Day By Day August 24, 2012 – Profit
President Obama will need more and more campaign cash since Mitt Romney has been able to out fund raise Obama.
Since the President does not have much of a record on which to run, he will need the ad buys to slime his opponent in the key battleground states. But, why shouldn’t Obama go on the stump for cash?
He certainly has not been very good at governance.

Day By Day August 23, 2012 – Additions
The honeymoon with President Obama and the Lame Stream Media has been over for a while, but the persistent bias in coverage persists. Obama simply avoids the White House press corps and gives soft, puff piece interviews for the more pop-culture, grocery store rags.
Obama no longer has the compelling “Hope and Change” mantra of 2008. The President has lost his MOJO.
The Newsweek cover is funny, but who reads Newsweek or Time Magazine anymore? It reaches and influences nobody.
Today’s social media world has changed politics and Presidential campaigns. No more hiding from the “press” or a President hiding in the Rose Garden, behind their favorite print columnists.The POLS will either have to ENGAGE the voters or perish.

There will be many…..

Hillary Clinton: Not Interested in Running as Obama’s Vice President
According to a new report written by New York Times best-selling author, Ed Klein.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pressed by her husband and a top Obama aide to consider replacing Vice President Joe Biden just a couple of weeks ago, claims the author of the New York Times bestseller “The Amateur.”
But Clinton, exhausted from four years of international travel and diplomacy, shrugged off the suggestion to lay the groundwork for her own 2016 bid with her husband at her side, according to author Ed Klein.
“As recently as a couple of weeks ago, the White House was putting out feelers to see if Hillary Clinton was interested in replacing Joe Biden on the ticket,” Klein told Secrets. “Bill Clinton, I’m told, was urging his wife to accept the number two spot if it was formally offered. Bill sees the vice presidency as the perfect launching pad for Hillary to run for president in 2016.”
He made similar comments Thursday night to CNBC’s Larry Kudlow. The White House has dismissed speculation of a Clinton for Biden swap despite a string of recent gaffes by the vice president.
Klein, whose book is No. 2 on the NYT bestseller list, quoted unnamed sources who revealed that top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett put the vice presidency on the table during a lunch with the secretary of state. “The lunch was ostensibly about policy issues, but the subject of the vice presidency came up,” he said. “Hillary told Valerie Jarrett that she was not interested in running as Obama’s vice president.”
Klein said she cited two reasons: If elected, she didn’t want to be tied to Obama’s left-leaning politics in her own 2016 bid. Second, if Obama loses, she would be tarred as a loser.
There is little doubt that Hillary Clinton is the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee for 2016.
And, she does need to rest, recharge from a whirlwind duty of keeping Obama’s foreign policy together.
Plus, there is a very good chance that Obama will lose in November and she does not want to go down with the Titanic.
This is a good leak from the Clinton Cabal to make sure everyone knows that Obama did not choose Biden over Hillary, but that Hillary told the President to go pound sand.
Also, she is running in 2016 for the White House – get out of her way.

Joe Biden Being Taken to the White House Woodshed?
Matt Drudge is certainly having some fun with today’s Joe Biden/Hillary Clinton White House meeting.
President Barack Obama and his mistake-prone vice president, Joe Biden, are having lunch today, a weekly occurrence that takes on far more significance than usual in the wake of controversy surrounding several of Biden’s recent statements.
While the lunch was probably already scheduled, it’s practically impossible that Biden’s campaign trail remarks will fail to come up given the clamor they have provoked. There is even a growing chorus of suggestions – mainly from Republicans – that Biden is not up to the job and should be replaced on the ticket.
The session could easily end up a trip to the woodshed for Biden or, though it’s unlikely, something far worse.
Biden this week suggested that Gov. Mitt Romney would put African Americans back chains and, in a separate appearance, indicated that we are all still living in the 20th century. The statements are just the latest in a series of mistakes – assuming the comment about African Americans was unscripted – in the past few months that have raised concerns about Biden.
Making the switch to Hillary would energize the Democratic Party and would be better for Obama’s re-election chances in some of the key battleground states. But, does Hillary want the job, especially since should Obama lose in 2012, she would be come the presumptive nominee in 2016?
Team Obama is undoubtedly nervous about Biden’s gaffes and whether “Slow” Joe is up to the task as he approaches 70.
How the President will frame the Biden scolding delicately, may be a challenge.

