A lot of pundits and voters have been wondering: What exactly is different between Obama’s 2012 campaign promises and his original 2008 campaign promises? Because to the casual observer, he seems to be running for president as a challenger, as if this was his first time.
A few hours ago I ran across a campaign sign in front of a house in Pacific Grove, California which seemed to sum up Obama’s promised second-term agenda:
Re-use, recycle, rehash!
(In case it’s not clear, this efficiency-minded Obama voter simply took an “Obama ’08″ sign and scribbled out part of the “0″ and part of the “8″ to make it look vaguely like “Obama ’12.”) A perfect metaphor for Obama’s idea-free campaign!
To my eyes, it looks like the “R” that the Romney/Ryan campaign is using. A line drawn through “Obama” would make this sign perfect!
Like this?
I’ll try again: like this?
That’s the ticket!
To paraphrase, then: You can keep your mouth shut and have people assume you’re stupid, or you can put out a sign and make a spectacle of it.
I was rather surprised to come across a very telling photo of Obama yesterday: http://occidentalsoapbox.blogspot.ca/2009/01/obamas-first-phone-call-as-president-is.html#links
If you look at the photo, the Smartest President Ever (TM) is holding the phone the wrong way around. He’s speaking into the speaker and listening at the microphone end!
Unless the photo was PhotoShopped, it paints him as am almost unbelievably stupid dumb@$$. I realize he probably uses cell phones more than land lines but surely he must still remember how to use a corded landline phone!
Sorry to say, but that Obama “upside-down phone” photo was debunked within hours of being originally photoshopped — but for some reason it keeps circulating! I haven’t encountered anyone who thought it was real in at least three years.
