Yes, America - Obama DOES Think We're That Stupid!

By Correctamundo

We've seen the many tactics and distractions from the Obama campaign and the left during these past few months: Romney's taxes, Ann's horses, Paul Ryan's abs, or even "LOOK! A squirrel!"  Anything and everything to get the focus off of Obama's failed record and presidency.  His support is dwindling, his magic is gone. But now they've stepped it up a notch to explain things away.  When I read it, I just started laughing.  So if you're sitting at your computer or using your iPad or some other expensive electronic device to read this, make sure you're not drinking something at the same time.  You WILL spit it out and short-circuit yourself ~ you've been forwarned!

“We have plenty of time for big rallies,” a campaign spokeswoman (for Obama), Jen Psaki, said between the rallies on Thursday. “Our focus right now is on exciting our supporters and winning over undecided voters and the smaller and medium-size events are the best venue to accomplish that because the president can closely engage with the crowd."

Big rallies are expensive, especially given the logistical and security challenges for a president as opposed to a mere United States senator. And Obama campaign operatives, both at the Chicago headquarters and in swing states where Mr. Obama recently has stumped, say the campaign intentionally limits crowds by restricting tickets. The reason is to allow the president to better connect with supporters, aides say. [...]  The Washington Times

Remember way back in 2008?  Obama spent around $750M.  From Oct. 16 through Nov. 24, 20 days after he was elected president, the Obama campaign reported bringing in $110.7 million from more than a million contributors. In that time period, Obama raised more money than the McCain campaign had available to spend during the general election, which officially began after the parties held their late summer conventions.  

And remember Barackopolis - the Greek columns at the DNC?  Total construction costs at Invesco Field were $5.3M, with $140K being spent just on the podium.  

The problem this time isn't that Obama wants a more 'intimate' setting where he can smooze one-on-one with his drones.  Big rallies are expensive but the cost isn't why they're downsizing - after all, Koolaid doesn't cost a whole lot.   The problem is that he doesn't have a support system this time around.  People are hip to his jive.  They know what he's about.  He's no longer an up and coming whiz kid.  Mitt Romney, by virtue of selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate, has totally stolen his thunder.  They're on message.  They're talking solutions.  Obama had no problem in 2008 spending money and drawing huge crowds.  He didn't seem to want to be intimate back then so as to connect better.  But now, nobody wants to be intimate with him this time around.  

It's really disingenuous to try to sell that excuse to the American people.  It just confirms what we know - Obama will be a one-term president.  He's out of ideas, he's over his head, and no one wants to risk their reputation and money on him anymore.  

And now I need to send Obama the bill for a new Nexus 7 tablet.
