Rall on Obama's 2012 sales pitch

Ted Rall's Fool Us Twice? is up to his usual highly caustic standards, particularly when he wonders "What, exactly, will be Obama's 2012 sales pitch?"

I seriously want to know. Think about it: how many other presidents have been so disappointing that they had to distribute lists of their accomplishments so their supporters would have talking points?

After discussing some of Obama's first-term wins, Rall asks, "Will micro-mini-accomplishment lites be enough to pry liberal asses off the sofa on Election Day?"

I think not. On the Big Issues That Really Matter--war, the economy, civil liberties--Obama is a right-wing Republican. He's only a Democrat on the little stuff. Liberals won't turn out big for Obama in 2012.

That goes double for the youth vote, a big bloc for O in 2008. From student loan debt to unemployment (which hits Americans under 30 even harder than other age groups), Obama hasn't delivered. They'll sit on their hands.
