PANIC: OBAMA CAMPAIGN ALREADY COMING OFF THE RAILS
It’s only Tuesday, but it has already been a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week for the Obama campaign. Saddled with increasingly bad economic data, the campaign has been doggedly trying to change the subject to anything other than jobs and deficits. We’ve been treated to a mythical GOP “war on women”, a “debate” on birth control, a “road to Damascus” moment on gay marriage, an “expose” of Romney “bullying” in high school, and the burning question of who is a better pet owner. Unfortunately for Obama and his allies in the media, none of it is working.
Yesterday’s CBS/NYT poll makes it very clear that voters care about only one thing: The Economy. The only other issues that registers in the double-digits? Government spending and deficits–not exactly a winning issue for Obama. Not only do voters not care about the social issues Obama and the media are fixated on, there are signs that focus is backfiring. The biggest shift in voter sentiment in the CBS poll was among women, who, in just one month, shifted their support from Obama to Romney. In April, Obama had led Romney by six points among women. Today, women prefer Romney by two points.

Maybe he should hire a campaign strategists who doesn’t get their poll info from “The View”.
But then again I hope he never fires whoever this dumbshit is.

I recall reading a couple of months ago about Obama being ready to snap, often losing his cool. I’m betting he won’t be able to maintain his cool in public all the way to the election, especially as things are looking worse and worse for him. Looking forward to that entertaining day, and to the damage control efforts that follow!

Nice reference to the kid’s book Alexander’s Terrible, Horrible, No-good, Very bad Day

Romney is a boring, uninspiring flip-flopping preppie. And kind of a dork. He has all the dance moves and charisma of a 2×4. He’s the kind that most of us couldn’t stand when we were growing up.
That oh-so-cool Obama is getting whupped by the Great White Geek is the
most
awesome
thing
ever!!!

People are starting to realize a 2nd Obama term would make Pol Pot look like Winnie the Pooh- what else to make of FEMA camps’ expansion and DHS buying 600M rounds

This is what the man looks like underneath now that the “shine” has worn off him. Too much tarnish on the hero’s armour, feet made of clay, heart made of dust.
It ain’t pretty to see that the leader of the free world is nothing but a nasty Chicago Machine politician.

Be prepared, at some point Obalynski’s desperation tactic will be scorched earth demagoguery, followed by outright theft of the vote, if that doesn’t work.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Remain vigilant.

@Stirrin – Yep, the progs have fielded their most erudite, well educated and accomplished son and when he burns in he takes all their cred with him.
It’s going to turn downright nasty and violent on a scale they only see south of the border.
But, we’re winning.
Hold the line.

Weldor: Did you see the article on Drudge where the roving black youths beat up a marine. The video makes you sick. Election night and the Obamanation loses, people better get prepared. Of course they were all wearing hoodys too. I’m rethinking my position on the hoody targets.

Can anyone tell me the last time a week was not considered to be a bad one for the administration? I think this current streak started with the oral arguments for obamacare at the scotus

@Brad – And, of course, there were the 2 white reporters that got thug slugged by a band of black youths here in VA a couple of weeks ago. Their own prog paper buried the story, but O’Reilly ran with it. Holder has refused to investigate it as a hate crime.
Shocker.
As for being prepared, I’ve recently reevaluated my threat matrix and have adjusted accordingly.
And Rule 20 is always in effect…

Weldor: What concern me is these are just the attacks that are leaking out. You know the media is doing there best to keep a lid on this. I’m afraid the first volley has already gone off in the race war this administration so desperately wanted. New rule for light skinned people. If confronted by several black hoody wearing youths, and they ask you for something in your pocket, you are about to get sucker punched. Cowardly bastards.

RE- Black on White crime epidemic: where’s the KKK when ya need ‘em to take care of these troublemakers? Srsly, it’s no different than Blacks forming a lynch mob to hang Zimmerman, who was only protecting his neighborhood from a teenage gangsta
Blacks need to go back to appreciating and/or putting in an honest day’s labor for what they want/have — like certain Whites, Asians and conservative Hispanics already do — rather than demanding more of what they never earned, and if by force then so be it

America 2012: A Nation at Risk
“Stuff” is happening in America today that our country has rarely witnessed in our 224 year old history and none of it is propitious for our future.
True, we have suffered through other major crises, but never so many at the same time.
We survived the Revolution and early wars and revolts against our nationhood; we weathered a bloody Civil War; we eventually overcame the Great Depression; we struggled through the upheavals of the Civil Rights Movement the Viet Nam War protests; we mostly recovered from the horrors of September 11th, 2001; we lost thousands of our brave troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and some believe we actually won those wars.
However, we have never endured so many contemporaneous, dire threats to our national security, our fiscal future, our way of life, our cherished values, and our national character as we are witnessing today.
America made a grave mistake in November, 2008, a terrible mistake which, in the brief span of three and a half years, has served to greatly intensify those dire threats.
To be sure, the election of President Barack Hussein Obama did not incite crazed Muslim terrorists to launch an unprovoked war against the “Great Satan” and the entire Western world; that war has been ongoing for decades and has been smoldering for centuries.
What Obama has done is to minimize the magnitude of the dangers posed by Islam and has catered to, literally bowed to, the very Muslim potentate whose country hatched and financed 9/11.
He declared that a war on terrorism didn’t exist and then announced that the non-existent war was over by virtue of the defeat of al-Qaeda and our supposed victories in Iraq and Afghanistan, neither of which is a valid assumption.
He established domestic security measures which are more smoke and mirrors than actual safety nets. Perhaps the most telling feature of this commander-in-chief’s perspective on Americans’ safety was his 2010 concession to Fareed Zakariah that we are “resilient” enough to “bounce back” after nuclear attacks.
We were woefully unprepared for the Second World War. We are far more vulnerable in this, the Third World War, thanks to our president.
Should we somehow succeed in overcoming Muslim forces intent on destroying the America we love, we would still have to contend with the Great Recession, an economy which began to implode in 2008 and which shows few signs of real recovery.
The Obama administration’s total disregard for fiscal sanity and racking up trillions of dollars in unprecedented national deficits and debt has already cost the United States its long-standing AAA credit rating with no hope of paying our bills in sight.
The administration’s obsession with socialistic social programs such as food stamps, multi-billion dollar boondoggles and bailouts, and oppressive environmental regulations have stifled job growth and fostered dependency among the millions of the poor and the unemployed.
In brief, our economy and our society are a critical mess, a disaster as beneficial to Obama’s re-election prospects due to that widespread dependency as it is destructive of the human spirit.
Wars and rumors of war combined with economic malaise would be more than sufficient to effect America’s downfall. Unfortunately, there’s much more on our dismal plate: The social fabric which is supposed to bind us together and define us as a nation is disintegrating as rapidly as the integrity of our borders. . . .

…BTW & FTR I’m not really advocating killing Blacks, by me or the KKK…just scared of how many Blacks are killing White innocent bystanders lately “just because” of being White” and no one including our racist overlords who happen to be Black will do a d*mn thing about it. I’d rather reach my goal of living healthy wealthy and wise to past 100, and each of us “live and let live,” than become another statistic ignored by TPTB for being the wrong color or some real or perceived historical slight on the part of people not even related to me…
IOW, in a “kill or be killed” situation no matter who it is, pretty sure we’d all do the same thing
