This 7 time loser forgets that Truman went out on a whistlstop and the American people found him an honest broker. Obummer has no bond with the public at all after his vacation summer and constant lies on the economy. Shrummy thinks he sounds good? He can’t even pack a community college with an audience. Only preaches to small groups of union thugs.

“This 7 time loser forgets that Truman went out on a whistlstop and the American people found him an honest broker.”

And more important Truman was on the ballot and ran hard against a guy who thought he was ahead so didnt try.
And even then Truman barely won.

Obama is not on the ballot. HIS AGENDA IS. AND HE CANT DEFEND IT.

I think the jibe against Truman was that he was too ordinary--too much like the average man. Obama is an elitist whose instincts are 180 degrees from the average person's.

Truman served in WWI and did good service in the Senate before being selected as FDR's running mate by the party leaders who kne FDR wouldn't survive another 4 years and needed someone better than Henry Wallace to be the next President. Truman dropped the bombs that ended WWII, saved West Berlin from Stalin, rescued Europe in the Marshall Plan, went to South Korea's rescue (the last was after his victory in 1948). He made a lot of mistakes and was overly partisan, but in no way does his resume resemble Obama's.
