Obama is going to run a "Truman" campaign. "That no-good, do-nothing Congress!" How insightful of the man. He likely got the idea while shaving.

Obama is going to run a "Truman" campaign. "That no-good, do-nothing Congress!" I think that'll be part of it but another big part will be a lesser of two evils approach that implies that his opponent is a low IQ crazy radical weird guy. I think it'll be a very negative campaign.

Obama is going to run a "Truman" campaign. "That no-good, do-nothing Congress!" Yup. First item: "That no-good, do-nothing Congress refused to pass my very very very very important jobs bill, which was so important I had to address a joint session instead of sending it to them the normal way." I swear, to Obama, form IS substance. He doesn't understand the difference. Which means, he truly cannot understand that he is making a fool of himself. Has anybody seen a list of occasions on which Presidents addressed a joint session of congress in the modern era? Before Obama (who already used it once before to promote health care), I remember Bush addressing a joint session after 9/11. Wasn't it always used sparingly, for national emergencies and such like?
