Now I don't work for the RNC (I know that surprises some of you, but it's true.), but if I did I certainly would NOT have allowed a side by side comparison of President Obama and the Master of Milquetoast Monotones himself, Mittens R-Money.
I mean seriously, do they REALLY think this comparison shows Romney in a good light?
But you know they are very, very unhappy with the President going onto these college campuses and late night programs. And do you know why?
Because it is working!

"Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) lambasted President Obama this week for creating a voter outreach group called “African-Americans for Obama,” calling the move “worse than sad.”
Gingrey’s comments came on the G. Gordon Liddy radio show Tuesday."
The last time I checked, there was no such thing as African-American citizen. To the contrary, there are AMERICANS of African descent, that are full citizens. See the difference. Don't fall for that same old GOP racist bullshit. This is their age old attempt to marginalize certain members of our citizenry. Voter outreach should be the goal for ALL of our politicians. What are they (GOP) really afraid of in 2012?
DeleteRep. Phil Gingrey, you need to wash you sheets and hood in KKKlorox.
Lets all say it together one more time with feeling, FUCK THE GOP.
ReplyDeleteFUCK THE GOP!!
DeleteI'm with you, but can I hire someone to, you know, do the fucking part? Have you seen the men of the GOP? :shudder:
DeleteWTF?
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't told us, I would have thought I was watching a DNC ad. Wow, just wow.
That GOP ad is hella bad!
ReplyDeleteI hope they didn't spend much.
The President speaks
ReplyDeleteHis words are artful and sage
Romney cannot win
F the RNC and their wormy little chairman Rancid Penis. They have nothing, stand for nothing and have done nothing to help this country in well over a decade.
ReplyDeleteThere is not one Republican program, bill, or law passed in this century that has helped the American people. Not a single one. Everything they have done has turned to shit...the wars, the Bush tax cuts, Dept of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, No Child Left Behind, Gitmo, I could go on. Mitt Romney will take us right back to 2001 and the Golden Era of Dubya faster than you can blink if he's elected.
I notice how very excited the people who are standing behind Romney in the ad are. Ya, excited.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Me too. And I noticed that poor tired little boy being carried on the shoulder of a man behind Mitten's. Yeah this crowd is on the edge of its seat with excitement!
DeleteAnd notice how they carefully edited out the cheers and applause Obama received.
DeleteIt's a dirty job, but some people will do anything for fifty cents!
DeleteWhy when watching President Obama speaking to a crowd do we see outstretched hands, smiles, rapt expressions and buildings/arenas occupied to the max; then with Romney, the people behind him look bored, no smiles, and they pan the audience in front so quick, you cannot tell how many people are there (or not there if you get my drift)!
ReplyDeleteBecause a lot of conservatives are miserable, repressed, stunted people who fear change. When we lived in east TX, we would go out to dinner about once a week or so. My husband and I would "people watch" while we were in the restaurants. We would always notice and comment to each other later about how unhappy some of the families looked! It was amazing. Dads would be sitting there not talking to the mom or kids...moms looked unhappy. These same people would be rude to staff (especially at the Japanese steakhouse that was run by a nice Chinese couple and their staff). We lived that for three years and didn't let the door hit us on the way back to CA!
DeleteGood for you!
DeleteLOL!
DeleteWe don't get out much, but the only reason I can see why President Obama gets such a great reception from the crowds is because of President Obama's knack for communicating and engaging with people in a meaningful way.
He relates to people because he knows what matters most. He doesn't tear people down, he lifts them up because he remembers where he came from, who he is, and where he's headed.
He's wealthy but not spoiled, his heart's in the right place. His smiles are contagious.
Romney? Meh, a tomato without salt- wishy washy and no clue as far as "social graces"
President Obama will win 4 more years in November and I can't wait to see rightwing nutjobs' heads exploding nationwide. They actually think President Obama has done a poor job as President because they've been brainwashed by FoxNews and/or don't like black people. They actually think their guy Willard has a chance! LMFAO. Man they are in for a shock come November. The best part is: There's absolutely nothing they can do to stop Obama's reelection. They are helpless, worthless and useless. GOP/Repubs = The Taliban of America; neanderthals stuck in the stone age. Imagine how much better our country would be without them?
ReplyDeleteMitt has about as much personality as a mannequin.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, though a mannequin is much more sincere and has much more heart than Mitty does.
DeleteHehehe! Truer words were never spoken.
DeleteHe is a star and they hate that he is:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHRUcin2kJ4&feature=
Our GORGEOUS First Lady is gorgeous! And genuinely loving. I so admire and respect her.
ReplyDeletehttp://theobamadiary.com/2012/04/26/take-our-daughters-and-sons-to-work-day/
Yes. And I never saw her whine nor complain. She does everything with such grace!
