Aren't These the Only Thing Obama Needs to Say for the Next 3 Months?

[Doctor Jack]

To senior citizens: "By this time next year, your social security and medicare could very well be gone."

To students: "By this time next year, there may be not money left for you to finish your degrees."

To the poor: "By this time next year, there may be not food for your children."

To women: "By this time next year, you may very well have no more health care."

"All so people like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan can pay no taxes."


How could Obama not turn out senior citizens, students, the working class, and women at this point?

1. Only Thing Obama Needs to Say

Should be.....Don't underestimate the willful ignorance and sheer stupidity of very large portions of the voting public....

[rfranklin]

2. I second that emotion...

my first thought on reading the OP.

Would racism be covered under "willful ignorance?"

[Doctor Jack]

3. Don't underestimate Obama

I wonder how many times, the media, the republicans, and even Obama's own supporters have claimed he is in trouble or he can't win this time. Back in May of this year, I was reading what all of the political "experts" were saying and they acted like Obama was down and out. Charlie Cook wrote an article about how Romney has this general election wrapped up and all he needs to do is pick a nice, safe, bland VP and everything will be golden. Of course fast forward to today and Obama is up by 7+ points and Romney pulled the most desperate move we have seen since....the last republican nominee. Everyone underestimates the man and he always has the last laugh. This time will be no exception.

6. He is the "rope-a-dope" President.

his opponents get tired running around trying to hit him but can't lay a glove on him and then he lays them out with one wind up haymaker punch.
He is 'The Greatest".

[Doctor Jack]

16. I don't know if it is obama or his advisors

But he always seems to out maneuver the competition.

[TeamPooka]

18. after the Bin Laden call I'm pretty sure it's him.

4. Add the Hispanic situation.

[JDPriestly]

5. All Obama needs to do is remind voters how much the Ryan philosophy

resembles Bush's idea of the "ownership society," and how that worked out.

So many Americans lost their homes and businesses due to the "ownership society" propaganda. Just a reminder will bring people back to reality.

11. Ownership society? I thought that was George Carlin thing. As in, "They OWN you."

[longship]

7. A good start. There are many more in that vein.

LGBT: By this time next year you could have to go back into the closet.

Hispanics: BTTNY, either deported or harassed by authorities.

High School students: BTTNY, no biology, no history, but lots of fundementalist Christianity.

Moslems: BTTNY, forget about practicing your religion.

Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists: See Moslems.

Etc.
Sic transit Gloria mundi.

17. BTTNY? n/t

[socialist_n_TN]

21. I'm pretty sure that's shorthand for......

"By this time next year."

[LadyHawkAZ]

22. Ah. Thanks. n/t

[longship]

23. That is correct, but you didn't phrase your response as a question.

[McCamy Taylor]

8. He needs to use positive language. "I'm gonna SAVE Medicare."

"I'm gonna SAVE Social Security". "I'm gonna SAVE your child's future."

Let Mitt be Mr. Negative.

[sakabatou]

9. +1

[tclambert]

12. I disagree. Romney and Ryan will claim they want to save Medicare, too.

Although Obama's surrogates and pro-Obama super-PACs might be the better ones to say the negative things about the Republicans. The winning move is to make sure people see that Obama will save Medicare and Romney will destroy it. You have to have both sides, or a lot of people who make no effort to question what they hear on the TeeVee machine will believe it when Romney says he will save Medicare, cut wasteful spending (except for Defense), cut everybody's taxes, and still balance the budget.

I want him to go for the jugular and not just turn Romney into a national joke, but attack Republicanism and make their whole philosophy look like the disgrace it is.

[leftstreet]

14. I remember when he ran on 'Universal Healthcare' and 'Green Jobs' !!1111

So now it's just 'hey the other guy is bad'

[McCamy Taylor]

10. Dear Obama, please ignore the advice given in the thread header.

I know Doctor Jack means well. But it would be a terrible mistake to run a negative campaign. Same goes for all the Democrats who are writing online in support of Obama. The GOP would just LOVE for us to run a negative campaign, because that is all they are legally allowed to run with their SuperPac money which can only be used to criticize, not to support. By November, Mittens is gonna be perceived of as the Grinch.

[Doctor Jack]

15. Negative works

John Kerry went with the principle of running a positive campaign and look how that ended up. He should have won by 20 points but instead he was pummeled by George Bush, of all people.

How do you deal with a bully? Do you give them hugs and try to play nice or do you beat the living shit out of them until they are weeping in the fetal position while everyone else stands around and laughs? The democrats will never win elections by trying to play nice. The republicans are violent bullies and they will never play fair, so neither should the dems. Not attacking Romney/Ryan will just handicap obama and he could very well lose. He needs to keep doing what he has been doing, rain blows down onto Romney until he can't think straight.

13. I think you are missing the point...

They plan on running a total Fear the debt campaign, 16 Trillion national debt, trajectory that places it well over 20 trillion in the next four years if nothing is seriously done. They will talk about how the national debt is the number one national security issue because failure to cut entitlement programs or reform them drastically will result in dragging the entire U.S. economy into bankruptcy in a few short years, to tell the truth the debt trajectory supports their position on this and they will claim that to think that we can tax our way out of this is fantasy there aren't enough Millionaires and Billionaires in the USA to deal with the current debt and deficit projections without serious reforms to the entitlements....

So to every point you made they will just say if we don't fix the programs it will ultimately be completely ended through austerity...

This may or may not work it really depends on what the President's response is to the burgeoning debt and coming fiscal crisis...

[Hutzpa]

19. He needs to continue talking about Rmoney

tax evasion and his Bain connection also.
