Major Fail - Obama Attacks Romney From The Left

Vanity

[Williams]

Obama is saying Romney's "47%" remarks are the "exact opposite" of Obama's "bitter clingers" statement - and Obama is right! Romney was criticizing liberals and their dependents. Obama criticized God fearing working people.

How can Obama benefit from this? He can't. If Romney had dissed the working middle class, now that would be news. But this attack on Romney comes from the left, it identifies Obama as a leftist. Obama is defending the people who are dependent, non working.

By spreading Romney's remarks in the media, remarks which most people will agree with, Obama might as well have produced an ad for Romney. Obama is showing his political rear end, because he's telling the American people that he finds these common sense remarks to be offensive.

Same with Romney's Palestinian comment. If you inhabit a college campus you probably think the Palestinians are the most victimized people on Earth. But the average American has no sympathy for the Palestinians, especially when our embassies are being attacked, an ambassador murdered, our troops being shot in Afghanistan, Israel threatened.

Other than right after the original 9/11, I can't think of a worse time to attack a candidate for criticizing the Palestinians. Again, it shows that Obama is viewing this all as a leftist, and thinks people will be outraged.

And then the video was found by Jimmy Carter's grandson! Come on, can you imagine anything worse than a misguided ad for Barack Obama, and the closing statement is "Paid For By That Other Failed President, Jimmy Carter!"

I've got a great film analogy for the press reaction to this. The Search For Red October. The Russian captain has off loaded his crew so he can defect to the United States and give us their latest nuclear submarine. Underwater, a US sub is blowing up another Russian sub that came to stop the Red October.

As the Russian sub is blown up (and fittingly by its own redirected torpedo) The Russian sailors in lifeboats are shouting "Look, Captain is fighting the Americans!"

That is the mainstream press with these videos. They think they are seeing the Romney campaign blowing up, and they have stupidly targeted Obama.

Yes- good analogy. But of more interest since the MSM is so orgasmic over the 47% remarks...

That is the less reported remarks re: Israel/Palestine. The MSM will know that the Israeli Government will see those remarks, and have a true understanding of which candidate is on which side for real, as if they already didn't have a pretty good idea...

yep.
Carter’s grandson, has actually hurt Obama,
with most working citizens (including union workers!),
and with Jews and people who support Israel.
-
those Carter genes for “epic fail”, are amazing !

I thought Zero's campaign was the first Dem campaign in history to blow off white people with jobs who pay taxes. Who, I guess, are irrelevant to the Great Leader's Welfare State plans.

My lefty friends always ask, “Why are you a ‘righty’ they’re rich, you’re not rich?” I reply, “If the Republican’s voters are made up of “rich people” and the democrat’s voters are made up of poor people, who do you think Democrats want to create more of?” They reply, “it’s Bush’s fault” Not really. They usually have no reply.

May ethe elephant in the room actually willgetaddressed in this election. I agree this issue does not ultimately help Obama. Mass media and ruling elites do not get it.

I hope the media stay on this story. I think it will damage Obama by exposing him for what he really is.

I hope (but doubt) Romney doubles down on the 47% and the Palestinian claims. He should call Obummer’s bet and re-raise BIG TIME.

Romney ignores the Tea Party and hard-core conservatives but he really needs them. And this is a solid-gold way to appeal to the conservative grassroots by stating an obvious fact.

People who have jobs are SICK AND TIRED of being bled dry with taxes to pay for the Dependent Class. We’ve all seen the abuses and we’re tired of paying for it.

As for the Palestinians, Romney is again exactly right and everybody knows it. The Palis want to kill Israelis, nothing more. They will never agree to any plan that doesn’t include the destruction of Israel.

He should start by calling for a cut-off of all foreign aid to any nation that opposes our goals and values. Nothing for Palestinians, for starters, and the list goes on from there.