DeleteIt must just FRY them that our PRESIDENT is so articulate and connects to the people.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, they're stuck with what was laughably voted as the "best" of a long slate of clowns and sweating that they don't make the same grave error in running mate selection as they did in 2008.
Can you even GET magic underwear in a wad?
THIS is why they are attacking him so viciously. They see how people respond and how much they love him and it scares the shit out of them because Mr. Moneybags Romney is an absolute DUD next to our dynamic, youthful, energetic, brilliant president.
ReplyDeleteSo, like Jr High idiots, they have to throw everything at him, and hope that something sticks, but much to their dismay, it doesn't.
People know what they see, what they hear, and if it is sincere and forthcoming. They clearly like and trust and support their President Barack Obama.
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/04/25/iowa-2/
What's pissing the GOP off is that President Obama enjoys a popularity like that of President Kennedy, worldwide. Mitt Romney can't even excite his base...how sad is that.
DeleteDid you see the Fux News' and Rush's faux outrage on LOD's show over the Preezy being on Jimmy Fallon? Are there any conservatives that have any sense of humor at all??
ReplyDeletehttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45755883/vp/47183511#47183511
Their sense of humor is offensive, but when you call them on it, they blame you for not having a sense of humor.
DeleteExactly...I almost added that they have a sense of humor if it involves insulting or putting down others.
DeleteOf course! And they're not even embarrassed.
DeleteI know, even if you try you cannot stay interested in Romney. Here's the email I sent to The Daily Dish after they posted it calling the GOP going sanctimonious:
ReplyDeleteThere is more political vision and content in Obama's slow jam than there is in any 5 Romney speeches, no matter how they edit him. "I love America, people are tired, success success success," does not a presidential campaign make.
I can't imagine anyone feeling like they learned something from a Romney speech, where as Obama packs a punch with most sentences, even when 'jammin'.'
Yet we had to guess he was trying to convert us to socialistic practices. Yes, that's a real good communicator. NOT. WHy couldn't he be upfront about his agenda? Or his intentions? Or his life? Why sick his thugs on the media to stop any real criticism?
ReplyDeleteWHY didn't you take your meds today?
DeleteBut thanks for the laugh anyway.

DeleteSTFU Krusty!
What the HELL are you sputtering on about? Thugs? What thugs? The only thugs I know are Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and well, there's pretty much anyone at Fox, on right wing radio and in the conservative press. Both the men and women. Petty, snarky, nasty, not very bright, losers who Fox gave a second chance to. Thugs pretending to be journalists with some fucked up opinion about something they know nothing about.
DeleteAnd you show your utter ignorance of anything historical or political if you spew the GOP talking points about socialistic practices. Go do some homework to find out what REAL socialism is. Using a dog whistle on this blog doesn't get much attention.
You will so pee in your dirty little panties when President Obama is re-elected for four more years, so put on your diapers, crybaby, you're gonna need them.
Do you have ANY facts to go along with this pile of horseshit you call a posting?
Deletere: 2:25, why don't you try thinking for a change, instead of listening to and swallowing everything fox news, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh or Palin throw at you? Because the thing is; you're very uninformed and paranoid. I know, I know, that's the way they like to keep their voters but you aren't doing yourself, your family or your community any favors by believing the nonsense. You just aren't.
Delete1) What on earth are you babbling about? You don't make any sense whatsoever.
Delete2) You obviously do not have the slightest idea what socialism is.
3) He has been very upfront about his intentions and his agenda. Of course, if all you watch or listen is are the Fox/Rush (ignorant, lying, or both) blowhards, of course you won't know this.
4) He has written not one, but two, autobiographies. Everything you need to know about his life is out there and easy to find, if you are an honest, open-minded person.
4) What thugs? The right-wing corporate controlled media is always willing to air the latest Republican talking points. Anyone who thinks the media is controlled by the left-wing is probably stupid enough to wear their underpants for a hat.
5) You packed an amazing amount of willful, purposeful stupidity and ignorance into one short paragraph.
Why are you allowed a computer in the mental health facility?
DeleteAnother rabid Glenn Beck mental case. These people have fallen for Beck's fantasy, and can't defend themselves if you ask them a follow up question to their comment. Just like Sarah, have you ever seen anyone on FOX ask her a follow up question to any of her statements. You won't, and I believe she has it written into her contract that they will never do so.
DeleteThis person can make a hit and run comment, like she did, but can't reply to anyone because she is too shallow in her knowledge and is not capable of answering any questions.
Pathetic, must suck to be you!
DeleteLooking at this from a right wing point of view - I can see how they thought it would stir up anger among the old white men, (See our serious concerned father figure of Morman Mitt. And that - that disrespectful black man making fun of serious issues!!) but it is an epic fail if they think ads of this type will engage the younger voters and make them consider Romney a more effective communicator than Obama.
