Gee, Team Obama being rude and doing things differently? Who’d have guessed? Last go around, Obama broke precedent, and his promise, and refused to take the public funding for the general election. This go around
(The Hill) Bucking protocol, President Obama and the Democrats are planning a full-scale assault on Republicans next week during their convention.
Presidential candidates have traditionally kept a low profile during their opponent’s nominating celebration, but Democrats are throwing those rules out the window in an attempt to spoil Mitt Romney’s coronation as the GOP nominee.
President Obama, Vice President Biden and leading congressional Democrats have all scheduled high-profile events next week to counter-program the Republican gathering in Tampa.
Even first lady Michelle Obama is in on the act, scheduling an appearance on the “David Letterman Show†smack in the middle of Romney’s nominating bash.
I think we can officially declare “Hope and Change” dead, now we’re moving “Forward” into the era of being a jerk. Yes, I did just call Obama a jerk. The term fits. At least in keeping the post at a PG level.
Political historians say the high stakes of this year’s elections — combined with the rise of today’s 24/7 media culture — has forced leaders on both sides of the aisle to get more aggressive.
Both sides? Both sides? Nowhere within the article does it mention the Romney campaign and/or Republicans having any plans to disrupt the DNC in Charlotte. I doubt they will, but, if they do, you can bet that Romney will be called rude and provide teeth gnashing for the liberal media, who will conveniently forget about what the Dems did at the RNC.
On the bright side, it’ll give Joe Biden the chance to say something monumentally rude and stupid. Again.
Yes, I did just call Obama a jerk. The term fits. At least in keeping the post at a PG level.
Wow! That’s very brave of you. Political dissidents in China could really take notes from you and your so very brave stand against tyranny.
Of course, of the GOP did the exact same thing to the Dems and disrupted their convention, you’d be blogging one handed with your pants around your ankles. Yet another whine of “Moooooommmmmm!! The liberals are punching baaaaaaack!!”
Hopefully, Chairman Mao Mandingo Fartbama doesn’t send his army of black SUV’s to make you into a human speedbump again.
Chicago style thug like tactics. It’s all they got. Style and substance are gone.
And you can absolutely bet, that if anyone from the R’s holds any big events during the DNC, there will be whining about it.
Liberals don’t punch, Ian, they bi+ch slap.
Imagine if the NFL made changes for a Bush speech, or the start of the RNC? Hah, well that’d never happen.
Imagine if they refused to cover the convention (DNC) entirely? Yes, that’d never happen like it is happening to the RNC. Bright side is that if there IS a hurricane, the major three will have to cover the convention at least a little bit…

Nothing this President, or his liberal pals, do surprises me. Given their past track record of intimidation and thuggery tactics, I wouldn’t be shocked if it was much worse than we are being told.
