Surrogates for the president's campaign are pushing back early against criticism on the economy, and are developing lines of attack against his potential Republican opponents, especially Mitt Romney.
"It's not going to be 2008 'Yes, we can' anymore. I think it's going to be slash-and-burn," said Democratic pollster Paul Maslin. "We have an embattled incumbent who doesn't have much hope of improving his standing except by point of comparison with his Republican opponent. It's going to be a very different kind of election that's going to be brutal, to be honest."

The Obama campaign will no doubt be brutal but
it will be, like his administration, far from
honest.
Maslin forgets Odummy now has a record full of failures that Republicans/Conservatives can use against him, and we will with as much brutality as we can muster. We don’t need to lie cheat or steal to get rid of him.
That’s why they will be more vicious in attacking the Republican candidate, to take attention from Obama’s miserable record.
Don’t forget they already started to call the Tea Party “terrorists” and it’s only the beginning.
“far from honest.”
And this is an understatement. If they won’t find something negative to magnify out of proportion, they will just make things up. They don’t want to give up power and will do everything to keep it.
I hope we have the good sense to run his own “Raising the debt ceiling demonstrates leadership failure” speech as a commercial.
Oh who cares about their desperate “attacks”?
Reality is clear as day, and these fools cant BS their way out of this.
Unfortunately they CAN fool a lot of people. Just look at the recent polls regarding the debt ceiling debacle — people are blaming the Republicans more, because the MSM is just another arm of the Democrats.
Poll: Disapproval of Congress hits all-time high

“The survey, taken on August 2nd and 3rd - immediately after the deal was reached - found Americans more frustrated with congressional Republicans than their Democratic counterparts when it came to the negotiations. “
Conservatives are also more frustrated with Republicans because they are supposed to know better
When they attack us like this they are preaching to the choir. I believe most people in this country are sick and tired of their nasty games. Remember their “age of civility”? We need to hound them with that. Look how viscious Matthews is and he has so few viewers.
I believe we will win this war, we just have to be very aware of our enemies.
When your alleged leader puts you in the mud pit; it’s kind of hard to protest.
Unfortunately, negative campaigning does work — people don’t check the facts, they just remember and believe the negative things that are said about someone.
And while the Dems are pulling out all the stops on negativity, remember McCain’s statement “we have nothing to fear of an Obama presidency”.
And now Bobby Jindal pipes up “urging caution” about attacking Obama.

We have so many to choose from.
I have already seen a few that were very good.They will lie and attack about SS, medicare, medicaid, killing grandma, all of their old stand-bys. People are tired of their tricks.
I’m sure our campaigning will be negative also, and brutal but it will be done with complete honesty concerning their messiahs record. I hope we come out swinging and get as brutal with them as they are with us.
We have his loust recird to work with. If the republicans ignore it and do a McCain...then we have a problem.
Remember, Obama led from behind on the debt ceiling fiasco and walked out of a meeting in a snit.
We all know his record, and I pray we have thugs on our side that know how to use brass knuckles. I feel some fear, but I think we will do okay. We just have to get this fool out of the WH.
LOL. This poll also shows Obama with a 48% approval rate. You mean to tell me that after weeks of terrible economic news and his pathetic actions during the debt ceiling battle this schmuck can garner a 48% approval rate? BRAVO SIERRA! CBS/NYT polls are usually among the worst sampled polling data in the business. Hell, they had Obama at 57A/37D in May with a sample size of 532 adults!
After Romney's brief campaign appearance at the mall had ended, local Democratic officials were at the scene, telling reporters that many of the businesses there had been closed during George W. Bush's administration. The Democratic rebuttal became part of TV and newspaper accounts of the event.
Once again all they had was "It's Bushes Fault". It is a loser. And the only ones that they could get to report it was the liberal media with no audience.
Good luck with this slash and burn idea Obummer. There is no running from your failed record.
Really? You are in a funk over a C-BS poll? That is rediculous. Why don’t you try this one that has a bit more credibility.

GALLUP”
Obummer approval rolling 3 day averages August 1-3
Approve 41%
Disapprove 51%
“Obama has the street fighters on his side, while our side is playing tiddly winks.”
Exactly. And in the meantime Jindal says things like:
“I have no doubt that President Obama loves this country, I have no doubt that he spends every day trying to make things better, and I have no doubt that President Obama wants the best for this country.”
