The candidate of hope has become the candidate of fear:

Obama's campaign is just about attacking Romney who he claims will turn the clock back 50 years for immigrants, women and gays.

Obama’s focus is not on his own record but on tearing Romney down personally in exactly the way he decried four years ago.

He seems to believe that the load road is his only route back to the White House in 2012. It is the kind of strategy that Candidate Obama in 2008 would have viewed as beneath contempt.

There was all the standard stump stuff about ‘Romnesia’ – a term dreamt up in the bowels of the Left-wing blogosphere and adopted by the Obama campaign this month as part of its closing argument in this election.

The word is a cute enough campaign term, though perhaps not quite something you would expect from a President of the United States who has been hailed for the world historical significance and beauty of his rhetoric.

Certainly, Romney is rightly vulnerable on the issue of shifting policy positions. But ‘Romnesia’ , as Obama aides have made clear, is about saying that Romney cannot be trusted. It’s about calling the former Massachusetts governor a liar.

Obama has signally failed to woo Republicans in Washington and there is precious little evidence he has even tried. Today, we learned that when asked by a ‘Rolling Stone’ editor whether he had a message for the editor’s six-year-old daughter took the opportunity to describe Romney as ‘a bulls***tter’.

Almost all politicians – though not Romney – swear in private. But for a President of the United States to describe his opponent publicly in such a way was beneath the dignity of his office.

No, that's wrong. Obama today is the same Obama that campaigned in 2008. The difference is, he never needed the negative campaign meme with McCain, because McCain ran a poor campaign, plus so many dunderhead Americans were in love with the idea of the first Black president, and didn't look under the cover.

Oh, I totally agree. The article was reporting the Obama BS that was spewed 4 yrs ago and the 180 degree turn around he has made now that he’s using the same tactics he pretended to be so against back then.

Article says the Obama of ‘08 would’ve been against doing what he is right now.

Actually, Obama never meant what he said back then. It was just a bunch of rhetoric on a teleprompter meant to fool the public that he was above politics and would be a great force for good if elected.

Therefore, the REAL Obama was never against doing this. It was merely the FAKE Obama that pretended to be...

(more Obama-BS)

Monday - he told the crowd that a vote for Romney would plunge Americans back to the early 1960s.

‘You can choose to turn the clock back 50 years for women and immigrants and gays,’ he said.

Article is spot on
Obama can’t run on his record
And that fact would make a great AD
