Axelrod & Plouffe's 2012 Ticket Spin Contradicted by Former Chief of Staff

Barack Obama's campaign apparatus failed to coordinate their latest spin over replacing Vice President Biden with Hillary Clinton in Election 2012. 

Axelrod and Plouffe shoot down report of Biden-Clinton switch 

David Axelrod, who served as Obama’s senior strategist during the 2012 race, said a “swap” was never in play. He also worked as an adviser to his 2008 campaign, and served as a senior adviser to Obama from Jan. 2009 to Jan. 2011.

VP swap never in play. Biden's taken on many tough assignments. He's been loyal friend and wise counselor. POTUS lucky to have him.
— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) November 1, 2013

David Plouffe, Obama’s 2008 campaign manager and former White House senior adviser, also firmly denied the report on Twitter.

Never any - any - consideration of VP/HRC switch. Not even entertained by the only person who mattered. Or most of us. Back to Halloween.
— David Plouffe (@davidplouffe) October 31, 2013

On Friday morning, however, Bill Daley—who served as Obama’s chief of staff at the time—admitted on “CBS This Morning” that he did assess such a change, and defended it.

Daley defends Clinton-Biden flip talk

Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley on Friday defended a decision to test replacing Vice President Biden with Hillary Clinton.
Daley described the discussions as an example of "out of the box" thinking necessary during a campaign.
He also hastened to say that discussions about replacing Biden never got serious, a day after reports that the book Double Down will say top Obama aides seriously considered moving Clinton to the No. 2 spot on the ticket.

And this:

Hillary Clinton knew this was being tested, the book says. On CBS News, Daley said he wasn't aware Clinton knew. He added there is bit of “overhype,” around the book.
The discussions about switching Biden with Clinton occurred in the fall of 2011, a few months before Daley stepped down as Obama’s top adviser in January 2012.

And we end the day with this clarification::

Messina: No one 'who mattered' wanted Biden out as veep

 November 01, 2013, 04:14 pm

Jim Messina, the campaign manager of President Obama's reelection effort in 2012, flatly denied that "anyone who mattered" considered dropping Vice President Biden to add Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the ticket.

Let me be clear: VP-HRC switch never considered by POTUS or anyone who mattered in the campaign. #sillyseason

Clinton Ally Pens E-Book: ‘The Benghazi Hoax’

Media Matter's Propagandist David Brock Pens E-Book: ‘The Benghazi Hoax’

By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 10/19/13 8:51 PM EDT @Politico

Excerpt:

Media Matters founder and Hillary Clinton ally David Brock has co-authored a 90-page e-book called “The Benghazi Hoax,” a tome intended as a counterweight of sorts to criticisms of the former Secretary of State and President Barack Obama over the 2012 attacks in Libya.

Background on the Attack and the Special Mission Benghazi

Brock previewed the book in an interview with POLITICO last week in the liberal group’s Washington offices. He described it as an important and necessary resource on the Benghazi attacks that left four Americans dead last Sept. 11 — and which some congressional Republicans have shown continued interest in probing.

Brock insisted the book is not intended as a de facto defense of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she comes under scrutiny ahead of a likely 2016 presidential bid. Supporting the Clintons is a fraction of Media Matters’ mission, he said, and her role in the Benghazi attacks is not the sole focus of the book.

Secretary of State has to Approve High Threat Level Locations

But the mere fact of the book’s existence is an acknowledgement that Benghazi will remain a topic of debate, and one that could harm Clinton with independent and center-right Republicans. And it comes as Brock-affiliated groups could fill an organizational void for Clinton, who has no machinery of her own beyond a handful of staffers since leaving the State Department.

The book, which comes out Tuesday, is as much about pushing back against criticisms by the right that Obama is a weak president who has hurt America in the world, Brock said.

Still, he added, there are “six super PACs out there dedicated to trying to tarnish [Clinton’s] reputation.”

 The Clintonista Brock spins the coverup:

“People have missed the fact that Benghazi was not only a tragedy, but it was a night of valor,” said Brock. The book – the first such endeavor for Media Matters, which is self-publishing it – was conceived of in the spring, as the congressional hearings on Benghazi were taking place, he said.

 David Brock is just another leftist that cannot tell the truth.

The Benghazi Timeline

 The book offers a sweeping criticism of a number of Republicans, including last year’s GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, as well as members of the media. That includes but is not limited to several Fox News anchors, whom Brock describes as “hoaxters” interested in tarnishing Obama and Clinton, and, by extension, former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice. Her Sunday show appearances defending the administration shortly after the attacks helped sink her hopes of becoming Secretary of State.

 Obama called Benghazi an 'act of terror' the next day?

 2 November 2012 

AFP - Citizens of China and Japan overwhelmingly support President Barack Obama to win a second term, according to an AFP-Ipsos poll which suggests Mitt Romney's tough talk on the Asian powers could have dented his image.
The US elections may be a toss-up at home but the survey carried out by Ipsos Hong Kong found a whopping 86 percent of Japanese back the Democrat incumbent compared to only 12.3 percent for Republican party candidate Romney.
Chinese respondents were less emphatic, but still a hefty 63 percent said they wanted Obama to serve out another four years, according to the online poll conducted in September and October

Democrat Spin on Romney's Jeep Ad Shifts Into Absurd

If you Watch the Romney Ad , it says 'plans to return Jeep output to China'
from the Bloomberg article that says

'Fiat SpA (F), majority owner of Chrysler Group LLC, plans to return Jeep output to China and may eventually make all of its models in that country, according to the head of both automakers' operations in the region. '

Typical of the Left. The following announcement won't make the news because it conflicts with the current elect-Obama MEME. If it makes the news, it is buried and disguised  like this factoid in the article titled

Chrysler CEO Reiterates Jeep Production Staying in U.S.

