— DrewM Yesterday Obama spoke to Associated Press' annual national meeting. When he wasn't giving them tips on the appropriate way to cover him, he was disgracing himself.
Guy Benson did his best to rundown as much of the BS from the speech as possible but it would take an entire book to get it all.
His unserious caricature of free market capitalism is hardly worth responding to. It's the equivalent of a petulant Republican president standing up and saying the Democrat vision for the country is to transform it into a North Korea-style police state. This brand of rhetoric is below the presidency, but has never been below this president. The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts helped pull America out of the recession that President Bush inherited. It led to more than 50 consecutive months of job growth and declining deficits (prior to the 2008 crisis) -- even as we spent heavily on two wars. President Obama is asking Americans to turn their backs on the "bad old days" of 5.3 percent unemployment (Bush's average) and annual deficits that look like foothills compared to today's Obama-institutionalized Himalayas of red ink. And does this president really want to gripe about previous "slow job growth"?
Lots more dismantling of Obama's strawman massacre pretending to be a speech at the link. I'm no fan of Mitt Romney (no, it's true) but he damn well better be up to the drill and beat this idiot.
One "funny" part of the speech was Obama going after Romney for using the word "marvelous".
One of my potential opponents, Governor Romney, has said he hopes a similar version of this plan [the Ryan Budget] from last year would be introduced as a bill on day one of his presidency. He says he's very supportive of this new budget and he even called it marvelous -- which is a word you don't often hear when it comes to describing the budget. [laughter] It's a word you don't often hear generally. [Laughter].
Ah, that's quite the knee slapper there!
This of course got liberal hack Tommy Christopher all excited...look Obama is race-baiting Romney! Isn't it wonderful?
Now, on the surface, this appears to just be a jab at RomneyÂ’s reputation as an ownerÂ’s box-dwelling, out of touch Monopoly guy who canÂ’t connect with voters. But is it possible thereÂ’s more to it? Has the Obama campaign made a conscious decision to draw a contrast between stiff, uber-Caucasian Romney and their looser, more relatable candidate? Can we look forward to jokes about RomneyÂ’s lack of rhythm, or hyper-vigilant style of driving?No, it hasnÂ’t, but as much of a reach as this whole theory is, who wouldnÂ’t absolutely love to hear the right wing try to make that case?
I love the last line. Christopher writes a whole post about how awesome that line was and how only a crank conservative would claim Obama is making a race based appeal. The only problem with Tommy's theory is no one on the right said anything like that. In fact, Christopher is the only person I've seen equate "Marvelous" with "White guy". but then he denies it's his theory, just that of non-existant conservatives.
I don't think Obama was doing anything of the sort, I think he was just being a jackass. Christopher however obviously wishes Obama was doing it and was willing to goose along the idea all while being to cowardly to admit it's his pet theory.
Oh and if using "marvelous" makes you a "stiff, uber-Caucasian", meet Barack Obama, the whitest man in the world.

Excuse me, I must take to my fainting couch upon hearing this. My world, it is tilting.
I'm still thrilled that the 5th Circuit is making DOJ put up or shut up about whether the Executive Branch really really really means it when they say the judiciary can't overturn laws.

Seriously? Tommy Christopher was seriously making the case that "marvelous" is some kind of racial code word? WTF? Where the hell did he get that colossal brain fart? And why on earth would he assume that conservatives would immediately jump to that conclusion instead of the infinitely more appropriate conclusion, which is that Obama is a petulant brat with the emotional maturity of a two year old?

I honestly think we should start appending "white" to anyone's racial self-identification when that individual has at least one white parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent. It would be hilarious.

Well, round about my way here in NH it's not unusual to see chickens in otherwise urban environments. Just last month when I was driving here in Concord (our capital city) I noticed a white hen scratching with great determination at a patch of dirt in front of a duplex near the I93 off-ramp. I hope she got the worm she was after; she was really giving it her all.
Mind you, NH urban and "everywhere else outside of northern New England" urban is laughably different.

"The president put an ad out yesterday, talking about gasoline prices and how high they are," Romney said. "And guess who he blamed? Me! Maybe after I'm president, I can take responsibility for things I might have done wrong. But this president doesn't want to take responsibility for his mistakes. I mean, you talk about someone who is running as far away from Harry Truman's dictum as possible. Harry Truman had the sign on his desk that said, 'The buck stops here.' But this president is always looking for somewhere else to point."

I'd rather Mittens just called Barky an inept, America-hating retard. If he wants to throw Barky, all Mittens has to do is ask him a simple math problem ... maybe just something like, "What is 2/3 - 5/11?"
Even better would be if Mittens demanded to know what "profit AND earnings ratios" are supposed to be and in what retarded school someone could even learn of such an insane "concept".
Chances of Mittens doing any of this? -3000%
Mittens prefers to take the "he's a nice guy but in over his head, the poor thing." We're going to have carry Mittens' pathetic carcass over the finish line ourselves, since he's going to be doing everything possible to lose.

As much as I hate to say it, it's very, very good.
If you remember that he's not even trying to communicate facts, but only communicate emotion (yes: every speech of Obama's boils down to "Republicans Bad! Me, Good!"), those are very evocative statements. Why do you think CNN ran with the tornadoes in DFW so quickly yesterday? Because they care about a bunch of "bitter clingers" in Texas?
Obama voters are not going to vote on the Facts. Too many of them vote purely on emotion. And he's appealing to those voters (who, yes, he's starting to lose- because part of their emotional state is how much money they have to sink into their gas tank each week).

I'm sticking to my theory that Obama is operating from the assumption that he benefits if he can goad Mitt into saying something harsh about him in return.
Now, I realize it might make us all feel good if Mitt were to say something along the lines of "Obama is a SCOAMF, and his mother smells of elderberries," but somewhere in the depth of the Romney campaign, they have polling data that shows that he risks looking like a mean, white guy if he does.
So Obama will escalate the attacks, and Romney will consistenty bat them away. In the end, Obama will overplay his hand, just like each and every one of Romney's R opponents have done.
I may not be Romney's biggest fan, but I do think this is smart strategy, and has been all along.
