So when I go back to visit in WNY and say it's so nice to be back to the area where I was born I'm a birther? :huh:

 

It was a birther remark. It was obviously a jab and a come back for all the dog jokes.

Every time I need to show my birth certificate, it's a crack at Obama.

Don't get me wrong, it was funny but that's the vibe I got when I watched the video.

If it's a jab, it's a jab at the friggin' birther morons, who are just begging to be mocked.

 

Obama's team would be well advised to treat it as such, and not take it personally. Just as a matter of politics.

I'm reading the reaction from the media, and it's hilarious. Words that are being used are "racist", "controversy", "fringe", "birther", "firestorm", "far-right", etc. etc.

 

Ya, don't go after their boy, (oh no, I said "boy" that must mean I'm a racist") not with this birth certificate stuff, or they'll call you out on it :lol:

Correct. He's making light of a situation and I don't fault him for it.

So we're adding "birth certificate" to "angry" and "Monday" on the list of racist words now?

 

Amazing campaign strategy. Make every word racist.

Don't forget "y'all" and "chains"...

That wasn't racist as much as it was just !@#$ing stupid.

 

But calling Biden "!@#$ing stupid" is racist. [/MSNBC]

You know what? I've changed my mind. In an AP interview, Obama has announced that if he's re-elected, he plans to reach across party lines.

Yeah, I know, anyone paying attention to politics knows Obama hasn't reached across party lines since he was elected. But this time things will be different. This time things will be bi-partisan, post-racial and transparent. This time there will be more hope and more change...and this time, there won't be red states or blue states, but United States. This time he'll go through the budget line-item by line-item and cut the waste. This time he'll cut the deficit in half by the end of his second term. This time he'll shut down Gitmo.

 

This time he does it all...if only you'll give him the chance.

 

What a deceptive little child he has become, lower lip curled, head tilted downward, sad eyes looking upward as he quietly whines "Please, mommy. Just one more chance and I'll be good. I promise this time."

Not the Behavior of a Winning Campaign

 

By Erik Erikson

 

The media keeps showing its rear end. Let me just make that clear. If you are a competent reporter, I’m not sure how you cannot be embarrassed by the majority of those in your profession right now covering politics.

 

From Mark Halperin, to Jake Tapper, to Chuck Todd, more journalists are actually now admitting just how pliable the media is when it comes to Barack Obama’s spin. All week long, as the economy deteriorates, most every anchor at most every news outlet, most every editorialist in most every paper, and most every “centrist” and liberal pundit has been pointing out the GOP’s extremist abortion position.

 

Few, if any, have pointed out that Barack Obama’s abortion on demand position is extreme. Few, if any, have pointed out how most Americans favor restrictions on abortion. Few, if any, have pointed out that Mitt Romney’s position is actually more mainstream than Barack Obama’s. Few, if any, have wanted to go beyond Politifact’s ham-handed cover for Obama on infanticide and get into what Barack Obama actually said in 2002. Hear him come out for infanticide yourself right here. Remember, the media is hiding behind the left-leaning Politifact (and yes, it does lean left) to avoid having to deal with this.

 

They cannot help themselves. But why are they doing it?

 

They are doing it for the exact same reason Joe Biden is claiming the GOP will put black people back in chains and why Barack Obama would rather talk about uteri than jobs ? they all know Barack Obama is losing this thing. Hysteria creeps into campaigns when the campaigns know they are losing.

 

{snip}

 

But then Paul Ryan became the veep pick. He has now given Romney purpose. He has defined the campaign. He has put Barack Obama on defense. Consider this ? the sage voices of the GOP were convinced the GOP could not win the fight on budgetary and entitlement reform. They were convinced Paul Ryan would sink the ticket.

 

Then the Democrats tried to define Paul Ryan and failed. They have been failing ever since. Their attempts to define Mitt Romney didn’t do enough and they have yet to settle on a narrative to define Paul Ryan. They are grasping at straws. Now they’d even fight the Associated Press style book to try to go after Paul Ryan.

 

And that gets us back to the media. At what point will they finally start asking if Barack Obama needs a campaign shake up? Because if it was Mitt Romney in the same boat, they sure as hell would. In fact, there have already been two different media cycles about Romney needing a campaign shake up and not one about Barack Obama.

 

Why? The simple truth remains the vast majority of the media is more sympathetic to and friendly with Team Obama and would hate to ruffle the feathers of friends. It’s one of the greatest thing Mitt Romney has going for him right now.

I think he means he's going to engage the moderate Democrats.
