.

The immigration issue is front and center in Washington this week, as the so-called Gang of Eight finally unveiled a comprehensive reform bill at around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal judge is set to rule within days on a pending lawsuit that has gone largely unnoticed, although it could have serious implications for the immigration debate. The suit pits the Obama administration against its own immigration-enforcement agents, who are suing over the administration’s use of “prosecutorial discretion” to dictate how immigration law is enforced — or not enforced.

Bipartisanship is honored mostly in the breach, but nowhere is there more agreement among partisans in Washington than in celebration of Rahm Emanuel’s admonition that “you never want a crisis to go to waste.” The angels of mercy at the finish line of the Boston Marathon had hardly collected all the severed limbs in the killing field before partisan exploitation of the terror began. President Obama invoked his rules for civil behavior. “I’ve updated leaders of Congress in both parties,” he said, “and we reaffirmed that on days like this, there are no Republicans or Democrats.

"There are good people on both sides of this thing," President Obama said in a gun control speech a couple of weeks ago, "but we have to be able to put ourselves in the other person´s shoes." He worried that "both sides of the debate sometimes don´t listen to each other" and wondered, "How do you build trust?" Not this way: There were no coherent arguments as to why we wouldn´t do this. It came down to politics—the worry that that vocal minority of gun owners would come after them in future elections....They caved to pressure,

Jenny insists that she did not leak to the Associated Press the court filings that revealed that Mark had trespassed at her home in early February. “Those documents the AP has are legit,” she told The Wall Street Journal.

On April 11, Carson returned to northwest Detroit to give a talk at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. In his remarks, Carson lamented that Detroit gun violence had claimed another victim: the very Northwestern student who had introduced him just two weeks before.

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday´s funeral of Britain´s Margaret Thatcher. It´s a measure of how little he values the special relationship — and a sign of his own smallness. Back in more gracious times, vice presidents routinely attended funerals of foreign dignitaries. As such, the presence of Vice President Joe Biden — if not Obama himself — would seem fitting for as significant a U.S. ally as the late Prime Minister Thatcher, if not out of warmth of feeling, then simply to represent the U.S.´ gratitude.

Obama, like all Americans, is standing by, waiting for answers as to who planted two bombs improvised from pressure cookers at the finish line of the storied race, and why. Three Americans were killed in Monday´s attack and more than 170 others were injured. "Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror," Obama said,

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.
