Optimistic GOP Governors Want a Kinder, Gentler Approach to 2010
"AUSTIN – Here's what I did not hear at the annual confab of Republican governors held here this week: The words socialist, extremist, or government takeover. With the focus on jobs, jobs and jobs, the only red meat was the Texas barbecue. And by design, there was no Obama-bashing.

"Barbour cautioned Republican candidates to refrain from attacking the president, period: 'People want the president to succeed; good Lord, they want the country to succeed, and particularly the first African-American president has a lot of goodwill. . . . We need to be careful, we need to treat the president respectfully, we need to make this about policies, not personal. . . . This is a guy people like.'"
Lets be clear . The pubs love this jive. They allow the left to do the dirty work. Even these incompetent dopes know they will get power at some point. They will love the expanded power over us and the new billions they can carve out for their pals. It's all smoke and BS .
He has a point. I think people still like Obama personally, but they HATE his policy goals. So, while attacking him personally might backfire, it’s not what needs to be done anyway. Attacking him on his policies would work and not anger people. They know his policies have to stand scrutiny just like anyone else.
