It's Not 2008 Anymore: Seven Ways In Which 2012 Is Different
— Ace

Nothing super-surprising, but something to keep in mind.

2012 will be a referendum, not a choice. One of the best established findings of contemporary political science is that in presidential contests involving an incumbent, the incumbentÂ’s record is central to the publicÂ’s judgment. A race for an open Oval Office is about promises and personalities; a campaign for reelection is about the record and performance of the person currently occupying the White House. To be sure, Obama can offer his vision for the future and new proposals to flesh it out. But if the people donÂ’t approve of his record, that wonÂ’t matter much.
No more promises of bipartisanship. Obama will have to abandonÂ—or at least radically modifyÂ—the promise to heal a polarized political system that was at the heart of his rise to national prominence, starting with his dramatic address at the 2004 Democratic convention. And because his inability to foster this reconciliation has disappointed many people who voted for him in 2008, heÂ’ll have to explain why he couldnÂ’t do it in a way that redirects that disappointment toward the Republican Party and its nominee.

The most important one may be No More "Yes We Can." Obama ran in 2008, in his own words, as a "blank screen" upon which voters could "project" their hopes. He could be anything they wanted to be -- those who wanted a pragmatic problem-solver who was "post-partisan" could see that (and an impeccably creased trouser). Those who wanted a left-wing Black Hope could see that.

Well, he's not Everything to Everybody any longer. He has a record. He is not a pragmatic, post-partisan problem-solver. He is a stubborn and ignorant liberal with radical tendencies.

And he's failed. We are not faced with the interesting dilemma of policies that diminished freedom and the concept of America and yet, somehow, revved up the economy.

We're facing policies which diminished freedom, and America, and also led to the worst recession since the Great Depression.

That's not a hard call.

Yup. Mostly because that will probably mean he'll be able to tilt the SCOTUS Leftward. That would be the final, irrecoverable end. Most of his other crap we can fix - but not a complete discarding of the constitution.

Ace is right, we need to pound the economy, unemployment, and the debt every day.

Use it in casual conversation, start the talk. Sprinkle in phrases like "Boy, I am glad I have a job, unlike os many others." "We have had so many unemployed ever since Obama was elected FOUR YEARS AGO."

Is it still Bush's fault?

I was going to ...., but gas prices are too high.

37 Ace-- We're facing policies which diminished freedom, and America, and also led to the worst recession since the Great Depression. ********* The "diminished" freedom part--we are facing an encroachment on that--like we have never seen before. The more and more I look into the "individual mandate" argument the scarier it gets. The individual mandate--for the first time defines a citizen as--active--according to the formulas of a private industry. (health care insurers) That's gawd damn crazyville. No longer will the locus of control be with the individual to decide for themselves whether or not they are active, or to engage in commerce--they will be determined to be active by some external locus of control--a business formula and/or act of Congress. Once an individual has no responsibility for their own actions--and the locus of control is external--well-- that's the very definition of- insanity.

Posted by: tasker at April 13, 2012 10:06 AM (r2PLg)

38 I would think it is fair to say Obama lied. He was never into attempting any form of bi Partisan administrating. from the beginning they laughed at heckled republican from locking them out of anything to do with obamacare, to calling anyone wearing an r a racist. The hoped to have congress senate and presidency to shove Everything possible under progressive ideas down the throats of every citizen. they were shocked at 2012. lets do it some more.
imagine what today would look like if we hadn't had 2010.
he lied people fried.

41 Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the WH these days. 7 months until the election seems like a long time to me, but I bet the Obama team feels like it's a freight train bearing down on them. They've tried multiple desperate measures already and nothing works. His people will crack, some will panic, some will flee, some will fight amongst themselves. I hope it's a hellhole of stress and despair right now.

Weft,

One problem with hitting President Obama on gas prices is that they will go down again in September and October. This is a Spring through July issue.

We need to hit him on multiple issues, and unemployment is a biggie. The numbers may appear to be good, but everyone is scared for their job, or a family members job, or know people who have been out of work.

The debt is another one. Barack has run up as much debt in 3 years as Bush did in 8 years. How much will we have after 8 years of Obama?

