We hide behind stonewalls here in New England - till we see the whites of their eyes.

Exactly.

He’s coming aboard to show them how to be better liars.

"Plouffe is one of the smartest guys in the business, he has the full trust of the President and his team, and we appreciate any and all help he can give us," White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said. "

High praise indeed,

assembling the same team from 2008 isn’t going to make any difference, either. Obama isn’t the same candidate he was in 2008

Not true. The problem the Obamination has is that his "08 team" was working with a blank slate. Obama was a virtual unknown back then and his image could be molded in the press (and was.)

Now the majority of Americans see the Obamination for who he really is and they don't like him, his administration or the commiecrats as a whole.

They can try to reshape Obama's image but there just isn't enough polish to take off the tarnish on Obama.

Well, I am reminded of the old saw “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

The LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist Bastards fooled us in ‘08.

That is not likely to happen again!

The LSMFBs will not be able to lie to us again and get away with it. They will be called out, made to answer for their false pronouncements and held accountable for voting against America.

There will be a lot of ex-Representatives and ex-Senators looking for work in January, 2011!

"Solution: Hire more PR people. "

Good one!

But, that's the mentality of this moronic bunch; their radical policies fail, and they think it's because they didn't lie enough.

Actually, hiring the same dude whom he credits with getting him elected is not too smart, when most people are starting to rue the day he got elected...that would make Ploffe and "accomplice in the crime".

But, whoever this "PR Consultant" is, he'd better be damn good...he's got his work cut out for him....

[Nick Danger]

When Plouffe was selling a guy nobody ever heard of, wrapped in ribbons of "Hope" and "Change," he was a success.

This time he's selling a guy that people have been watching for a year, and he's wrapped in chains named "recession" and "unemployment" and "deficit".

Good luck with that.

[lmr]

Not true.

Perhaps you misunderstand, because I don't find anything in your post that I disagree with, so if you could please be more specific in the implied disagreement, I would be happy to address that.

[bayliving]

You said that Obama isn't the same guy as he was during the 08 campaign.

My only argument (if you really want to call it that) is that Obama is the SAME person he was back in 08 only that the unwashed masses didn't know or want to know just what kind of person he really is.

That's all. He cannot be remade because he has been shown by his own actions as the person he really is. Any attempt to "change" him will fail. The only thing he could do to change the way a majority of people feel about him right now is to run as fast as he can to the center right.

That being said, I don't think Obama is capable of doing that. He will only get harsher and more egotistical as the rest of his term plays out. That's all.

Sorry if you thought I was trying to argue with you.
