After debate debacle Obama engages PROJECTION over lies

The Obama campaign’s hangover has been cured by defending their lies, using the technique of calling Mitt Romney’s accurate observation that what were they were saying about HIM was not true, a lie.

They accuse Romney of lying ABOUT HIS OWN POLICIES because they cannot imagine a campaign not lying as a central strategy.

This takes Nixonian policy to new heights.

I am sure that there are plenty of exaggerations on the republican side, but the central function of the republican campaign is not an Orwellian proposition. There may be people like Mr. Hannity whose every sentence reeks with the characterization of Obama as some evil troll, but Romney is not doing this. And Mr. Hannity is certainly cancelled out by the likes of Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, vessel busting Lawrence O’Donnell  and the now comepletely unhinged Chris Matthews. 

What is unimaginable by these guys is the possibility that Mr. Romney and some others might actually enter that fray and on LIVE TV NEXT TIME, call Mr. Obama a goddamned liar and then prove it.

And there will still be no TelePrompter.

NYT:

Under fire from fellow Democrats, Mr. Obama came out swinging, accusing Mr. Romney of lying to the American people about his plans for the nation. “I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney,” Mr. Obama told 12,000 supporters during a lakeside rally. “But it couldn’t be Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts that favor the wealthy. The fellow onstage last night said he didn’t know anything about that.”

He said the Mr. Romney of the debate wanted to put more teachers in classrooms and claimed not to know companies get tax breaks for outsourcing jobs. “The man onstage last night, he does not want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney’s decisions and what he’s been saying for the last year,” the president said. “And that’s because he knows full well that we don’t want what he’s been selling for the last year.”

The vigorous assault on Mr. Romney suggested just how worried Mr. Obama’s campaign has become.

After a series of late-night and early-morning consultations, the Obama team decided to try to correct that Thursday with a more aggressive stance, including the rally rhetoric, a new television ad and a conference call questioning Mr. Romney’s truthfulness.

If that set of actions is not PROJECTION I can’t imagine what is.

Get ready because this is going to, sooner or later get a rejoinder, probably from Crossroads or some group like that.

Get ready for the Obama campaign trying to get some ringers into the next debate, a TOWN HALL scenario.

Get ready for a campaign which gets more bitter and divisive from that side every day. I’m not sure if negative tit for tat is the right answer, as satisfying as that might be. 

David Axelrod, the president’s strategist, called Mr. Romney an “artful dodger” whose debate comments were “devoid of honesty,” “rooted in deception,” “untethered to the truth” and “well delivered but fraudulent.”

“Not surprisingly, what we learned is he’ll say anything,” Mr. Axelrod said. “That makes him effective in the short term but vulnerable in the long term.” He added, “He may win the Oscar for his performance last night but he’s not going to win the presidency.”

Now, let’s imagine for a moment, if Romney spent his campaign treasury 50-50 on commercials advertising the plans HE spoke about at the debate, and the other half, pointing out Obama being a goddamned liar, with  .. Fast and Furious, Gitmo, Libya, Stupak, Vouchers, Black Panther in Phila in 2008, ‘Vote like your lady parts depend on it’, the new action of the executive BREAKING THE LAW over sequestration layoff notification, all against a background of the black jihad flag flying over the US Embassy in Cairo, graphs of the size of the US workforce, layoffs, FROM JUST THIS YEAR, graphics of the navy shrinking from 600 ships to 230, etc.

We can’t afford four more years?

The security, economy, and people of the nation cannot BEAR four more years.