I'm seeing a lot of Romney ads here in the Philly area, and they are really good. I know they were bought for the PA primary, but since he needs to spend all his primary money anyway he might as well run them here and define huimself positively before the Democrat attack machine can get going. The Crossroads PAC is going to beat the shit out of Obama on the economy and gas prices. I saw one of its ads last night on gas prices and it is a killer.

I and a lot of people I know have very long commutes, and these gas prices are killing us. The "commuter states" like New Jersey and Pennsylvania are definitely in play this year. The polls look very bad for Dems all the way down the ticket here - even Bob Menendez only leads by 9 points. I think Bob Casey is in trouble in PA too.

And there will be those that believe him. To what extent is yet to be seen. I just saw some doof on Megan Kelly's show up against Chris Plante and he was saying all the dire economic realities Plante threw out about Obama's mess of an economy was just fear mongering because, basically, Republicans want to take away kids' Pell Grants.....or something.

I suspect that trying to play the reverse race card would be more likely to backfire. We don't want to give them reason to 'rally around the flag'.

In 2008 in my mixed-race neighborhood there were a lot more black folks at the polling place than I normally see, especially young blacks who weren't registered (MN has same-day registration).

I don't think they need to be reminded that Obama hasn't made all their dreams come true. They already know, even if reluctant to admit it. Shoving it in their face might not be a good idea.

193 obama is able to grant any pardon he wants whenever he wants? fine. he will destroy whatever is left of his legacy. besides do you really want to go around as someone that received a presidential pardon? Let him pardon whomever he wishes. It does not mean there cannot be an investigation into the pardon recipients, the pardon process, and everything obama did. indeed, issuing pardons to people that have not been convicted of a crime is so unusual that it will invite and excuse unusual investigations. obama is not brave or strong he is a weak willed ninny that has had everything handed to him as an affirmative action grant. if he ever encountered competition he had others solve the problem for him or used his chicago style methods to get things done. when he is faced with being held accountable for his own actions he will fold.

202

President Obama paid a total federal tax rate in 2011 on adjusted income of $789,674 that may be lower than that of his secretary, even though she earned substantially less.

...

According to Wikipedia, Johnson is 31 years old and now attends Harvard Law School. I donÂ’t know about her personal life or what her deductions would be, so I canÂ’t assume any children or extra deductions.

On a $90,000 salary, she would pay $16,578 in federal taxes, $3,780 to Social Security, and $1,305 in Medicare taxes.

That adds up to a total federal tax burden of $21,663 on $90,000 in adjusted gross income, or a tax rate of 24 percent.

ObamaÂ’s federal income tax rate was 20.5 percent. If you include the Medicare and Social Security taxes paid by Obama, his total federal tax liability is 21.8 percent, fully two percent less than that of his secretary even though his adjusted gross income was nearly nine times hers.

224 ______________________________

There is another key factor difference between 2008 and 2012: the Tidal Wave Tea Party Elections of 2010.

Our Deficit/Debt Crisis has only gotten worse since the Tea Party Tsunami swept the Democrats out of the House and ground down their majority in the Senate to a maimed nub.
Why has it gotten worse?
The Senate has not passed a budget in over three years. And ObamaÂ’s Big Spending Budget Proposals have been voted down unanimously in both chambers.

The Democrats have done their level best to thwart even having an honest conversation on the subject. Voting Americans were not fooled in 2010 and they will not be fooled in 2012.

The issue of Outrageous Spending sustained by Monstrous Deficits piling into Catastrophic Debt remains radioactive to Obama and the Democrats.

And the Presidential Election will only massively raise the stakes on this critical issue which is wholly toxic to the Obama and the Democrats.

So realize that the Tea Party has not yet even cleared its throat as to begin speaking on the upcoming elections.

And it wonÂ’t be speaking in favor of Obama and the Democrats.

Rather, the Tea Party will once again SHOUT AT THE TOP OF ITS LUNGS AGAINST OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS.

And it will shout them right out of office.

Contrary to idiotic belief, the Paul Ryan Budget Proposal is not going to be politically problematic for the GOP. Â– ItÂ’s going to be a razor sharp weapon wielded against Obama and the Democrats.

ThatÂ’s why Mitt Romney has enthusiastically embraced it. And thatÂ’s why the Tea Party will enthusiastically support Romney as their Champion.

