There will come a time when Team Obama’s admakers shift focus from pummeling Romney to promoting the President. This web ad offers clues about the message and images to come as Democrats try to recapture their 2008 momentum.

Sequel? Who got the lead role?
Good advertisement…
Movingon,
You should check the “update” section in the original post.
The events of 2007/08 were a perfect storm for Obama and his team.
Even if he had been extremely capable in his first term, he would not be able to replicate the momentum of his 08 campaign.
He was absolutely in the right place at the right time.That confluence seldom comes along more than once, for anybody, but especially for a politician.
In 2008 voters voted enthusiastically for Obama.
Now he is having to ask them to give him the benefit of the doubt, that’s a pretty tough sell on the best of days.
I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt, not because of what he has done, but because of what republicans have done.
They have time and time again put defeating Obama and regaining power ahead of the welfare of the country. Polling indicates that there may be a large number of people who agree on that point. It may be enough to get him over the top. At this point however I am not feeling all that confident.
Things that make you go hmmmmmm. Interesting day for me today. 50th Anniversary
I think that Jonathan Turley has nailed it as to what makes Obama tick.

Purple,
Yes I did see that reference, what year was that in, wasn’t Romney long gone by then? If that is the problem that seems to me to be more of a Bain problem than a Romney problem. But the obvious question is why hasn’t the IRS step in?
Jamie,
Not that it isn’t a question of is it legal the question is it fair. Is that your position? What makes it fair and legal, is the tax code. What is fair? Me and my partner living in a high expensive city, or you and yours living on a parcel of land that somehow became tax exempt because of…well really who knows why. That’s just an example, have no idea where you live or what you live in . Nothing is fair, winners and losers. To tell you the truth I would be in favor of no deductions of any kind for anyone or thing, in place of a lower tax rate for everyone and thing. Seriously why should a person who is paying on a mortgagee get to deduct the interest off their tax returns, and if is their primary home and they live in it for over 2 years and sell it is all tax free money. The poor person living in an apartment isn’t able to get those types of benefits? Why is that? Tax code. Can’t wait to sell our home as we will be moving straight into an apartment. The American dream may not be home ownership.
George W Bush (Shrub R(for ridiculous)-Texass) believed that every American should own a home as a way of fighting domestic terrorism or to give the lending institutions free rein to screw the financially illiterate and poor — I can never remember which was the basis for the policy that allowed benign neglect to be the underlying principle of bank regulation which is the cause for the current conditions
No wonder the goops don’t want a Bush any where near the convention --I wonder if Jeb will be there in drag
As for the tax code on mortgage deductions -- the real beneficiaries are the owners of second homes like so many Republican members of the political ruling class
MO
I actually agree with you about the tax code being as simple as possible except that I do think it should still be graduated to some extent simply because it is cheaper to be rich. Certainly the mortgage deduction should be on principal residence only and some states actually do give renters a percentage of their rent for property tax collected from the owner on state taxes. No reason that couldn’t be done on national level if building owners get a credit on their interest.
It should be as simple as possible and none of this pass through business. Income is income whatever the source. some could be indexed or adjusted, but if it is money made on money then tax it.
Just breaking Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon , has passed away at 82 due to complications from heart surgery.
Neil Armstrong: A true hero, not just for moon walk but also for not doing reverse mortgage commercials
I wish I had read Jonathan Turley’s article when it came out. Then I would have had 6 days on my realization known that Obama was going to screw everyone.
But it does not really matter, there is no way that I can vote for Romney. If I do, I will need to be checked into a mental institution.
Here’s a great interview with Dan Rather on the state of the Media and the Conventions (I forgot to post yesterday):

