Top Ten Obama Campaign Disasters--So Far

The media insist that Mitt Romney is running a bad campaign. Whether that’s true or not, one thing is certain: Barack Obama’s campaign is undoubtedly worse. From day one, Obama’s re-election effort has been a microcosm of his failures in office. Here is a list of the top ten Obama campaign disasters--and there are still six weeks to go!

1. AttackWatch The sequel to Obama’s “Fight the Smears” website from 2008, and his “flag@whitehouse.gov” rat-out-your-neighbors effort during the Obamacare debate, #AttackWatch was part of a larger effort to target Obama’s opponents for confrontation. Conservatives quickly defused AttackWatch by spoofing it--and even the mainstream media was forced to acknowledge (briefly) Obama’s thin-skinned and vindictive tactics.

2. Charlotte Democrats hoped to expand on their gains in 2008 by hosting their 2008 convention in North Carolina. But unions balked at North Carolina’s right-to-work laws, and Democrats--having demonized banks--were embarrassed that Obama was to hold his acceptance speech in the outdoor Bank of America Stadium. In the end, the Obama campaign couldn’t even fill enough seats, and had to move the speech back indoors.

3. Joe Soptic’s Wife How desperate do you have to be to accuse your opponent of killing an innocent woman? That’s what the Obama camp did when Obama’s super PAC aired a commercial featuring untrue claims by Joe Soptic, a man laid off at a company once owned by Bain Capital. The Obama campaign claimed they had no knowledge of Soptic’s crazy story--until it was revealed that they had touted it on a conference call.

4. “Felon” In another sign of desperation, the Obama campaign alleged that Romney may have committed a felony in signing Bain Capital’s reports to the SEC after Romney was no longer actively running the company. Even the Obama-friendly fact-checkers at mainstream news outlets weren’t buying

Zero is going for his own throat every time he he is forced to spin the effects of his failed presidency. Give him enough rope and he will hang himself.

He’s letting his hair get grayer to appear as wiser & older.

He is going down that haggard trail of The Bent One. I wonder how his blood pressure is doing?

Romney is only aggressive towards conservatives. Especially those who are more "severely conservative" than he is. He tore through Michele, Newt and Rick non-stop in every primary outspending them 20-1, almost all negative tearing them to shreds. Now he can't even be seen to clear his throat in a disagreeable manner.
When we win in November we are going to have to fight almost as hard as we have the last four years to keep this clown on track. So don't think this is the homestretch by any means. This fight hasn't even started yet.

I wouldn't start bad mouthing Romney until after the election. Getting rid of the Great Pretender is the prerequisite.

P.S. I have 1700 hours of IP time in the Tweet.
