Four years later, Obama campaign still running against Palin

Four years later, Obama campaign still running against Palin. “Running against Palin, ginning up a culture war theme… this is all focused on exciting the base…. They may be focusing on the base because… most people have already made up their minds. If so, then the only thing to be determined is turnout.” And the Democrat-Media complex will be doing their darnedest to depress GOP turnout: “Hey, unemployment’s down to 8.3%, Obama’s a shoo-in!”

  • Dont you find it hypocritical that Obama is saying or implying and using peole to say and imply that the right is waging war on women and that we should not use defamatory language against them... then to think about his beautiful daughters and that is a big no no? Then he allows defamatory language and graphics against a MOTHER who has daughters as well. Interesting n'est-ce pas? Since she is a conservative she is not a woman and therefore she can be waged war on, but Fluke is a woman because she is a liberal and therefore she needs to be treated with kid's gloves. Insanity thy name is Liberalism.

  • I think that is hysterical. He is campaigning against Sara when she isn't even running so he can claim victory in that he got more votes than she did in 2012. Ok, that was a long run on sentence but you get the point. :D

  • This just proves that "Dear Leader" is beginning to grasp at straws. His only reelection plan is the blame game, and it's getting mighty old.

    • beginning?! Haha I thought that started as soon as the "It's Bush's fault!" got rolled out. Not to mention the racism card.... If those weren't grasping at straws..... you cant mean that was his entire stategy from the get go! I won't accept it! He's just too perfect of a person!

      /snark as if it needs to be said

  • Maybe Palin is the next Bush... Bush's fault is not working as it used to. Then again Palin DIDN'T became Vice-President, she wasn't running as President, she doesn't have a position in government right now, and she did nothing to the national economy so this little campaign makes absolutely no sense. Obama is crazy or his handlers are. Pathetic.

  • Awwwwwwwwwwww, Obamee's afraid of a pretty girl.....I guess that wacko nanny and a few rounds with Larry Sinclair made him hate women, well except for the ugly liberal ones like Pelosi, Boxer, Waters, Frank et al. Maybe they all look like Larry?

    Three years in and he can't find anything to campaign about except the last erection, ah I mean election? Okay I gotta ask and this is gonna sound racist...what the hell have you been doing for three years Barack? I mean besides golfing, vacationing, and raising money..I think you owe us all a refund you putz. We paid you and you did nothing...besides piss off a very large slice of America.

    P.S. John, Olivia and Mitch still like you so that's at least three votes in 2012.

    • How was that racist? You didn't make any reference to his race.

      Negative comments toward people who happen to be of an ethnic minority are not in and of themselves racist comments.

      • Yes, Noelegy, you're right. We were just joshin' with libs who see racism in everything, regardless of content.

  • It's more along the lines of him running against his failing record than anything else... He's too stupid to realize that he's already dug the grave for his campaign...

  • Unfrickinbelievable. What a schmuck. Time for the PACs to start cranking out ads, BEFORE we have a nominee. We need to hit these guys in the mouth NOW.

  • The MSM is helping the GOP, everytime one of those DC PC's says obama has it made the more voting apathy occurs with dems. and he needs every person who voted last time

  • I hope they keep this strategy up, it will be an easy victory come November. Personally, I can't wait till we have a nominee because Obama will not get a free ride when it comes to his record (lack of it last election) this time around. I can see the attack ads now, and they are magnificent. The only reason I would want to see Romney as the nominee is because his PAC will do a number on Obama, something that impotent McCain refused to do. Though, whoever it is will no doubt take him to the mat, it will be to much fun.

    • Joe:"his (Romney's) PAC will do a number on Obama, something that impotent McCain refused to do."

      McCain's refusal to use the Reverend Wright issue in 2008, against the advice of Sarah Palin, frustrated me. In the meantime, the Obama campaign was insinuating that McCain was crazy from his POW days. Romney (if he's the nominee) doesn't appear like he's going to silently allow himself to be treated the same way.

  • Let me get this straight, be afraid of Palin, but a guy who claimed his nomination marked the beginning of the time where the rise of the oceans would recede and the earth would begin to heal is not a Utopian nut bag!? Interesting.
