Obama Goes on the Attack as Midterms Approach
By David M. Drucker, CQ-Roll Call


President Barack Obama officially turned his attention this week to the midterm elections, unloading on the GOP while defending administration policies and the Democratic Congress at an event a stone’s throw away from the home of his predecessor.

In a fundraising speech in Dallas — home to President George W. Bush and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions — and at another in Austin, Texas, Obama fired back at a party that has increasingly targeted him by name and promised to roll back his signature legislative achievements, including health care reform and the financial regulatory overhaul.

The Democratic strategy is to make the Nov. 2 elections a choice between competing visions, rather than a referendum on Obama administration policies and Democratic leadership. On one side, the Democrats argue, is a mainstream party pursuing forward-thinking policies to benefit the middle class; on the other are extremist Republicans pushing a return to the unpopular policies of the previous administration.

“The question we’re going to have in this election is whether we’re going to continue down a path of creating greater opportunity, making that opportunity available to all people — are we going to become more competitive in this 21st-century economy — or are we going to go backwards to the exact same policies that got us into this mess in the first place?” Obama said Monday during a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at a private Dallas residence.

“And if you don’t think that’s what the choice is, you haven’t been paying attention to what the other side is offering for November,” Obama continued. “What they’re counting on in this election is amnesia. They’re counting on you not remembering the disastrous consequences of economic policies that, by the way, had caused problems for working-class families, for middle-class families, before the recession hit, before the crisis hit.”

I'd go on the attack against those who have called me a coward, a wimp and a sell out too.
everyone can play the game of going up against the Left. Obama is the Left in the White House, and folks have been going after him for like months and months.
