Join Attack

The Obama campaign looks to recreate the winning impertinence of the 2008 crusade of the pesky Blue kids who overwhelmed imperious Mrs. Clinton and stormed past the grouchy John McCain.
Early buzz suggest that the remake, Yes We Can Part II, is a flop in rehearsals. A sitting presidency is not an office that gets through a day without being pummeled by some unusually determined cranks.
The White House may be without a theme that makes sense. The ingenue spirit is gone with the jobless rate of the under 30. The results for 32 months of the administration are mixed to weak. Spoke with John Fund, at Hoover, who remarked that the nation hired a candidate without executive experience, and what we got was a president who thinks of himself and his victimhood first and second, who promotes his re-election to the exclusion of his own party in addition to the unaligned and the merely jobless nobodies.
Responding to the remarks of other politicians does not require extra care and snitches: it is dialogue, debate, electioneering.
This is an election about the fate of the nation, about policy that has not worked as foretold, about an executive who continues to play class warfare games rather than listen to other opinions of the jobs strike.
The farce that followed quickly because of this trite construction may be a harbinger of more fail ahead. The gang that couldn’t snitch straight.
Hint, it’s not about you, Mr. President; it never was.
