The optics of Boehner golfing with Obama all favor Obama.
He’s the one who’s been taking hits for playing golf incessantly instead of 1) actually caring about the effects of his devastation of the economy or 2) actually working to undo the ill he’s caused.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have Michelle out there campaigning about how tirelessly Obama works and how truly he cares about those suffering in this economy. You also wouldn’t have Michele out there dinging Barry for his lack of ‘empathy’.
Boehner’s golfing with Barry gives three chits to the re-elect Obama effort and takes a couple of quivers out the GOP’s campaigning bow.
If we convince that everyone Barry is moving right then his base will crumble. It's all a matter of spin if you're looking at the politics... and of course the conservatives are spinning themselves into the ground...again.
We need to help our reps with positive spin for them and negative for the libs not the other way around.
The spin I may done is that “Obama was forced to meet conservatives to negotiate the government cuts, with Boehner bringing in one of the great balance budget leaders John Kaisch to “teach” Obama how it is done.”
Bringing in John Kaisch is a stroke of genius for Boehner.
