last Wednesday, the President pissed me off

[Sekhmets Daughter]

47. Oh ye of little faith and even less understanding...

The one thing this president has, and Romney never will, is likability and Americans elect likability...if that weren't so Gore would have swept so many states Florida would not have been necessary. The Angry Black Man is just too dangerous and I'm not even certain this
particular black man could even carry it off.

At this point in any election the goal is to glean the "undecided" voters...a polite euphemism for the knuckleheads...or low-information voters. The ABM would be a major turn-off for those voters. Why do you think Romney so blithely threw his base under the bus and they have so blithely accepted it? Republicans have always understood that the final weeks of any election depend on the ignorant. Stop and think just what Fox and the rest of the media would have said had an ABM shown up at that debate? How is that useful?

As to Democratic enthusiasm...Democrats have been assholes for as long as I can remember when it comes to their candidate...or their president. They want perfection and heaven forbid their idol turns out to have feet of clay. If they don't get out there volunteer, donate and vote, then they will get the president they deserve....And while that is rough for people like ourselves who are heavily invested in President Obama, the fault lies with the people not the president.

If I were advising President Obama I would tell him to gently mock Romney right to his face...make the audience laugh....Romney won't know whether to shit or go blind because like all "entitled" men the one thing he absolutely can't stand is being laughed at. He will have no defense for it and will start sputtering absurdities even the knuckleheads will recognize as such.
