My brother emails that he still thinks they are depressed, but not conceding. He also thinks Obama is a good guy who just was incompetent about Benghazi and feels bad about it. As I commented to a friend ... “I refrained from telling him that even though he’s Republican, he’s still half-a-useful-idiot.”
Joe!
It’s not depression.
That was NOT a rally, or a lame rally. That was COMMUNICATED “good bye.” What I’m saying is, Michelle and Barack were saying to the (very small) crowd “good bye, it’s in your hands now”. Not ‘the vote is in your hands’ but ‘hope and change is in your hands.’
You have to put two and two together here. Anyone who knows anything knows that hard statistics guarantee this is over - and badly - that includes their internal pollsters. Remember - media polls are not internal polls. Both Romney and Obama have the same numbers. What you read in the media about them not having the same numbers is not true.
They accepted this long ago. When? Well the first explicit indication was something like 4 months ago: Obama said “you can’t change Washington from within.” The convention speech was when I first suspected it. The first debate was just more proof.
The 35 MIL mansion in Hawaii IS prepared for them to move in January. I’m not kidding here ! :-). I’m not giving opinion. That was a goodbye speech - he was doing everything BUT explicitly passing the torch (and blame, of course) to the crowd.
Just keep watching with that template in mind - it will all fit into place.
At what point does he start to drip tears?
