Before it Turns into Something Uglier
Is President Obama Going Against His Core Identity?
Going Negative - NYTimes.com: "David Brooks: The conventional view is that it works. My view is that it works in some cases. Obama ran plenty of negative ads in 2008, but he won because he rejected the sort of stale campaigning everyone is disgusted by. Now he is running exactly the sort of campaign he once rejected. I don’t see how going against your core identity can be a good thing."
Dream on David you're on the wrong track
The President's a fighter and under attack
From the sad Party you have called Grand
You have no ground upon which to stand
GOP reasons so lack decency
The people if not you will easily see
They will give him another term more
Meanwhile David look to your core
No matter how smart one is, compassion trumps wit.
An excellent movie version of the play Wit, directed by Mike Nichols with Emma Thompson, shows the value of compassion, literally feeling with, in the experience of death and life. In the end, no matter how smart one is, compassion trumps wit.

An Action Strategy for the Obama Campaign
It is quite obvious that both sides say the same things
Mr. Rattner (it would seem) is not in Mr. Romney's capacious pockets
Creating Jobs Wasn’t Romney’s Job - NYTimes.com: "On Monday, Mr. Obama struck the right balance, emphasizing that he wasn’t attacking private equity but was questioning Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital credentials to be the job creator in chief.
That’s fair, particularly because Mr. Romney himself has been foolishly reweaving history to claim, as recently as last week, that he helped create 100,000 jobs during his time at Bain.
In fact, Bain Capital — like other private equity firms — was founded and managed for profit: ideally, huge amounts of gain earned legally and legitimately. Any job creation was a welcome but secondary byproduct."
The underlying story is ironically
That Obama holds the key to the future
It is he who links recovery to creating new occupations
And moving beyond oil
While whatever Mitt is for
Means rolling backwards
Down the Sysiphean hill
Delicious - A Ron Paul Karl Rove Collision
After Paul Falters, Backers Push Agenda in Party and Other Races - NYTimes.com: "“Karl Rove’s fear-and-smear-style Republicans are going to wake up at the end of the year and realize we are now in control of the Republican Party,” said Preston Bates, a Democrat-turned-Paulite who is running Liberty for All for Mr. Ramsey."

Is there anything good about Ron Paul
If you are looking for a spectrum Ron will do
But the humorous hand of forces no longer believed in
Call them Greek gods if you will
Is cooking up a storm that we'll soon witness
If we can see them fighting through the swill
