He offered a kickoff video in which official Washington is ignored and even Obama himself only makes a fleeting appearance. What the campaign wanted voters to see instead were people like them speaking of real-life concerns and their faith in Obama, against wholesome backdrops in every clip: a church, a farm, a family in a kitchen, an American flag.
I wonder if Obama will "only make a fleeting appearance" for his re-election bid as well? However he is still trying to surround himself with sycophants and yes-men.
A huge part of his challenge will be to spark the voter inspiration that often got lost in the slog of governing. His new campaign video gave a nod to the challenge. A woman named Alice from Michigan said: "We're paying him to do a job. So we can't say, `Hey, could you just take some time off and come and get us all energized?' So we better figure it out."
Yup, its your fault America that Obama hasn't energized you. I mean he has to do all that crappy governing and leading and just doesn't have any time to pump you up. You have failed America to be sufficiently jazzed to see 4 more years of his hands-off, no drama, wait until the last minute to make a poor decision style.
In any case the only way Obama wins is if the GOP has Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann or Rand Paul as their candidate. I agree with their substance of cutting and debt reduction but they are not electable as President. The ideal candidate (who isn't Chris Christie) in my opinion is Paul Ryan.
I called it way back when and I think he is eminently electable. A hard worker and an economics wonk would be a perfect academic and chief. Obama is a pretender to that title and only seems intellectual because the media would do anything to protect him. An Obama v Ryan debate would finally expose Obama for the fraud he is. It will be something to watch an intellectual and policy wonk verses a pseudo-intellectual hopey-changey empty suit.
