Barack Obama Shifts Into Campaign Mode: GOP Would ‘Fundamentally Cripple America’

» 144 comments

It’s official: Barack Obama is in full-out campaign mode, as evidenced by his attempt to woo back those liberals who have grown disillusioned when it comes to remaining… well. Hopeful. While addressing West Coast Democrats, Obama went on the offensive, telling his audience that placing a Republican at the nation’s helm would “fundamentally cripple America in meeting the challenges of the 21st century” and that, from the moment he first took office, there has been “a constant ideological pushback against any kind of sensible reforms that would make our economy work better and give people more opportunity.”

As Fox News notes, the President’s three-day tour of the West Coast, “offered him the chance to re-engage with some of his most liberal and deep-pocketed supporters,” such as former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley, who hosted a $35,800-per-couple event for Obama at his home in Medina, Washington.

At a similar event last night in Silicon Valley, the President lobbed some harsh words at Texas Governor and GOP presidential hopeful Rick Perry, telling those gathered that “you’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change” and mentioning the booing that had taken place last week after a gay solider asked a question concerning gays in the military during Fox News and Google’s GOP debate.

Time will tell whether this “revamped,” more confrontational image will help Obama convince his former, but wary, supporters to recommit to his campaign.

    Duh! The more the people here about their crazy plans the more they hate it and their Poll number dips. Look at the Ryan plan, Perry, Bachmann, on and on and on, its crazy.

    Alex,
    You should post Perry’s response to the President’s politicizing of tragedy:

    “It’s outrageous President Obama would use the burning of 1,500 homes,
    the worst fires in state history, as a political attack,” Perry
    spokesman Ray Sullivan emailed this morning. “This from a president
    whose nation is financially suffering and his solution is taking more
    money away from families by raising taxes on families and small
    businesses.”

  • Michelle

    Um, you failed to mention Ozero’s record low approval.

    This President and his party have done such a great job of getting America’s economic engines revved up since they were in stalled early in 2007.

    If only those dastardly teabaggurrr racists hadn’t thrown Pelosi’s “People’s House” out based on their superior job performance less than a year ago, we would be at 2% unemployment with a bazillion dollar surplus right now, and everyone would be happy with unicorns dancing around candy mountains of sugar-coated awesomeness.

    Hi.

    Why haven’t the Democrats in the Senate sent a federal budget to Obama’s desk in over 850 days?

    I know you may struggle with numbers, but 40% is not the same as freaking 9%.

    Congress isn’t running for President. Obama is.

    40% means 60% of the nation disapproves of your President. They will be looking at a replacement.

    Gash! My God. Do I have to break everything down to you jokers. His opponents are not doing better, that was my point. As for the 60%, do you really think they are all against him, some are pissed with him because they think he hasn’t gone far enough, fight enough for their causes against the GOP/TP.

  • http://twitter.com/Good_Lt Good Lt.

    “His opponents in Congress,” who were elected because people were sick of the Democrats in Congress, aren’t running for President.

    The only opponent that matters is the one that is running for President.

    Congress is irrelevant.

    And the GOP will take the Senate next year. Does that scare you?

    Yes, look at the Ryan plan.  It was developed by a competent, intelligent, knowledgeable Congressman who knows it’s controversial but the issues have to be faced, whether we like it or not.  Also look at Mitt Romney’s 59 point plan on his web site.

    And if anyone thinks Herman Cain is not a serious candidate, just watch this interview and learn somethings we did not know about him…very impressive.

    As for his opponents not doing better, you are wrong.  Romney beats him in some polls. Not only that, but as soon as one candidate is finally picked, the entire  Republican party as well as most of those in the Tea Party will get behind that candidate instead of spreading their vote. 

    Unfortunately, Obama has been a total failure, so the feeling in the country is Anyone But Obama.

    His tenure on that campaign was cut short two months before the election, when it was revealed that he had allowed a prostitute to listen in on conversations with the President.

    In January 2010 in Mass, in November 2010 nationally, in recent special electionss, in poll after poll the American people have rejected Obama and his so-called ‘hope and change’. There is no getting away that fact.  It will probaly not change.  At least it can be said for the republican canmdidates that they are being subjected to rigorous and harsh vetting.  Even potential candidates such as Sarah Palin have received a level of scrutiny of personal and political life that is unprecedented.  Media went AWOL on Obama, and we elected an unvetted unknown and frighteningly inexperienced nonentity, as is now becoming evident.

    President Obama has done nothing to address the challenges of the 21st century in fact every program he has offered has had a decidedly 20th century mentality to it….  from his support of the unions to his continued support of an outdated taxing system…  The only new offering that he has bought to the table is his idea of a green economy which he has managed to expose to corruption and graft…   Even had he pursued his plan on honest footing it was doomed from the start…

    Report on the damage the “Green Economy” has done to Spain…  If you will recall the president pointed to Spain as he called on America to follow the Spanish example of transforming an economy.  The report brings to light the continued need for public subsidy of green energy at the cost of the private sector far into the foreseeable future, at the cost of private sector jobs.  Not only are the costs of subsidized green jobs prohibitive but for each created it is expected that 2.2 self-sustaining private sector jobs will be lost. 

