Plan B Forum

What would your re-election campaign look like if...

...your record on the economy was disastrous,

...you had spent the National Government into virtual bankruptcy with no measurable benefit,

...you had no clue for a plan to solidify social security or to bring Medicare and Medicaid spending under control,

...your signature accomplishment ("Obamacare") was extremely unpopular,

...you had pissed away a mountain of good will with our foreign allies by your bungling and impotent foreign policies,

...your main supporters from last time were either lukewarm, apathetic, or downright antagonistic to your candidacy this time around,

...your two most "powerful" spokespeople, Joe Biden and Harry Reid, had turned themselves into late-night talkshow punchlines through their intemperate and stupid public remarks, and

...the public was slowly coming to the realization that you were not quite as bright, "different," or sincere as you claimed to be when you were first elected.

One can only suppose that you would,

...do your absolute best to steer the public discussion AWAY from your record as President,

...slander and demonize your opponents, and

...try to frighten the most pathetic of your supporters (minorities, Old Folks, single women) with made-up horror stories.

It all makes perfect sense when you see it in this light.

A pox on the Non-Fox Media for allowing it to happen, unchallenged.

You seem to be describing the previous administration much more than the current one.

Doesn't sound like a bad basis for a campaign to me.

But when did Dave ever care about the facts?

Hahahaha, if Dave is this wound up in the middle of August, he'll be apoplectic by October. I can't wait to see his head explode in November. Only question is whether it's before or after the 6th.

Coome on Scooter--the recession is over? Unemployment is decreasing. Tell that to the millions suffering from the effects of both--success on Wall Street does not translate to success on Main Street and it is disingenuous to suggest things are better. Is it Obama's fault---not entirely, but it's hardly something to claim as a success for anyone.

And as for OBL being dead, does it make anyone any safer? I sincerely doubt it.

If the economy is expanding, the recession is over, and if there are fewer people out of work, then unemployment is decreasing. I'm sure a lot of people are wishing that both would happen faster, but yes, objectively, things are better.

The Republicans' basic complaint against Obama: "He's taking too long to clean up the mess we left him!"

The Republican message is "we're going to do the same things that caused 8 years of falling incomes followed by the worst collapse in 80 years".

That is the ONLY 8-year period since the great depression when the median income went down.

By all objective measured their policies are the worst we have ever seen. And they want to do it again?

How stupid is that?

Vice President Biden, Wednesday, August 15, 2012: "Folks, where’s it written we cannot lead the world in the 20th century in making automobiles?”

I don't know, Joe, where is that written? And what the fuck does it have to do with this Presidential campaign?

The picture above would probably be convincing to the ignorant voters targeted by the Democrats, but then they don't really need any convincing do they? They are too stupid to make themselves aware of what is going on.

The recession is OVER? That's like telling a PE who's driving a cab that he is no longer unemployed. It is a bit of economic sophistry that nobody outside a college campus (or the Democrat fugue state) would ever accept.

27 months of job increases? Honestly, any Democrat politician or strategist who even hints at the word "job" during this campaign has to be a complete incompetent. It is common knowledge that the only reason the "unemployment rate" is under 15% is that so many people have either "retired" or simply given up looking for work.

The DJIA? You gotta be shittin' me. Even though the Non-Fox Media has stopped using the phrase "Jobless Recovery" (because it makes the President look bad), America understands that the rising stock market doesn't really correlate to anyone actually getting a good fucking job.

NOBODY outside the Democrat mob is buying the bullshit about Barry "inheriting" a $1.3T deficit. If he did, he inherited it from Nancy and Harry, who - if anyone cares to recall - took over Congress in 2006, not 2008. No the deficits belong to Barry, and nobody is buying his "we inherited this," bullshit any more.

As for the wars, EVERY DAY'S HEADLINES prove that Barry is pissing away any conceivable benefit that was won with the money and lives that have been spent in Iraq and Afg. To any objective observer, he is heading toward a totally disgraceful withdrawal from Afg, with America's tail between its legs.

NOBODY gives Barry any credit for the death of OBL. It is something was was going on before he came to office and he simply didn't stop it. In fact, the revelations about his "command" of the situation make it a net negative for him.

Things are looking better and better as time goes by. I don't even think the election is going to be close. Barry's approval numbers are worse than any winning incumbent in 80 years. His only hope is an October Surprise, and even that might prove a disaster for him.

It's funny how the MSM keeps focusing on flawed polling numbers to make it look like Barry is winning. You know, the ones that assume that the same number of young people, hispanics, blacks, and single women are going to vote this time as did in 2008. They (the pollsters) are trying to force the outcome that they want, but it don't work that way.

He's implying that it's not written anywhere. And it's about creating more jobs, something you seem to now think has nothing to do with the Presidential campaign.

The recession being over and the economy being completely recovered are two different things.

That still doesn't negate the jobs that have been increasing.

But it does correlate to a stronger economy, which results in more jobs being created.

You mean the people responsible for the deficit don't want to admit to creating that deficit. And recall which President lied to the American people in order to embroil us in a war in Iraq.

Let's see some of these headlines that have been printed "every day" that show this. And President George W. Bush was the one who pissed away the good will. President Obama has been left with that legacy as well.

It was something he could have stopped. It was something Defense Secretary Robert Gates advised him to stop. But he still went ahead and authorized the mission.

Translation: Any poll that shows President Obama in any sort of positive light must be flawed.

Reaper, read Biden's quote closely. The 20th century is, like, in the PAST.

So you're going to focus on an error when speaking. Because following the rest of his message to understand what he meant was too hard.

And good job ignoring everything else I said.
