In a move that will make some Democrats shudder, Obama’s high command has even studied former President George W. Bush’s 2004 takedown of Sen. John Kerry, a senior campaign adviser told POLITICO, for clues on how a president with middling approval ratings can defeat a challenger.
“First, they’ve got to like you, and there’s not a lot to like about Mitt Romney,” said Chicago Democratic consultant Pete Giangreco, who worked on Obama’s 2008 campaign. “There’s no way to hide this guy and hide his innate phoniness.”

The second aspect of the campaign to define Romney is his record as CEO of Bain Capital, a venture capital firm that was responsible for both creating and eliminating jobs. Obama officials intend to frame Romney as the very picture of greed in the great recession — a sort of political Gordon Gekko.
Hey, that’s the FR plan too. ;-)
Fun. These idiots are going to focus all their money and time destroying someone who shouldn’t even be running while the Conservative candidates keep on truckin’. This works for me.
Romney is such a victim.
I almost can shed a tear for him.
Nawwwww, don’t think I will.
As other’s have said, it’s FreeRepublic’s plan as well, on this we can agree with OZero!
Obama plan: Try to inspire republicans to defend Romney.
That’s OK I’ll pass.
Theres not much there to destroy...
Mitt has already been on self destruct for quite some time.
When you can’t run on anything that you have done over your time as a failure, errr, I mean POTUS..... =.=
HA! Hilarious! IF OweBama’s phonyness can be hidden during a campaign the anyone can be elected.
The dems are making the same mistake the republicans made last time around when they were attacking the most viable candidate at the time—Hillary Clinton.
Works for me too.
And we are supposed to believe this, right? That they would telegraph their strategy to take down Romney? because?
This is silly. They want us to think they fear romney and this is the best they could do? Oh, yeah, They are ready for him.
BS. They love him precisely because they already know why WE don’t. But they gotta pretend.
They ain’t getting ready for romney. They are promoting him because they are scared to death of Sarah Palin. They CAN’T get ready for her.
Good, they save us the work.
Well hell just froze over... I agree with obama about something! Destroying mitt romney!
LLS
A vicious character assassination of his opponent
His media whores will run a propaganda campaign that would make Herr Goebbels blush
Vote fraud
Win the moron vote, the brain-dead legions that line up for “Obama money!” from his stash
Well this is encouraging in a couple respects. First, I’m all for anyone who is out to undermine Romney politically. Secondly, that they think Romney is going to win the nomination only illustrates how far out of touch they are with the electorate.
Romney is a squish, and zer0 is a bigger squish. Any type of character contrasts they attempt to draw with Romney or anyone else will blow up in their face. Like the movie to be released 10/2012 about zer0’s fearless decision making in the OBL flim flam. Any attempt to characterize this guy as a strong leader is going to come off as satire at this point. As was made evident again yesterday in another televised, scripted disaster, this guy personifies weakness and blame shifting.
bingo- i agree with your sentiment though i don’t think romney is the most viable candidate...i also don;t think palin/perry/bachmann will split the votes enough for romney to slip through- once perry enters i think he will garner the majority of the votes...
Why should Obama bother? Romney can destroy himself.
There is no topic that Romney hasn’t been on both sides of, including Cannibalism (I’m speculating here).
Of course, the one thing that Obama is fantastic at, is epic FAILs - so maybe Obama can help Romney win....
well good....destroy Romney....then we will vote in Palin....
Perry and Palin are not running. Of the 3 conservatives, Bachmann is polling even or better than Romney where it counts. There won’t be a split. Even if Perry gets in, it will be whittled down to just one or two Conservatives and they will beat Romney into submission once people see there is a viable Conservative that can win.
Your analogy of McLame doesn’t make sense. There was only one Conservative in the ‘08 race and as I recall and Fred folded like a cheap umbrella early. Who was the split between?
