Obama's Midterm Strategy: Do No Harm

September 1, 2014, 2:20 PM Obama's Midterm Strategy: Do No Harm

WASHINGTON - For Democrats facing tough re-election campaigns this fall, an appearance with their somewhat unpopular party leader may be more of a hindrance than a help.

Aware of that fact, President Obama has focused his midterm election strategy around ways he can do the least harm to his party this fall. Chiefly, that means bringing in the cash.

Though Democrats haven't always been satisfied with the president's commitment to fundraising in past election cycles, there's little they can complain about this year. During the 2014 season, Mr. Obama has headlined 40 events so far with more planned for the fall.

Closer to Nov. 4, Mr. Obama will do radio interviews and online appearances, and will work on turning out certain voter groups, like young people and African-Americans. He will likely campaign for a few individual candidates, White House officials say, but mostly those running for House seats and the governor's mansions in states like Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

So then the strategy of EVERY Republican should be: An “arrow” pointing to their opponent: “Funded by Obama, Pelosi, Harry Reid!”....

If 0bama’s policy actually were “First do no harm.”, he would have resigned on January 21, 2009.

do nothing until the election is behind him. then do executive orders on everything from immigration to mass pardons.

remember 2012. that’s exactly what they did with the worst features of ACA — kept them hidden until they got past election day.

Do no harm, except to the economy, to gun rights, to individual liberty, to self-reliance ... those sorts of things. They’re ok to harm. And they will be harmed.

Just when one begins to wonder what more irreversible harm could he do: domestic, foreign, to American culture, the courts, race relations, civility, the armed forces, the IRS, and the constitution. All aided and abetted by his pals in Hollywood and the servile mainstream media. This, my dear friends, is no longer the United States than what it was six years ago.

Yep. Our country is on the skids. We need to turn it around or many of us will have to leave it or fight to retake it.

Not a good political “Labor Day” for Obama, Biden, & The Ferguson “Michael Brown” Black racists!!! Lousy turnouts for Biden (Detroit, 400 people....all union thugs), Obama, (Milwaukee 5,000...all union thugs) and the would be cop murderer, druggie, criminal and Obamabot thug supporters, just about cancelled their massive traffic tieups in Missouri and throughout the rest of the country (No one came).

Methinks African-Americans are getting it, possibly!!! However they are still badly adrift at sea without either a paddle or any honest, real, effective leadership!!! Once they get real, and realize that Obama has thrown them under the bus....they might.....they just might move forward toward opportunity and success!!! Hint, African-Americans....”FAMILY ROCKS”!!! Ya know...like having a real Mom & Dad in the household...all the time!!!

“Do Nothing”...

Almost as good as "we have no plan."

Obama’s bringing in big money from the party faithful.
He may be scorned by a lot of us, but the donors are solid.

This is what CBS considers to be "no harm":

Obama’s brain was fried by drugs, long ago.

In his “Dreams” book, Obama proudly admitted to his youthful “enthusiastic use of drugs.”

Simple words such as “to” and “people” are pronounced “tuh” and “folks” respectively.

Obama has spoken no ideas that will be retained in the history of great speeches.

Obama’s public speaking is restricted to a carefully controlled audience where the act of BOOing is forcefully prohibited.

Obama’s brain is useless without a teleprompter to keep him on a topic.

Without a teleprompter, Obama play-acts out a “Devil made me do that,” shuffle and jive Role in a fake Southern accent.

Without an advisor to tell him what to do, Obama is terrified to “go it alone.”

Obama’s lack of a strong Foreign Policy advisor accounts for Obama’s obvious mental confusion in Foreign Policy and Military matters.

Obama follows orders from his advisors domestically, and thus has no problem “going it alone” domestically because his top aides tell him what to do, and then defend Obama flawlessly.

Obama chose, at the request of his advisors to negotiate with terrorists with the deal he made to release the GITMO FIVE in order to beef up ISIS at an opportune time for them.

Without Valerie Jarrett to write Obama’s speeches, and tell Obama what to do, the drugged stupor that Obama was in during his 2012 TV Denver Debate with Romney would be a monthly drug stupor spectacle.

As Obama’s fragile administration continues to fail, Obama is sent out of the Oval Office more frequently to perform simple tasks, such as Shuffle and Jive Role speeches at controlled rallies or controlled Democrat Donation functions. or Golf games with a tightly controlled guest list.

Obama’s recent admission that after 5.5 years of on-the-job-training to be the Commander in Chief, he still does not have a strategy for America’s number one enemy since 9-11-2001: Militant Muslims.

This was exactly what Obama’s advisors have tried so hard to avoid: showing the American Public that Obama does not have the mental capacity to be the Commander in Chief of the United States Military.

Obama will resign ONLY if Harry Reid tells Valerie Jarrett that Obama must resign for the good of the Democrat Party.

What is good for the Country is of NO concern to Reid or Jarrett.

"There is at least one bright spot for Obama: After a deeply flawed rollout, the Affordable Care Act no longer appears to be a major factor weighing down Democrats as it did earlier this year."

CBS is clearly having no trouble getting its meds.

I doubt that he would resign for that. By his own standards, Obama has been a great success. If Harry Reid doesn't agree, it's Harry's problem.
