President Obama's closing argument: Don't go GOP
By: Carol E. Lee October 23, 2010 05:49 PM EDT
MINNEAPOLIS — President Barack Obama finished the longest campaign trip of his presidency Saturday much in the way he started: criticizing Republicans for wanting to take the country backward and trying to rally disheartened Democrats to the polls.
For Democratic supporters from 2008 who are thinking about switching sides this election, Obama paraphrased Albert Einstein. “The true sign of madness is if you do the same thing over and over again and expect the same result,” he said during a rally at the University of Minnesota.
“All of you have to vote,” Obama told thousands of supporters. “There is no excuse.”
The president, who was in Minnesota to stump for gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton, continued to attack Republicans by framing the election as a choice — between tax cuts for the middle class or tax cuts for the wealthy, he said, and a reformed health care, credit card and financial system or the same policies that were in place before he took office.
“We’ve got a different idea about what the future should hold for America,” Obama said. Republicans, he said, are offering “same old stuff that they have been peddling for the last decade,” whether it’s on Social Security, the environment or foreign policy.
“We believe in making sure people don’t get ripped off when they sign up for a mortgage,” Obama said, suggesting Republicans don’t. “That’s the choice in this election.”

This is precisely why I plan on tuning into MSNBC to watch Matthews et al. fall apart the night of Nov. 2.
The press photographers are all trying to make it seem like the hopeychange glory days all over again. If you have a strong stomach:

You LIE! This evil little twerp NEVER finishes campaigning. If he's not campaigning, he's golfing.
God, I don't know if I can take two more years of this Useless-Waste-Of-Oxygen.
“The true sign of madness is if you do the same thing over and over again and expect the same result,”
Last time they voted Democrat and look what they got.
Does the fool even know what he said?
I hope that line goes down the same path as...”America, stay out the bushes...” Quoted by the same Race Pimp that tried to tell us Jesus didn’t speak English. Guess you are, just a little bit, like Jesus, Jesse.
-—“All of you have to vote,” Obama told thousands of supporters. “There is no excuse.” -—
I wonder how many of those “supporters” were illegal.
““The true sign of madness is if you do the same thing over and over again and expect the same result,” he said during a rally at the University of Minnesota.”
I think the correct quotation should read “It’s insanity to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.”
Well, Barack the nation tried the Dems in 2006 and again in 2008.....they’d be nuts to elect them again in 2010!
And a great orator. He only lives in front of a teleprompter so as to level the playing field with all of the lesser humans that are burdened with speaking using only 3x5 cards with outline notes.
This "charismatic" speaker would have been laughed out of my college speech class in 1972.
He's such an idiot. The saying is exactly the reverse: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a DIFFERENT result. What a fool. Where are his college records? I bet he never took a course that wasn't "pass-fail."
This guy is sounding more and more like Kim Jong Il by the day.
There is no excuse for not supporting his path of destruction?
Sheesh, what a psychologically disturbed person.
Reverse Operation Chaos

Operation Jackass
Rush sure knows how to shape Obama’s thinking.
