How to destroy a popular president in a few easy lessons.
Hammer on inept he is.
blow things way out of proportion.
have a compliant and lazy media at your beck and call.
erode his support from the left by playing up how that support is fading.
Talk constantly about how the administration is "flailing"
Blame the collapsing economy on Obama and develop total amnesia about 8 years of bushco.
Really, they're well on their way.

4. I agree with everything but the last sentence
any poll numbers to suggest they're succeeding?
Of course they're going to try to bring him down, the question is whether they will be successful. Let's not confuse the fact that the GOP is trying to do something with their doing it.

5. All true, but the administration is not helping itself.
Do the research BEFORE the nomination. How difficult is that?
Don't agree to corrupt bullshit and think that your agreements won't come to light.
Don't make jokes about disabled people.
Obviously the media and the opposition party are going to attack, attack, attack. Consequently, the administration really has to consider everything it does, has to think before speaking, has to do its homework before acting, and desperately needs at least some advisors that are not INSIDE PLAYERS.
Someone is unhappy that their Free Pony has not yet been delivered.

15. Why can't there be a "progressive tv network?" The we wouldn't have to be
be dependent on these MSM corporate mouthpieces. I think there is a demand for same.
Ignoring for a moment that Pravda already exists and the left owns the existing media, they need to figure out how to make this "trickle up economics" they preach work on a even such a small scale - ie from penniless hippies to progressive tv networks.

16. KO says that if Rupert Murdoch can be convinced such a network would be more profitable than FOX,
Murdoch would start it. How can we convince him of this?
Somehow I think convincing him KookTV would make him more money is a pointless unless you do it at the point of a
gun law.

32. Forgot one: Defend all of the above by squawking "dissent is patriotic" over and over.
If BlooInBoo isn't a mole - they are clearly unfamiliar with the concept of hypocrisy or has faulty memory.