Mitt Romney is the real deal. Over the last four years, he has put together a superb campaign organization. He has a decadeÂ’s long track-record of accomplishing big, difficult goals. HeÂ’s now a seasoned campaigner Â– honed by nearly a dozen debates which included competing with intellectual heavyweight Newt Gingrich.
And in case anyone missed the primaries: Romney is fucking ferocious about going after his political opponents on substance. Â– And yet he never makes it personal.

There are good reasons to be optimistic that olÂ’ Mittens is going to surf that Tea Party Tsunami right into the White House.

They are looking for a horse to ride into November, and they can't find one, everything they have touched has turned into a flaming sack of dung... Obammercare, Stimulus, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gitmo, Solyndra/Green Energy- you name it, they have crapped all over it.

To go after Mitten's wife was a huge mistake - especially after he cried about the press going after Michelle and wanting to keep the girls out of the limelight.

Will the dead vote in traditional Donk areas - yes they will, and with the help of all of his community organizing "friends". But there is a difference now - Bammer has a record (or lack thereof) that the GOP and Mitt should be running out at every opportunity he has, and they should be rubbing his nose in it...put his ass on the defensive from now until November. That is how Mitt will win ...

From his FB page: "Some people are complaining about my choice of words at a recent town hall. How about a real discussion of the ideas and legislation sponsored by members of the Progressive Caucus? Here is a sampling of their extreme left-wing policies: --H.J. Res 34 (2011) Â– Redistribution of Wealth Amendment to the Constitution --H.R. 3784 (2012) Â– Legislation to impose windfall profit taxes and price controls on specific industries, including the creation of a Reasonable Profits Boards --H.R. 1124 (2011). Legislation to impose exorbitant federal tax rates on those that government deems to earn too much These types of policies will be economically disastrous for America and they merit a real discussion because members of Congress are actually trying to make them law."

241 The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations that President Obama announced last summer will make it impossible for 7 million lower income consumers to buy a new car according to a National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) study released today.

ObamaÂ’s proposed CAFE standards, which will begin taking effect in 2017, raise minimum average vehicle fleet fuel efficiency to 54.5 mpg by 2025. The Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimate that this regulation will raise the average price of passenger cars and light trucks by $3,000.

Â“The unintended consequences of the proposed fuel economy increases are clear,Â” NADA Used Car Guide analyst David Wagner said. Â“If the price of a vehicle goes up by the government estimate of almost $3,000, millions of people will no longer be able to finance a new vehicle.Â”

245 If you include the Medicare

is 21.8 percent, fully two percent less than that of his secretary even
though his adjusted gross income was nearly nine times hers.

Maybe SCOAMF ought to re-think that 'fair share' thing he's always on about lately. No wonder he has Hilary Rosen in charge of the War On Women meme.

247 Pass this along to Mr Allen West: April 2009 "It was quite a moment to behold," Barbara Lee said, recalling her moments with Castro. Â“It was almost like listening to an old friend,Â” said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il.), adding that he found CastroÂ’s home to be modest and CastroÂ’s wife to be particularly hospitable. Â“In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor,Â” Rush said. Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.) said Castro was receptive to President ObamaÂ’s message of turning the page in American foreign policy. "He listened. He said the exact same thing" about turning the page "as President Obama said," said Richardson. Richardson said Castro knew her name and district. "He looked right into my eyes and he said, 'How can we help? How can we help President Obama?'"

251 <<the promise to heal a polarized political system that was at the heart of his rise to national prominence, starting with his dramatic address at the 2004 Democratic convention. And because his inability to foster this reconciliation has disappointed many people who voted for him>>

Odd that the author decided to say "inability to foster" instead of the far more accurate "attempt to further polarize."

Agreed. I think if a case for profiling were to be made, he would have had to have said something like "I'm following this black kid" or "This black guy looks suspicious to me". All he did was answer a direct question put to him by the dispatcher, as far as we know. What, you have to lie to the police now when they ask you what color someone is, or you get charged with profiling?

1) he's done a lousy job as president. He's incompetent and hapless, he's just been terrible AT THE JOB, and people are tired of him.
2) people really, really are angry about "Obamacare" and want the ones in charge to pay for that. I think this is extremely underestimated by pundits everywhere. Really, really, really mad.
3) The economy stinks. This is enough on its own to sink any president.

