Inside Obama's 2012 Campaign

[Stargazer]

I found this article by "Rolling Stone" to be interesting and a confirmation of his strategy that some here have stated....

Beyond all the talk of field offices and online organizing tools and voter registration, the president's best shot at re-election lies not with his record, but with his opponents. Obama won in 2008 because he positioned himself as a vehicle for American optimism, the living embodiment of transformation and progress. But now that candidate of boundless promise has become a president boxed in by the poisonous partisanship of Washington. Like Bill Clinton in 1996, Obama can no longer offer any realistic agenda for sweeping change – he can only vow to be better than the alternative. If his secret weapon in 2008 was hope, this time around it's fear. It's not about how far we've come – it's how much ground we'll lose if the Republicans are able to implement the anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-black, anti-gay agenda they've been championing during the ugly and seemingly endless GOP primaries.

Ah, yes blaming 'Washington' and not the pinnacle of all things Washington, the President himself. His strategy is "It is not may fault. I tried but they stopped me."...

He embraces that partisanship and tries to use it to his advantage only much of the media enable it and most Americans don't give a shit.

...anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-black, anti-gay...

And that is the problem right there....trying to blame the other side for poisonous partisanship while engaging in it...
