Black Agenda: Skunt Obama is Toast in November! No More Blac Vote!

If there was any lingering doubt as to why President Barack Obama likes to remain outside the web of Washington’s political thinkers, take note of the mounting criticism about the direction of his campaign and doomsday scenarios about the next election appearing.In an article entitled “Second-guessing Obama,” Politico takes a look at the growing concern among many Democratic strategists that Obama runs the risk of losing in the upcoming election. However, as reporters Alexander Burns and John F. Harris note, the criticism isn’t especially consistent and largely teeters around the sentiment, “Mr. President, you should stop listening to your dumb advisers and listen to someone smart like me.”

Democratic strategists Stan Greenberg, James Carville, and Erica Seifert sent a memo declaring that this strategy of saying “things are moving in the right direction … will fail.” Moreover, “These voters are not convinced that we are headed in the right direction. … They actually have a very realistic view of the long road back and the struggles of the middle class — and the current narrative about progress just misses the opportunity to connect and point forward.”