Fiat, which is working on a production plan for Europe to account for the region’s slumping demand, said today that it will build a small Jeep in Italy for export beginning in
2014. The Jeep, which wasn’t identified by name, is a new model for Europe and the U.S. that isn’t currently in production, according to a Fiat presentation.  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-30/chrysler-ceo-reiterates-jeep-suv-production-will-remain-in-u-s-.html

The media is complicit with the Obama campaign for this continued deception on Mitt Romney's positions, all the while covering up Obama's outright lies, coverups and possible criminal conduct. The 4th estate is the 5th column.

Anti-War Left Rejects President Obama's Military Adventurism

 Back-Seat General's Actions are Front and Center for 2012

With the new-left controlling the messaging for the democrats, limited and consistent is a fairly effective approach. Unless, of course, you are a news-junkie and hear the EXACT same talking point on ALL the news shows. I call them Plouffets, as in David Plouffe of AKPD Media. The greatest example of a mindless plouffet is Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

Barack Obama - A media company creation

It is such a frustratingly distracting circus that I forget about possible splits, discord or undercurrents on the left. Some were to be expected, but the platform vote on removing and then re-inserting mentions of God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in a platform fight at the DNC2012 would reveal more. What kind of discord is out out there?

I watched the (second) video by Roberto Unger and thought of the possible scale of the schism. The debate on Democracy Now!  reveals the same split clearly in a debate format.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DemocracyNow.org - As President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination to seek four more years in the White House, we host a debate on his presidency with Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report and Michael Eric Dyson, professor at Georgetown University and author of numerous books. Ford calls Obama the "more effective evil" for embracing right-wing policies and neutralizing effective opposition, while Dyson argues Obama provides the best and obvious choice for progressive change within the confines of the U.S. political system.

Democracy Now! Debate on Obama's Presidency: Glen Ford vs. Michael Eric Dyson. Part 3 of 3 

  Fmr Instructor-Obama Supporter Harvard Prof Roberto Unger - 'Beyond Obama'
President Obama’s policies have lost him several important constituencies, but the Harvard faculty? At least one former supporting prof is coming out against him … for being too conservative. TheDC’s Gregg Re reports:
“Harvard Law School professor Roberto Unger, who taught President Barack Obama classes such as Jurisprudence and Reinventing Democracy, said last month in a little-publicized video that his former student has betrayed liberals and should lose the presidency in November. ‘President Obama must be defeated in the coming election,’ Unger said in a sit-down video posted to his YouTube account in May, which also attacked the Republican party  … ‘[Obama] has failed to advance the progressive cause.’”
Et tu, Harvard faculty?

The Debate among the Left and Extreme left may explain more about the 'voter enthusiasm' gap and willingness to actually vote come November for the young or disillusioned Obama 2008 voter. The united coalition chanting change is now a caustic chorus of can't.

The Logical Song and Dance

Classic Star Trek Chess

 Republicans, Set to Stun?

The debate of Left vs Right positions and victory in election 2012 just cannot work without accounting for the pull of the newly fashionable and self described  Libertarians. The powers have changed the game again. The election is not a single board game of checkers. The line or Republican-Democrat spectrum isn't straight and 2D, it is three dimensional and built for mass appeal. The new coalition of the Left are hardly the democrats you have known in your lifetime, but is rather a dabbling in anarchy disguised as left-libertarian for acceptance, marxism as democratic socialism for fairness and new age mysticism for a "morality" in their arguments and to attract the young and disillusioned voters. Their messages and argument are far from complete and rarely constitutional. The ideas only have to be a soundbite in length for the sympathetic and far left of center main steam media for a gut reaction and emotional appeal. The information examined is devoid of math and reason. It is political song and dance To steal the phrase "It is not logical".
Politics and Game Strategy- Star Trek Chess

Once we realize this election is a 3D chess game, we just have to examine the pieces and purposes. A great example of a pawn who possesses all the traits of a revolutionary poser of the left is Anthony Kapel "Van" Jones. Much has been written about the former RED Green Jobs Czar, but in the video that follows, you will see how ecology and marxism has been blended with a new age spirituality or mysticism for cult appeal.

The populist appeal and surge of numbers of supporters for Ron Paul, a right-Libertarian considered a Republican by the press and American People, is a vote for overthrow of the GOP while the other R candidates were in the mode of "reform"          


6 Kinds of  Libertarianism as described by a Ron Paul Supporter

The left-libertarians easily ally with the New Left eco-marxists and social democrats. the only question remains for the next election is which way will the right-libertarians vote. They seem to embrace the spirit of anarchy, how about the "fairness" of socialism?

Synthesis of the New Left- The Time is Right

The new left shouldn't be labelled as socialists, liberals or marxists. Leftist is a name that will do just fine.We need to get past the semantics of what they should be called and focus on the message of decolonialism, deindustrialism and the other hidden tenets of marxism in their message.

Straight from the Communist Manifesto:
1. Expropriation of landed property, and the use of land rents to defray state expenditure
2. A vigorously graded income tax
3. Abolition of the right of inheritance
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigres and rebels
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly
6. Centralization of the means of transport in the hands of the State
7. Increase of national factories and means of production, cultivation of uncultivated land, and improvement of cultivated land in accordance with a general plan
8. Universal and equal obligation to work; organization of industrial armies, especially for agriculture
9. Agriculture and urban industry to work hand-in-hand, in such a way as, by degrees, to obliterate the distinction between town and country
10. Public and free education of all children.  Abolition of factory work for children in its present form.  Education and material production to be combined.
