Obama doesn’t have to “Give ‘Em Hell.” He has already made American life a living hell. Americans need to tell Obama to go straight to hell in November of 2012.

He needs a Henry Wallace and a Strom Thurmond to triangulate against.

Good article--thanks for posting.

I for one sure hope these upcoming elections will come out the same way.

You are shaped by what you do.

Truman sold suits.

Jimmah harvested peanuts.

Professor You Lie founded the Chicago School of Bureaucratic Socialism.

Duh!

I can’t envision the Obama that rides girl’s bicycles being capable of dropping two big ones unless they were F bombs.

Because he’s the little man on the wedding cake. And let’s just say I have somebody in mind to play his scrappy, smartly-dressed, bespectacled rival. Although I think even Harry would agree she’s better looking than he was.

Of course Truman can't save Obama — He's dead! More to the point, so is his Democrat Party. Cost, as usual, has a good grasp of the fundamentals. Truman was pimping the nanny state when the nanny state was young and appealing. Obama is trying to pimp it when it is old and decrepit. There's no comparison between the two. Truman eked out a win. Obama is going to get crushed.

Truman went around the country during the 1948 campaign blasting the GOP for threatening all the popular Democratic reforms of the past decade. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the National Labor Relations Act, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and of course Social Security – all these programs and more would be threatened if those dastardly Republicans got their hands on the government! The message here was clear: The economy might be headed back into recession, so you don’t want to endanger all those important programs the Democrats designed to protect you during economically challenging times.

Just a few of the many reasons why Truman sucked.
