Clinton campaign deputy communications director Phil Singer:I think it’s clear that the Obama campaign is running scared right now. They’ve outspent our campaign by significant margins in both North Carolina and Indiana, they’ve predicated victories in both North Carolina and Indiana, and they’re currently watching our candidate catch fire on the stump and generate a significant amount of momentum going into Election Day.
That's pretty bold talk (MP3 audio here) and Hillary backer Taylor Marsh ties it to Obama's response to Hillary's proposed gas-tax holiday:
I think “running scared” is a good description of the Obama campaign right now. He is simply failing to connect with the working-class voters that are the backbone of the party, and I just don’t see how sticking up for a gas tax is going to help him at all.
Economists can say whatever they want, but people who are hurting appreciate someone who at least tries to help their situation, instead of arguing such relief can’t we accomplished. That’s what Obama just doesn’t get, and why Tuesday is looking better and better for Hillary.
Ex-Clintonista Robert Reich mocks Hillary's anti-economist rhetoric. As someone who cares a lot about economics, I hesitate to endorse attacks on practicioners of the "dismal science."On the other hand, it's right in line with the populist tactics the Clinton campaign's been using recently. Rank-and-file Democrats love that kind of stuff. If only Hillary had called those economists "pointy-headed intellectuals who can't even park their bicycles straight," she'd have been tapping into a timeless Democratic tradition.At least for once in her life, Hillary's on the right side of a tax issue.
“OBAMA EXPOSED”
ReplyDeleteby Publius II
There once was a man named Obama
His life began with drama
An African Muslim father
And an eccentric white mama
Obama’s white grandparents
They gave him a charmed life
Raised on the beaches of Hawaii
Far from ghetto strife
He went to private schools
Fourteen thousand dollars a year
Working-class white folks
They were nowhere near
He attended Columbia
Then Harvard Law
A very soft and liberal upbringing
Something Americans eventually saw
He then went to Chicago
Nation of Islam, Farrakhan, Black Panthers and Jackson
The only friends he made
All from the extreme left-wing faction
He joined a radical church
His Pastor downright insane
Blacks and whites, he said
Think with different parts of their brain
His church praised a man named Cone
With hateful opinions he was filled
He said white people were “the devil”
And Gods who love whites must be killed
Obama first ran for State Senate
With permission from Chicago’s Marxist King
A domestic terrorist named Ayers
Obama kissed his ring
When he was a mere State Legislator
He gave a speech against the War
As such, he wasn’t responsible for voting
A typical political whore
He wrote a book called “Dreams From My Father”
From start to finish a racist rant
After people finally read it
They later said: “Obama, no we can’t”
He wrote how he rejected his mother’s race
And that Malcolm X was a hero
People had a clear warning
Obama was a dangerous zero
He was then elected to the U.S. Senate
Obama’s ego grew very bold
He barely served a year
I will run for President was the story he told
He said he’d end the War
But in Congress his party already had control
He had about as much success
As when he tried to bowl
He spent millions to stage rallies
The crowds would yell and cheer
But then it all fizzled after he said
Typical white folks cling to religion, guns and beer
His wife said America was mean
She was never really proud
Her Black Separatist thesis at Princeton
Became a campaign cloud
People said he was a Muslim
His supporters scoffed and jeered
Then his Black Liberation Church was exposed
And Obama’s ugly head was reared
He tried to recover in a speech on race
The radical left-wing media offered raves
But he said white folks had an “untrained ear”
And abolitionists in Pennsylvania turned over in their graves
He claimed to be a uniter
He would bring people together all at once
But after his speech in Philadelphia
He proved to be a demographic dunce
He tried once more to persuade whites
But his bowling was a mess
He rolled a 37
Like a 5-year-old girl in a dress
He then played basketball
He drove the ball to the rack
But when all was said and done
He looked like an old man having a heart attack
He said damn those white voters
Their Mutual Funds I will tax
I’ll double the capital gains rate
And deliver yet another smack
He wouldn’t cover his heart
As the National Anthem played
It’s a meaningless gesture he said
But Americans felt betrayed
He wouldn’t wear a flag pin
It was against his One World view
It doesn’t matter he said
And the American people stewed
He first called terrorist Ayers his friend
Then said this man he didn’t really know
More deceit and cover-ups
Obama’s lies began to grow
Farrakhan, Jackson and Sharpton
Three of Obama’s greatest fans
He tried hiding them in the closet
So not to further offend the white man
Then came his anti-American Pastor
Obama’s mentor for 20 years
He preened, shucked and jived
White people rose up and sneered
He opposed cutting the gas tax
He said it wasn’t a winner
$40 is all it would save, he said
A weekly budget for a working family’s dinner
NBC and the New York Times
They tried each day to save Obama’s campaign
But real Americans said “FU”
And Obama spiraled down the drain
His name was Barrack Hussein Obama
Running for a second Jimmy Carter term
Weak on National Security
A little, pacifist worm
The radical left-wing Democrats
A Presidential race lost once again
Is it really a surprise
They’ve lost 7 of the last 10?
Of course, HRC is counting on the people of NC and IN to actually BELIEVE that "the Oil Companies" will pay that tax.
