Obama's Campaign Strategy: More Vague Cliches
FR ^ | Wednesday, May 16, 2012 | cc

Hey, it worked the last time, why not try it again?

Aided by an uncurious Big Media, Team Obama is all set to roll out the same vague rhetoric that worked so well in 2008. You know, the "America faces huge challenges", "we must all pull together", "now is the time to put aside our differences", type of blather, bland cliches that never move beyond the level of a high-school essay?

Why do they do this? Well, they're dumb. They don't really have an ideas of substance, so there's nothing else to talk about. And sadly, it works - some people get sucked in by this verbal sleight-of-hand, and miss the real questions in the background. WHY is the economy a challenge; YOU'RE in charge, sir? WHY is the unemployment rate the same as when you took office (and twice Bush's average), despite your blowing 3X as much money as Bush spent in all 8 years?? Time for accountability, Obama!

They'll do this for the next 6 months if you do nothing. Don't put up with another campaign of touchy-feely vague rhetoric that lets this dope evade his sorry record - nail him on the specifics at every chance!

KEYWORDS: cliches; emptyrhetoric; fooledyaonce; obama; vanity
And don't let Big Leftist Media help him get away with another cliche-campaign - there's too much riding on this one.

Fear not. We're going to spend the next six months trashing Romney. That should settle things.

Don't forget the other tactic he relies upon:

Rolling up his sleeves to show he is going to fight and work for what is good.

He'll say and do anything to get the “lemming” vote.

Obama is all hat and no cattle.

Obama should just run on his record. His new slogan should be:

"Spend, Blame, and Vacation"
