Obama celebrates Halloween
There’s a lot of buzz on Capitol Hill about a new health care memo,by strategist/communicator Frank Luntz,which is filled with advice for opponents of the Democrats’reform legislation. The memo analyzes the public’s concerns that national health care will result in lower quality care at higher cost,with an out-of-control deficit to boot,and Luntz recommends language to help critics make the case against the legislation more effectively. For example,he suggests opponents would be better off avoiding the phrase public option;calling it the government option is better.
The new memo updates a similar analysis Luntz wrote last May. Some of the advice is familiar. But one striking difference between the two documents is in the treatment of Barack Obama. Last May,Luntz advised politicians to stay away —far away —from criticizing the president. “Your political opponents are the Democrats in Congress and the bureaucrats in Washington,not President Obama,”Luntz wrote. “Every time we test language that criticized the president by name,the response was negative —even among Republicans.”He continued:“If you make this debate about Republicans vs. Obama,you lose. But if you make it about Americans vs. politicians,you win.”Therefore,the advice was to go after Washington bureaucrats and government health care,but never Obama.
That was then. Now,things are different. “In the spring,we counseled strongly that you should avoid direct confirmation with President Obama,”Luntz writes in the new memo. “That has changed.”The “thrill is gone”from Obama’s relationship with the American people,Luntz writes,and it’s now OK to go after the president’s proposals with the president’s name attached. “There is no change in support for the plan if it is called ‘Barack Obama’s plan’instead of the plan of ‘Democrats in Congress,’”Luntz says. “So long as the attack is grounded in policy and NOT personage,you can talk about opposing ‘President Obama’s plan.’”
The Obama's are PHONYS thru and thru. Cannot be trusted. We must get rid of them ASAP!!!!

You cannot get out of them what "GOD"did not put in them….We cannot even get his birth certificate,grades,transcripts or writings….Or hers for that matter…This is the affirmative action couple…Shameful…
If the american people are not willing to quit talking,crying,whining and complaining and take whatever action is required (by force if necessary) to remove obama and his cadre of followers from the white house,congress and the senate then they will get exactly what they deserve. I am grossly dissapointed in the ameican people for not binding together to take action against this evil destroyer of our country. He and his followers must be removed permanently if not by peaceful means then by whatever measure of force is required.
