White House Needs Some Rebranding
Maybe it's too late. President Obama has lots of new plans for tax breaks and mini-stimulus packages to help get people back to work. With just two months until the mid-term elections, the ideas, while certainly not without merit, feel a little desperate. No Republican on the planet will support the plans. Not until after November, anyway. And with the president's poll numbers on the decline and polls showing possible big gains for the Republicans in the House and Senate, from a political perspective, why would you? Now, the President can say, "Look what we're trying to do. The Republicans aren't pitching in." But it doesn't feel like anyone is listening. The White House needs to do some rebranding. Weeks and months of attacks and smears have basically gone unanswered. That's why so many Americans think Barack Obama is a Muslim socialist. It's almost as if the man who talked his way to the White House has lost his voice.

AND, I've got to add this, Chuck Todd NBC and Government Media-crat used his turn during the national press conference to ask, " Mr. President, how are you going to change Washington??" Are you kidding me. This is the question of a journalist?? I know Middle School Reporters that have questions they'd like to ask that are tougher, than this one. What a SOFT-BALL QUESTION. Yes Mr. President give us another one of your speeches,one with the soaring rhetoric, maybe use the terms HOPE AND CHANGE. The way you and yours, got Obama Care Passed: Cornhusker Payoff, the Louisiana Purchase, not one even reading the bill, it's all being written by White House and Lobbyist Lawyers, PLEASE TELL US HOW YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE THAT NASTY OLD WASHINGTON!!
Mr. Smith, are you referring to the attacks and smears of the Republicans, or the attacks and smears the "great campaigner" has been launching from the White House?
Iran, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iraq . . . they aren't impressed by his pretty words and made him look a fool in public. He got taken to the shed by Nancy Pelosi who set the domestic agenda and he fell for it hook, line and sinker.
He is not qualified for the job - it is that simple.