    Let’s send this president back to “Sweet Home Chicago” come 2012!

    BH is in the mode of Whiner right now.  When he switches to Doer then that is the time that he will have to explain in detail more than he ever has before . . . Because when he was in the Doer Mode before, nothing that he said would occur, ever DID!!  People are getting sick ‘n tired of him just talking in general and not materializing on anything.  Besides that, he is always talking about a distant future and NEVER a near future.  Whereas, John Kasich in Ohio, has turned things around in his State, and he can point it out and prove it without just talking all the time, like BH Obama always does.  BH has spoken of Green Plans . . . But his plans all about Green, Solar Energy, and Shovel-Rediness, are all a waste . . . He’s a loser . . . As far as his blaming Congress; doesn’t he know anything at all about his job?  Congress is not going to shut up and do nothing while vacations, plans, shoots golf, talks, photo-ops, vacatoins some more, etc.  I feel sorry for those two little girls of his.

    I honestly never thought Obama’s job approval rating would hit 36%, which it has. His negatives have also gotten pretty high and his personal approval rating has hit 39%.
    You know what? Mark my words, he is going to drive his approval ratings even lower and his negatives MUCH higher. You cannot sell yourself as “Black Jesus” (relax, Obama’s aids call him that) and then pivot from that two and half years later and become the nastiest, most cynical, negative and divisive president in history without paying a tremendous price in likability. He’s pandering to the 19-20% far-left loons, and turning everyone else who bought into his phony “Black Jesus  shtick off, so look for his approval numbers to slide into the 20′s.

    People who hate government cannot be entrusted to run it properly. The repugs started 30 years ago with the Reaganites. They were going to run govt like a business. They would make govt efficient and get rid of waste. The repugs will produce MORE FOR LESS and do it better. WELL they failed to do any of their promised activities. They were the champions of GOVT WASTE, their privatization of govt services have all out failed and squandered billions of taxpayer dollars. What is most reprehensible is the amount of money private contractors made off this country while at war. They overcharged, bilked american taxpayers and their shoddy work caused the deaths of american soldiers as they were eletrocuted taking a shower. The repugs corrupted our federal agencies, weakened their enforcement powers and abilities. And they populated the agencies with people who were obviously incompetent. They politicized our DOJ and misused govt authority to intimidate and falsely accuse political opponents wrongdoing, long enough to get through an election cycle. And they privatized collections for IRS that proved horribly wrong. The collectors under collected, over charged and misused the authority of govt when approaching taxpayers. Fortunately, IRS got away from the privatizers very quickly. And now, the Inspector General’s offices are finally releasing reports of govt wrongdoing and wastefulness perpetrated by the BUSHies. GOVT is not a business. It is the Universal WATCHDOG of the common good and it has to operate efficiently to secure the future of the US democracy. It is the bulwark against tyranny and would be kings. And it must function and do its job. Govt needs to be in the hands of people who value its duty to public service, it cannot be entrusted to the RICK PERRY’s of the US who would dissolve the union.

    “Obama is pinning 2012 hopes on a “do-nothing Congress”. Just how
    “do-nothing” is our Congress? Here is a break down of the House and
    Senate:
    Through September 15, the GOP House had voted 711 times. Meanwhile,
    across the same period, the Democratic Senate had only 137 recorded
    votes. So, the allegedly lethargic GOP legislators whose sloth dooms the
    nation actually are five times as energetic as their indolent
    counterparts in the Democratic Senate.”

    #4, as a former Bush basher, I’d say he was treated with the similar disdain, yet didn’t resort to the divisive attacks Obama is engaging in.
    #5, That’s your opinion. My opinion is that he is trying to fire up his far-Left base and is throwing them red meat and his tone and demeanor is turning off Independent voters, which you have to admit is happening. Just today a poll has him at only 45% with Jewish voters (see Ben Smith).

It would be useless anyway to this group of 2011 Republican/teaparty commenters. It’s enough to make you sick to your stomach to think what else the republicans could do to the USA.

    “The blind faith in, and passion for, Obama was like nothing [Anita] Dunn had ever seen before. Around Hopefund they joked about it all the time, praying it wouldn’t go to Obama’s head; his ego was robust enough already. They even conferred on the senator a new nickname: ‘Black Jesus.’”

    #2, we shall see, won’t we?
    #3, I posted a link and excerpt below, in case you’re really interested. Also, if you think that Obama didn’t portray himself as our savior during the last presidential election, that’s your right.
    #4, so on the one hand you discount a poll as being an outlier, yet on the other hand you post one example of BDS backfiring and expect that to be proof that Bush was treated better than Obama. Seriously?
    #5, this is getting very boring and really serves no purpose other than to waste time, agreed?

    Yeah cuz clearly Bush is responsible for everything bad that has ever or will ever happen.  At some point, accept responsibility for your failure to determine you were voting for an incompetent unaccomplished fool and get on America’s side here.  Get rid of the SCOAMF and help the country recover.

    I’d say Obama has done what he says the Republicans will do.

