"You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him."
That won't play well with you or me. It wasn't needed for the other side. But it can go right to the uninformed heart of an undecided voter's thinking.
It was a clever variation - and maybe even a rhetorical improvement - of St Ronnie's "are you better off today than you were four years ago" line.

Especially with these zombies' Rolls/Royce and their highway of lies and racism.

(22,912 posts)It goes all the way back to "So how is that hopey change thing working for ya?" It was a moderately clever phrase but there's no new damage in it.

(15,653 posts)I mean, really. There's never going to be a time in my life when voting for anyone, and I mean ANYONE, is the best feeling I have.
And, frankly, now that I'm thinking about this more, it smacks of racism. Almost like he was saying, "...that feeling you had voting for a BLACK man!"

(3,784 posts).............after the Democrats blow their convention out of the water. You want to see good speeches and a well-run convention, just wait until next week. And if you want to hear a speech that will blow the doors off of any Rmoney has ever given, just watch........well..........ANY speech Obama has ever given. And just wait until next week, when he tops them all.
But the REAL death-blow to the Republicans will come after Obama HUMILIATES Rmoney in the debates. You think Obama made McCain look silly? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
After those 2 events, even the most hardcore Republicans won't be able to remember a thing that happened during their convention. And if you don't believe me, tell me what you remember about the 2008 Republican convention. I watched it and only remember about 2 seconds of it. And those 2 seconds got their asses kicked by every last second of the Democratic convention, capped off by quite possibly the best acceptance speech ever delivered.