I keep changing the channel because Mike Huckabee Obamacare commercials keep appearing…Huckabee and his commercial are about as sleazy as it gets…
Neil Armstrong was a great guy…John Glenn, another great guy, made a really nice statement about him this morning…
Craig…I am going to use your reverse mortgage line…I will credit you…
OUCH! Economist unloads: So Mitt What Do You Believe?
That awesome reverse-mortgage in the sky
my favorite bob wills song
Ha, OregonD, no credit required. I steal so many lines from you guys (including on Spitzer last night), I’d never expect that
just watched the sean video again. nize.
RNC seems to be running for the hills now. I guess “God’s wrath” can only be allowed to hurt poor people not the Rich.
Isaac upside for GOP: Gov. Scott now going to skip convention to manage hurricane prep
Upside for strip clubs happy hour: Monday night session cancelled
jaslf, I am going to vote for Joe Biden for Vice President!
Isaac has at least done one good thing, won’t have Gov. Rick Scott at the Convention. Looks like Isaac is going to do land fall as a CAT 2 in the far right Florida panhandle. See, God does not like Republicans. Am I BAD?
Gov. Scott withdraws from RNC activities ahead of Isaac

Mitt Romney tweet at August 25, 2012 1:52 PM about Neil Armstrong:
Hey Mitt,
Neil Armstrong took “his place in the hall of heroes” in 1962 when he joined the NASA space team. Later on July 20, 1969, at 20:18 UTC, he landed Apollo 11, the spaceflight which landed the first humans, on the Moon. Neil Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface on July 21 at 02:56 UTC.
Neil Armstrong did not just take “his place in the hall of heroes” Mitt jerk. He has been there a very long time!
Thank you for issuing those corrections on Mitten’s announcement, PiT.
Here’s the best video of the landing sequence I’ve yet seen (17-minutes HD720p):

Neil Armstrong sure put Wapakoneta on the map!
GOP Jingoism, insularity, and just plain abysmal arrogance run amok. You are allowed to give into the temptation to scream OMG at the top of your lungs …
“America Invented Education” Mitt Romney
Reading comments on link above is fun and then you can click to go You Tube
Somehow Mitt managed to put his foot in his mouth while typing a tweet …. adds new meaning to his usual contortions.
Flatus,
Great Video! I downloaded it. Slow site for downloads, takes as long to download as to play. I hope the download is in english.
Wall of heroes? I think not.
Neil Armstrong has a wall all to himself!
Rest in peace sir. Job magnificently done!
America invented education, and Mitt missed all the classes.
My cousin is now in Sarasota. He will be working in shelter services in Bradlington.
I am so looking forward to Pat Robertson’s telling us why God’s wrath has cancelled day 1 of the GOP bigotfest…

No fu--ing wonder I don’t watch the Sunday morning shows.
If it’s Sunday it must be Neanderthal.
Unless there’s something we don’t know, looks like Haiti storm fallout could have been soooo much worse. Groovy!

They are all birthers now, even Mitt.
Craig,
I’ll take that as a prayer answered.

OD,
I think that it is because of all those strippers.
Pretty sure anyway.
Thanks Jace..I think you are correct…
You guys keep yakking about strippers, but the repub conventioneers aren’t bringing them any business. You have them confused with the mainspringmedia guys, lobbyists -- like Bill’s friend morris, and congress critters.
The actual ripper conventioneers are more interested in bowel relief than genital relief. They’re sitting in the johns and janes of their hotel rooms, staring dazedly at the towel racks, & wondering if they’ll ever be able to crap again.
They’ve long since forgotten those dead things between their legs.
These people don’t go to saloons to whoop it up. Their idea of a great cocktail is a Roto-rooter :
A Jigger of Metamucil
A Jigger of Mylanta
A Jigger of Milk of Magnesia
Pour the Milk of Magnesia into a frosted champagne flute. Using a the back of a spoon to prevent splashing, carefully pour a layer of Metamucil on top. Next, repeat the procedure carefully pouring the layer of Mylanta on top. Decorative shavings of Ex-Lax on top.
Place the filled champagne flut in the freezer for 5 minutes to render the drink gelid.
Bon Appetit.
