I've Seen Teh Comeback Kid
Teh iWon ain’t him
Which won’t stop U.sNoooz from fielding a few suggestions:
...President Obama has ended his first year in office plummeting in the polls on the heels of a bad economy. So can Obama come back as Reagan and Clinton did? ...
1. Lighten up. People like a president they feel they can have a beer with, so take off the robot mask and show some humor.
Like this?
2. Have Michelle take a more prominent role on a major issue like helping women find jobs. She’s more popular, so take advantage of it.
3. Feel our economic pain.
4. Create an employment program where new jobs can be accurately calculated.
...unlike the last one?
[Nice snark, U.S.Nooz. Careful—No “too big to fail’ 4 U!]
5. Take whatever healthcare deal you can, then promote the heck out of the benefits.
6. Hit the campaign trail for troubled Democrats, and brag about them.
Obama campaigned for Deed in Virginia, Deeds lost.
Obama campaigned for Corzine in New Jersey, Corzine lost.
Obama did not campaign for Owens in New York 23rd, Owens won.
7. Extend some elements of the Bush tax cuts to those making $250,000 or less. Your promise not to raise taxes for those Americans, the bulk of the nation, is being watched like a hawk by Republicans.
8. Bring the troops home from Iraq, and close the Guantánamo Bay prison.
9. Seize voter anger, and steer it to a new “economic populism,” says Belcher. Tap it before the GOP does, and talk about the patriotism of shared sacrifice for the common good. Belcher says that still polls well.
10. Name Oprah as a domestic envoy. People think she can talk to you straight and that she’ll bring their concerns to you.
Hm… Seem to be a few holes in those. Maybe we can field a few suggestions of our own?
“Have Michelle take a more prominent role on a major issue like helping women find jobs”
Maybe she can help them get make-work jobs at downtown hospitals, like the University of Chicago Medical Center.
An whaddya know, here’s a piece from Michelle Malkin that links Michelle, the hospital and Mr Axelrod:
Michelle’s patient-dumping scheme
[PS: I think the “can Obama come back” link is spozed to go somewhere else...]
