This is so 2008.

From the New York Times:
The plan, which is awaiting approval, calls for running commercials linking Mr. Obama to incendiary comments by his former spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., whose race-related sermons made him a highly charged figure in the 2008 campaign.

“The world is about to see Jeremiah Wright and understand his influence on Barack Obama for the first time in a big, attention-arresting way,” says the proposal, which was overseen by Fred Davis and commissioned by Joe Ricketts, the founder of the brokerage firm TD Ameritrade. Mr. Ricketts is increasingly putting his fortune to work in conservative politics. {snip}

The group suggested hiring as a spokesman an “extremely literate conservative African-American” who can argue that Mr. Obama misled the nation by presenting himself as what the proposal calls a “metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln.”

A copy of a detailed advertising plan was obtained by The New York Times through a person not connected to the proposal who was alarmed by its tone. It is titled “The Defeat of Barack Hussein Obama: The Ricketts Plan to End His Spending for Good.”
Are we really going to be led down this road again? AGAIN?

After three and a half years, one would think that we have vetted this American President. It appears that while some say he has not done enough -- he has done something right if this means that some conservatives would like to just hit a reset button and go back to 2008. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers -- throw in a little Saul Alinsky with a dash of Kenyan pepper and I think one can see that this is just a new way of presenting an old dish of personal attacks based on things we already know. Things that have either been debunked or deemed not worthy of concern.

Yet here we are:
Lamenting that voters “still aren’t ready to hate this president,” the document concludes that the campaign should “explain how forces out of Obama’s control, that shaped the man, have made him completely the wrong choice as president in these days and times.”
This is simply about trying to get people to hate the President. It's politics at it very most vapid and shallow.

They could at least try something original like suggesting that he's really the son of a communist and had a nose job to hide his REAL roots....

Is it groundhog day again? They threw everything they could at candidate Obama, Americans chose to elect him in 2008. People are tired of hate for hates sake. I will tell you this -- should the right even try to go after the President for his religion, Mr. Romney needs to know that in this day and age of the Super PAC -- all bets are off about his religion. I'm pretty sure Romney doesn't want to open that can of worms considering his family history.

Maybe he should stick to discussing his foreign policy... Oh wait, ‘Doesn’t Want To Really Engage’ On Foreign Policy Issues Until He’s President. Ok well let's let the reporters deal with this... Oh wait, he won't talk to them either. So let him defend his time at Bain, right? That is the centerpiece of his campaign isn't it? Oh, Wait... those ads are 'off-target' too... Bullying? He can't remember that. Abortion? he was for choice before he was against choice.
