President Barack Obama/Vice-President Joe Biden Re-elected to 2nd Term Thread

[NLC1054]

It's a shame that President Obama can't seem to explain his own accomplishments the way that Clinton did.

Mainly because people don't seem to respond to it when it comes out of his mouth and dismiss it as egocentric and brash. Even though it's not.

Fox is trying so hard to spin this great speech into something bad. It's laughable. Brit Hume claiming that people aren't capable of remember everything Bill Clinton said and thus it will be less effective.

Because insinuating that Americans are stupid? TOTALLY good for your party.

If Obama gives a good layout for his second term; he should be roaring out of his convention to another landslide victory.

I still dunno about North Carolina going to Obama. It's going to be close, but my gut is telling me Romney's going to carry it. I think Obama wins the other swing states, though.

It is, but I think part of it is you can't be perceived as tooting your own horn too much. You're supposed to be presidential. Inspiring, above the fray, and gazing to the future. It's the role of other senior members of your party to enthusiastically beat the drum for you and your accomplishments.

Agreed. I think NC is a stretch in part because the Governors race appears over since nobody knows Walter Dalton. It's not like there is another inspiring person on the NC ticket at the state level to help out.

Brit Hume: Clinton was "wonky" & "self-indulgent" & his speech was 30% too long.

What the hell can Republicans complain or campaign on from this?

They've had THREE knock it out of the park speeches in two nights, and the man himself ain't even stepped on the mother****ing stage yet.

Es muy muy boned.

Romney campaign responds to Clinton DNC speech



(CNN) - GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign issued a statement after former President Bill Clinton's address to the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, saying Clinton "drew a stark contrast between himself and President Obama."

"Bill Clinton worked with Republicans, balanced the budget, and after four years he could say you were better off," Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams wrote. "Barack Obama hasn’t worked across the aisle – he’s barely worked with other Democrats – and has the worst economic record of any president in modern history.

"President Clinton’s speech brought the disappointment and failure of President Obama’s time in office clearly into focus,” Williams continued.

"hasn't worked across the aisle"

That's BS. Obamacare doesn't go far enough because the Republicans wouldn't have it.

That's bull and they know it is. They had to throw a little red meat at the base who won't have much to say about Clinton's speech.