ReplyDeleteThe McLame campaign tried this in 2008 too.

LANDSLIDE!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2012/general
All this shows is that the Republicans have learned NOTHING from the Palin fiasco. It's all about superficial appearance.
ReplyDelete"See? OUR guy totally LOOKS like a President! That makes him 'better'!"
If the Republican'ts want to shock me, then they should forget the play acting, drop the manufactured "controversies" and ignore opportunities to push the "felled socialist policies" meme and instead focus entirely on telling us how they would do things "the right way".
Pissing on someone else's ideas is easy. providing real, detailed, verifiably sound solutions is HARD.
Or... they can continue soliciting the support of "people" like "Confederate flag poster boy" Bocephus, Rush "sex tourist" Limbaugh and Ted "the draft-dodging pedophile" Nugent.
I wonder which route they will choose.....?
Hahah, I'm kidding. We know they're going with Nugent.
The supreme irony in Mitt Romney being the Republican nominee is that he is exactly what Sarah Palin has been asking for: Anybody But Obama.
ReplyDeleteNo one wants Mitt. Since the start of the primary season last year, no one wanted Mitt. Republicans tried as hard as they could to rally support for every other candidate available - Donald Trump, Michele Bachman, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, the local dog catcher, etc. They tried to make every one of them work. Remember last year when even "unknown Republican" placed higher in polls? Sarah thought that was an indications that voters would accept even some unknown, generic Republican over Obama but what it really indicated was that the Republican Party had such a lineup of losers that voters were hoping someone with a brain might still come along. But that never happened.
No one wants Mitt. Mitt wins the nomination not because anyone wants him, but because he had enough cash to outlast his opponents. All his endorsements from fellow Republicans have been lukewarm (except for the enthusiastic endorsement from ted Nugent!). No one wants to be his running mate. Did you see when he rented out the Detroit Tigers stadium and the stands were empty? He couldn't even fill the seats on the field.
No one wants Mitt. He's just the last man standing. He is Anybody but Obama. The truly frightening thing is that he stands a real chance of getting elected. The 1% is determined and the likelihood of voter fraud in this election is very high. All one has to do is look at the support Obama has compared to Romney and the outcome is evident. There simply is no way Romney can win legitimately.
I want to see the bumper sticker "Anybody But Obama 2012" and his running mate "Some Sorry Loser Who Got Roped Into This"
LOVE your comment!
DeleteYour second to last paragraph scares the bajeezus outta me, though, b/c I know it's true!!
The Republicans must think that the rest of us are as dumb as Sarah Palin. Don't believe what you see folks; this guy can't communicate. All I have to say is they a'int seen nothin' yet. Obama is just getting started. My hope is that the President has some coat tails allowing those Dems down ballot to win the day. What a day that will be. A second term for Obama and Pelosi gets back the Speaker's gavel.
ReplyDeleteWhile Obama Lives It Romney Can’t Comprehend America’s Exceptionalism
ReplyDelete...For the past three years, Republicans accused President Obama of not promoting America as an exceptional nation even though he raised America’s standing in the eyes of the world and saved the economy from the devastation left by eight years of Bush Republicans. Romney spent the past six months accusing President Obama of not recognizing America’s exceptionalism, but his plans will take America in a direction that will make it exceptional as a land of poverty-stricken and uneducated people.
Romney has assailed the President for apologizing for America’s wanton warmongering in the Middle East, and specifically decried the President for “repeatedly apologizing for “American misdeeds, both real and imagined.” Apparently, Romney believes America is so exceptional that it need not apologize for its misdeeds and it is Bush policy all over again. Romney’s point was that President Obama is not a real American and his campaign message has been that the President “does not believe in the American Experiment” even though President Obama is the poster child for how the American experiment of hard work, study, and diligence pays off in a truly exceptional country.
Romney’s idea of American exceptionalism can be best characterized by his recent budget proposal that drastically slashes education spending and his assertion that a minimum wage job defines the middle class. Last month, Romney asserted that jobs paying $19,000 annually will make the US “the best place in the world to be middle class again,” but according to the Office of Management and Budget, $19,000 is below the $22,314 federal poverty level for a family of four. As it stands now, 46.2 million people are living in poverty and if Romney has his way, nearly every American will be below the poverty level unless they are in Romney’s wealthy elite category of earners. In order to maintain the high poverty numbers Romney champions as “middle class,” he gave an indication that keeping Americans uneducated is key to perpetual poverty or as Romney calls it; middle class.

