Obama and the media will have succeeded in changing the subject from the economic disintegration

Right.

It shows up a continuous problem the Republicans have had for decades -- getting their message out.

Too many in the GOP try to make friends with the MSM. They eventually find the MSM stabbing them in their backs. But they continue to try.

McCain couldn't find a way to get 'his message' out in 2008, as The One was lauded and treated like he was about to ascend to Olympus.

Many commentators have stated -- for 2012, Obama can't run on his record because he has little to run on, so he has to change the message -- away from the bad economy.

If Team Romney and the GOP can capitalize on that, they might have a winning issue. In 1992, Clinton ran very effectively on "It's the economy, Stupid!" Obama can't run on that because he has had 3.5 years and done little to improve the economy.

Team Romney need to be ready for The Race Card. Obama used it effectively against both Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Team Obama will definitely use it [more Travon type headliners could be in our future].

Team Romney need to realize that the MSM are not their friends and Team Romney need to approach the MSM as such.

Maybe, Romney will have better advisement than McCain had. Otherwise, Obama will continue to play the victim of every ill being someone else's fault all the way to a 2nd term.

Yes, Congressional Republicans need to explain exactly why they voted against the Stimulus and Health Care bills. There are plenty of examples of the results that were predictable, and the legislation itself.

It’s interesting about Obama and the press. I watched the panel on Fox News Sunday and it was all about the Washinton Post’s infamous screed about how Romney committed a hate crime in high school.

Apparently the Post made this a magazine length front page story according to Brit Hume who was disgusted by the Post. He makes sense but he’s not fiery. Way too much time given to Juan Williams as always (or does it just seem that way because he’s so hard to listen to).

The Post seems to be footnoting this non-story about Obama being okay with gay marriage by implying that Romney is a mean and raging homophobe.

If you believe the story, (and I don’t) he got a little cadre of equally mean boys to hold a boy who was perceived to be gay and had long blond curls down while torture was inflicted on the boy ... the torture consisting of using scissor on him.

No, he wasn’t stabbed or otherwise mutilated but he lost his curls.

What a silly story and the family of the boy featured is furious that their family member is being used as a political ... why do they always say football? Wouldn’t some other ball work. Anyway the family made one dignified statement and said no further comments would be forthcoming.

anyway, nobody on the panel chose to wonder about the total lack of interest by the press in anything Obama has ever done from birth to the presidency. Not One Person.

Did Obama get a pass because he is black? No. Herman Cain is black. He didn’t get a pass.

I guess it has to be the perfect combination : black & liberal/socialist.
