James Carville’s polling firm to Obama: Nobody believes that the economy’s recovering anymore
Hot Air ^ | 6/12/12 | Allahpundit

Tough stuff from Team Serpenthead. What’s a president to do when he can’t run on the idea that America’s better off now than it was four years ago? Simple. Run on the idea that America will be better off four years from now if it gives him another term. 2008: The future is now. 2012: No, wait, we mean the future is now.

Hope and change — they’re always a day away.

What is clear from this fresh look at public consciousness on the economy is how difficult this period has been for both non-college-educated and college-educated voters – and how vulnerable the prevailing narratives articulated by national Democratic leaders are. We will face an impossible headwind in November if we do not move to a new narrative, one that contextualizes the recovery but, more importantly, focuses on what we will do to make a better future for the middle class.

It is elites who are creating a conventional wisdom that an incumbent president must run on his economic performance – and therefore must convince voters that things are moving in the right direction. They are wrong, and that will fail. The voters are very sophisticated about the character of the economy; they know who is mainly responsible for what went wrong and they are hungry to hear the President talk about the future. They know we are in a new normal where life is a struggle – and convincing them that things are good enough for those who have found jobs is a fool’s errand. They want to know the plans for making things better in a serious way – not just focused on finishing up the work of the recovery…

Back in 2009, OZERO took an economy that was om the verge of going bad and created a DISASTER with his big tax hikes and spending binge. It will take years to recover from the damage.

I’m getting a kick out of the price of gas coming down. $3.49 here. This started after Barry said there was absolutely nothing he could do to bring cost of gasoline down. LOL! Way to go Barry. You should have kept your big mouth shut.

Bob Beckel was on Fox news this morning and stated, but without much enthusiasm, that Americans are better off today then they were four years ago. It was really pathetic to watch that liberal goon trying to sell that drivel.

“I got cussed out on facebook because I shared an article about obama girl from 2008 is not backing obama this time.”

That is because the Truth burns like fire for those not use to hearing it. imagine the Truth of God and how it will burn those who have rejected his Truth, sort of like being in Hell for eternity I think.

I honestly believe that if Romney is elected, he streamlines Federal Tax Regulations lowering rates and eliminating loop holes. He reigns in the EPA (fire a vast majority of those in the department and reduce their funding by 50% or more) and eliminates regulations. The economy will quickly recover.

If he unshackles the oil producers and ramps up production, the economy will boom!It only took 18 months for the economy to turn around AFTER Reagan pushed through his plans, Over the objections of his ‘friend’ Tip (drunken Lout) O’Neal. By the time he ran for reelection the economy was growing at close to double digits in GDP growth and millions of NEW jobs where added to the economy!

I can’t imagine, or maybe I just don’t want to, what it must be like to have to lie constantly and to always have to fear that someone in the media is going to say out loud what everybody already knows and then to have to personally attack anyone who tells the truth. All it would take is for someone in the dominant liberal media to turn on him and cry that the emperor has no clothes and it would be over.