Not a smart move to put out an ad showing Mitt side by side with our brilliant, young president. Especially when the ad shows Mitt saying "I see children even more successful than their parents, some successful even beyond their wildest dreams and others congratulating them for their achievements, not attacking them for it". Patting himself on the back again - he's so full of himself.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP is desperate and it shows. OBAMA 2012. Don't forget to vote for D's down-ticket - get him some help in both houses and around the country.
Sarah Palin's once again has exhibited her extreme ignorance and lack of compassion, only this time she hits an all time high. Without obviously having any experience or knowledge of farming, which has the second highest death and injury rate only surpassed by harvesting of timber. Palin claims that America would fail if children were banned from working on farms. Of course, children are injured and killed on farms in high numbers as compared with other jobs they are capable of doing. But, she doesn't seem to know that or is concerned by the numbers
ReplyDeleteIn addition, Palin has exhibited the lowest form of human compassion by doing a radio interview of the Republican who is running for Gabby Gifford's seat. Palin apparently doesn't seem to be too concerned how her "blood liable" speech spoke so poorly against her that she is getting involved again. It seems as if she is seeking another reason where she can plead the victim from the public's reaction to this brainless move.
Please excuse any grammatical mistakes I may made due to my anger on this.
That ignorant Bitch has no shame, and no name. Don't let her into your head. Ignore her like the POTUS does. She is simply the BITCH.
DeleteBe very aware and concerned about VOTER SUPPRESSION by the Republican Party in the 2012 election. Contact your local officials, and the DOJ if you hear or experience any such illegal activities. Make sure that you are registered, and coordinate voter registration drives in your communities. Get prepared now to get every piece of ID assembled and ready to go; ie. Drivers License, Birth Certificates, Voter Registrations, Passports, Social Security cards, photo ID(s), Tax Returns, whatever you can think of. Also, vote early, so if the try to pull a fast one, you will have enough time to file official complaints with the appropriate authorities, prior to the actual election deadline.
ReplyDeleteThere is too much at stake to take anything for granted in 2012. We must stop these RNC storm troopers right in their jack boots. The time to mobilize and organize is NOW.
Concerning that the GOP has shown its true colors as regards women's rights, voter rights, and democracy itself: witness Michigan and Wisconsin, we cannot let them get back in the White House AND we have to give the Dems. a fierce, clear majority in Congress. Now, if there was only a way to boot or retire Scalia and his ilk from the Supreme Court. I bet if the Justice Dept. staged a raid on his offices and confiscated computers, they'd find some very interesting things.

OMG! It comes across as a pro-Obama commercial!
ReplyDeleteRomney is such a liar, phony and flip-flopper. All he does is try to bash President Obama while hoping no one will notice how much the President has accomplished, and how he is looking out for ALL Americans. The Republicans can't stand it that President Obama relates so well with the middle class and poor, young people, and women.
ReplyDeleteRomney is a cold fish that doesn't care about the little guys one bit. All he's about is favoring the wealthiest and huge corporations. Not only is he as bad as Bush was, and has the same policies that absolutely did not work, he's even worse! Bush on steroids - he would be an absolute DISASTER as POTUS!
Something tells me the first debate between Mitt 'it's my time' Romney and Obama will be surreal. Mitt can't be sincere to save his life and Obama is not only REAL, the man knows his facts and can debate.
DeleteM from MD
The GOP has decided to give up 2012, they have no ideas on how to contend with an up and coming economy have effectively. They will have to wait before their' we would have done" meme hits with anyone.
ReplyDeleteBTW Hats off to Al Franken "for defending the rights of abused women on the senate floor".
Paul and Sheila would be proud, continue to make my home state proud and live up to Paul's legacy.
Signed Little Rabbit
They KNOW the President beat them to the punch with the youth vote. Team Obama knows it's demographics well, which battles to pick, and most of all timing. Romney, during that speech, actually came back to the mic (after being spoon fed what Obama did) and professed that he supports cutting tuition costs.
ReplyDeleteThis was strategy at it's best. Students might not read blogs, or watch the news, but they damn well are on college campuses, watch late night comedy, and read "The Rolling Stone"
The GOP, on the other hand, trot him out on Fox and place ads in NRA magazines, soldier of fortune, and Robb's Report.
Did anyone catch Ann Romney speaking about how this race has taken it's toll on her M.S., that it's hard work, long hours, and poor food choices? At times she was so tired, she'd introduce Mitt to the crowd, then retreat to the bus to rest. She "Can't wait" to get back to her "Alternative Medicine", riding her Dressage horses for therapy. Yeah, I know it's rough being Ann Romney. But some people with M.S. don't have the option of "Dressage riding as Therapy"
In the mean time, Rush went after Sandra Fluke, along with another republican woman. The topic? Sandra Fluke tweeted that she just got engaged. The Republican woman tweeted back "Fluke Engaged? To a woman? or a man?.
