Obama will not be defeated by a single bullet (former Muslim, goofy church, no experience) he's one to be destroyed by a thousand patient cuts.
That's true in general. Presidents are supported on their totality and candidates are opposed on their totality. There are certain themes that work to one extent or another, but they have to be broad: Bush is dumb, Kerry is elitist.
The theme should be that Obama is a neophyte and empty suit and we tailor each attack to that theme. The Muslim stuff just comes off as mean and bigoted, even though it isn't. Let the Hillary camp do that whisper campaign.

It's ever more broad. Republicans have been painted as dumb since I've been alive. GWB, not so much GHWB, Reagan (dumb & asleep), Ford (dumb & clumsy), Nixon (dumb criminal), Eisenhower (dumb even though he conquered half the world). |