He didn't stand up and talk about WMDs (I'm sure he had his reasons), but if you read first hand accounts, there were all the components they needed there to make it.

Plus, when Iraq turned ugly, he trusted the commanders and not the men fighting the fight. He placed his trust in those that wanted to protect their brand, not protect the mission.

But they aren't really into it as much this time. Their heart isn't in it, they're more "not a Republican" mode than the 2008 "Obama is the dreamy messiah!!!*orgasm*" mode. And he didn't win by much against an opponent nobody liked, lots feared, and in a cycle when people despised Republicans.

He's a good man with a good heart who did his best. I am grateful to him for the way he honored our servicemen and women in a time of war, and for the way he tried to protect the country from further attack. He made some fiscal decisions that didn't set well with me, but I never doubted for one moment that he and Laura loved this country, and its citizens.

413 A couple of weeks ago it was reveled that despite Obama's blatant anti-Israel and anti-Jewish comments, actions, and associates that a very solid majority of American Jews still plan to vote to re-elect Obama. That got me to asking why it is that leftists have such blind loyalty to their failed leaders. Jimmy Carter is still hailed by some as a brilliant, progressive leader. (They made a movie about how great he was a couple of years ago.) I think that I have an answer.

The left is absolutely wedded to their leftist ideology regardless of whether it fails in the sense that it makes things worse. They have this absolute loyalty because they believe that anything other than their leftist policies is inherently evil regardless of whether they actually make things better. Therefore, they look at Obama and they know that anyone who engaged in his far leftist politics would fare no better. Therefore Obama can't be blamed for his failures. It is merely the failure of the only option available since any other policies would be inherently evil.

Basically, don't criticize Baracka because he is so smart because he went to a prestigious prep school, a prestigious undergraduate school, and to Harvard Law. She left out that from 01-09 she wrote in every other week to call Bush an idiot even though he went to a prestigious prep school, Yale undergraduate, and Harvard Business school.

431 As the presidential campaign swirls around a war for the allegiance of American women, the Obama campaign is relying on an explosive Â— and highly questionable Â— charge to draw pro-choice women into the President's camp: That Mitt Romney would "outlaw abortion" if elected.

The claim first surfaced in a document posted to the campaign's website Wednesday titled, "5 Things You Need To Know About Mitt Romney." The last bullet point Â— which has been retweeted by Barack Obama and his campaign staffers over the past 24 hoursÂ— says, "He'd get rid of Planned Parenthood and outlaw abortion."

Whew!! Thank goodness. I was worried about that.

500 I have a crazy cat lady next door (who is a big wig at one of the Dept of -s in DC). Anyway, she calls me one day in a panic asking if I had noticed a strange cat hanging around. I had to say that I hadn't since I don't give a fuck about cats and wouldn't know one from another regardless . She said that one that lives down the street and is often out "unsupervised" came into her yard and "beat up" her cat and it cost her $700 in vet bills. I won't even tell you what I wanted to say then, since I know many of you like cats. But, getting me to give a fuck is not happenin'. It's really kind of sad though. Her car has a "meow" sticker.

539 Question: Why would you select for the assistant dean of admissions a fabulously ghey boy who waves like a 1930s movie star and struts and lisps upon the stage until you either have to leave or laugh? At a state school. I keep face palming myself---my son is not very, er, tolerant thinking. Is it an effort to only get applicants who are, um, fully on board?

Bingo. You are correct, "pantsuit" would have been the correct term. I see you're familiar with the breed.

I work here, I have to avoid them everyday when they aimlessly drift into the HOV lane on Route 1.

I'm really starting to hate it here.

548 Other than that, the college was incredibly beautiful. I loved it, I saw no piercings, colored hair, or tatoos. The place had a great feel and was bordered by woods, beautiful streets, and colonial williamsburg with its attendant splendor and history. I was disappointed to find out that it didn't have an engineering school. It was much more in line with what I want for them than WVU.

I don't know. I once went to a (State run) college play put on by the drama department. It was called, "Things That Go Bump In The Night". It was all about defining homophobes, and folks that were terrified of nuclear power. It was in 1976. After the review of the play, the college started collecting all sorts of "liberal arts" majors. It was very strange.