    Well now you are talking about Bush ” incompetent unaccomplished fool” and “SCOAMF” He didn’t even know we were IN a recession. Obama had the stimulus package passed and the economy was in worse shape then he knew. Now The Right wing nutz want to hold the economey hostage ’till 2012. But things change in a year and with the field of candidates that the republicans have to offer along with the party of NO tactics I believe we will be in for a round of FOUR more years!

    While everyone thinks he should be focusing on getting jobs for the unemployed, he appears to be wasting resources on assuring only one job for one person in 2013.

    How is that for attending to his base? Has his base woken up yet?

    There are steps that can be taken to “shore” up Social Security so it is solvent for all including future generations but the tea party would rather end it.

    Yes, Bush is responsible for all this bullshit we are going though now, now get your republicans to help get us out of this mess and quit complaining about nothing getting done when Boehner, Cantor and McConnell are trying to finish the job Bush started.

  • Billanderson_9

    2010 and look what we got Ohio divided, Wisconsin recalling state senators and the governor next, our credit rating down rated and it appears like it going to be more of the same, now this is frightening,what has we done in 2010.

    Bush did that, did he hate the U.S. also.

    What this meat head fails to see is that he and his corrupt party are the ones crippling America.  I can’t wait to vote him and his corrupt party out on November 6, 2012.

    Yet nearly everything this fool has done makes things worse.  Your obsession with Bush is a little weird.  You know he is not the president anymore right?

    Thank Bush for the economy, that you can never forget.

    The republicans did their job, by filibustering everything, how soon we forget.

    Have to reply to my own. Stupid comment thing.

    1954don – I do not see any defending of Bush in any of my posts,  Seems you have a reading comprehension problem to go with the general liberal stupidity.  O is the president now.  All efforts by him to make the economy grow fail due to his incompetence.  That has nothing to do with Bush.  So lets get rid of the current moron in chief in the next election and move on from the failed affirmative action presidents.  What do you say?

    The president is right! Every American should stand tall and man up to the constant discourse and diatribes spewed by the TEA(Terrifying Errant Activist) party. They try to take us of course with name calling and baiting issues. America needs jobs and this current 112th Congress has done everything they could to shut down the legislation the previous Congress passed. Just because the TEA(Terrifying Errant Activists) say The Medical Health Care Act is destroying jobs, no one really believes them. The act has taken numerous children back into insurance coverage because the law requires them to. More babies and infants are covered quicker and insurance companies cannot use pre-existing conditions. The American Recovery Act, Patient Protection and affordability act helped everyone. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act placed curbs on Wall Street excesses and the TEA(Terrifying Errant Activist)party wants to do away with it! Every sane American should back and support president Obama in his trek towards re-election as he has remained true and on course even with the intense blocking and confrontations he has received from the TEA(Terrifying Errant Activist) party.

    Yes, Hussein, like none of the Idiotic policies you have come up with helped America, lol!  Everything this Fool does is Bad and Fails, and he things the GOP is worse!  Obama does not live in the Real World, that is obvious.  Better for Hillary to come out and speak against this NonAmerican Ba$tard Child and run for President, instead of the Fool, who has not left Campaign Mode since 2008!  Anyone but the UnChristian, UnAmerican B, Hussein Obama in 2012!

    Let me see.   The Obama team chose to ignore the lesson of the Clinton ‘comeback’ and instead of changing policies to embrace the center, instead chose to attack the GOP, ignore independents.  Independents polling tanks, and the team then CONTINUES to target the liberals.
     
    Great idea.   Carter and Mondale think the Obama folks are genius.  The only real explanation has to be that Pres. Obama simply does not want a second term.

    Right now we are in a coma, once the republicans are running the country we will awake to a better future.  Is he disparaging our military who suffer devastating crippling loss of limbs.  Look at how so many of these brave men came back and are living life they though they would never have again.  I would vote in a heartbeat for any one of them who would be running for office under the  republican party.

    Ryan knew very well that his plan would be attacked and that it would not necessarily be popular.  But for once, you have a politician who understands that he must do what is best for the country and not for himself. 

    He’s not stupid…he understood that very well when he proposed his plan, and I saw him say as much on TV.  You may not like it, and many others may not like it in it’s entirety or as originally proposed.  But at least it’s a starting point for a very necessary conversation.  He knew that and again said  that on TV.

    This country is in BIG trouble, and to think you can ignore that and bury one’s head in the sand is not too bright, and will do nothing to solve our problems. We are all in this together…Democrats, Republicans and Independents.  It’s very foolish to ignore Ryan’s proposed plan simply because he’s a Republican and not a Democrat.  If the ship sinks, we all go down together.

    There are ways to “shore” up Social Security and Medicare rather to just cut then fade it out! I read one on AARP that had both cuts to raises in coverage and adjustments in the payroll tax that would make it solvent.

    Too late, Obama.

    Your failed Marxist policies these past three years have already crippled America, have crippled Europe, have crippled Asia, have crippled Israel and the Middle East…in short, they have crippled the world.

    It is going to take years of a new President to undo the large mound of manure you have dumped on this country since 2009.
