Yeah, we've known that for a while now, Mr. President...
HotAir: Maybe this is the best recap ever of Barack Obama’s campaign, taken from Obama’s own speech this morning in Tampa Bay. Obama starts off by attacking Mitt Romney’s economic agenda, and then momentarily can’t find his own:
The booklet itself is mostly pictures, with no detail on some very familiar campaign pledges … most of which date back to 2008. One in particular is missing, though — immigration reform. This is a jobs-program pamphlet, but Obama has made the argument many times that immigration reform relates to jobs and the economy in key ways. He has promised immigration reform since 2007, pledging as a general-election candidate to accomplish it in his first year as President. In his picture book, there isn’t even a mention of it.
Nor is there a single mention of entitlement reform.
Nothing in this pamphlet can be described as a “plan,” let alone an “agenda.” It’s a collection of slogans taken from the campaign trail that become incoherent when jammed together in this booklet...
It’s regurgitated nonsense, mostly resurrected from the 2008 campaign in a desperate attempt to shift strategies at the last minute. Its sole purpose is to reveal, finally, that this President ran out of gas intellectually and politically a long time ago — and his picture book illustrates that very well.