Video: Joe Biden Living in the Wrong Century With Another Gaffe
“Slow” Joe Biden has done it again – committed another gaffe.
Mr. Vice President, we live in the 21st century and have been for over twelve years.
Here is the video below:
Hillary may be warming up in the bullpen. But, Obama better move quick.
President Barack Obama has slightly more than 22 days to drop Vice Presidential Joe Biden from the 2012 Democratic presidential ticket, according to lawyers familiar with the party nominating process. That is, Democrats have until September 6 to formally nominate their presidential ticket which will then be qualified for the 50 state ballots.

Giuliani: Biden “Unfit” for the Vice Presidency
Careful now, Rudy, or Obama will throw “Slow” Joe Biden over the cliff and pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate.
Giuliani’s comments were made after the Vice President’s remarks yesterday about ‘They’re Going to Put Y’all Back in Chains’.
Here is the video:
And, the transcript:
KUDLOW: You know, what did he say? ‘Y’all going to be put back in chains’? That almost has racial overtones, Rudy Giuliani. What’s your take on that?
GIULIANI: Well, I think if it came from somebody serious maybe we’d get all excited about it. But the — I think the vice president of the United States has become a laugh line on late night television. I mean, he — I’ve never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things. I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it. I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. And people think, ‘Well, he just talks a little too much.’ Actually he’s just not very smart.
Again, is this a plot to get rid of Biden?
I cannot envision a weaker, gaffe-prone Vice Presidential candidate.

Video: Romney Goes on the Attack to “Save Medicare” from ObamaCare
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan today unveiled an ad to be broadcast in key battleground states that attacks President Obama and his ObamaCare health reform legislation.In what is viewed to be a pre-emptive strike against Democratic criticisms of Ryan’s efforts in the House to reform Medicare, Romney is shooting the first shot across Obama’s bow.
Here is the ad:
Now, the Romney ad team will be able to build upon their own narrative not the negative portrayal of the national Democratic Party and their minions in the mainstream media.

Romney Wants Obama to Disavow Biden’s ‘They’re Going to Put Y’all Back in Chains’
Of course, “The One” will NEVER apologize for “Slow” Joe over his obviously thinly veiled racist comments this morning. The comments were specifically about bank deregulation but everyone knew what he meant – especially before at least half an African-American audience.
Here is the video, once again:
In any event, Team Romney is outraged.
Mitt Romney’s campaign blasted President Obama’s team for hitting a “new low” after Vice President Biden suggested to voters that the Republican ticket’s economic policies would “put y’all back in chains.” Biden made the remark while campaigning Tuesday in Virginia, during a discussion of Wall Street regulation. “They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules — unchain Wall Street,” Biden said. “They’re going to put y’all back in chains. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing.”
Romney’s campaign said the remarks showed the president is determined to run a negative campaign. “After weeks of slanderous and baseless accusations leveled against Gov. Romney, the Obama campaign has reached a new low,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said. “The comments made by the vice president of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama campaign will say and do anything to win this election.” Saul then called on the president to say whether he condoned Biden’s language. “President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden’s comments,” Saul said.
The gaffe-prone Biden has put his foot in his mouth again. But, wait, maybe it is a set up so that Obama could excuse “Slow” Joe and substitute in Hillary Clinton.
Maybe the polls are just that bad….

Day By Day August 14, 2012 – Vegetables
Chris, should President Obama win re-election (which is more probable, since beating an incumbent President is always difficult), he would be the lamest of lame ducks ever in American history. Since the GOP control of the House will NOT flip this election cycle and the Senate will be almost evenly split, there will be NO further movement on ANY of Obama’s policy agendas.
But, will stagnation be good for America?
GOP reforms may have to wait, but election prospects look FAR better than in January 2009, when Obama was inaugurated.
