Obama was RIGHT friday when he said that the private sector is doing just fine. Corporate profits are at record levels and retained earnings are skyrocketing into the trillions. The story is that corprate CEO's have decided that they want Mitt Romney as president so that he will eliminate the regulations that the Obama administration has put in place in the wake of the 2008 debacle on Wall Street and greedy corporate America's attempts to dismantle things like the Envirnmental Protection Agency. Every third commercial that I see on television is a tirade from the coal industry about the EPA.

This effort to completely turn to the law of the jungle economy started with Ronald Reagan, accelerated with George W. Bush, and now will come to fruition with the 2012 campaign. Barack Obama has a story to tell and this is that story. The damage that will be done in a four year Romney presidency is incalculable.


IOVHO,

Michael Tomasky on Obama’s Gaffe and How His Campaign Lost Its Groove

Yes, the press-conference gaffe—saying “The private sector is doing fine”—was bad. But it wouldn’t have been so painful if the president didn’t seem so lost.

Well, let’s just say Barack Obama hasn’t been on his game this week. The Friday-morning stumble at the press conference—“The private sector is doing fine”—is going to live on in thousands of 30-second attack ads. But that isn’t the biggest problem by a long shot. In fact, it merely draws attention to his biggest problem, which Eleanor Clift nicely identified in her Friday column: the campaign isn’t telling a story. And there is a story to tell, even about the private sector. It’s a slightly more complicated story than the one Mitt Romney is telling, and more complicated means harder, but it doesn’t mean impossible.

The story, in a nutshell, is this: we inherited a total disaster, things are getting better, and Romney will bring us back to disaster. The last part is the most important: putting the emphasis back on the challenger.
