BHO se plaint d’être traité “comme un chien”

Le président Obama a décidé de partir en campagne pour tenter de soutenir le parti démocrate et contenir, sinon éviter, la déroute électorale pour les élections de novembre que toutes les enquêtes d’opinion lui prédisent. Cela a permis de constater que le très calme BHO commence à perdre un peu de son calme, notamment face aux très nombreuses attaques personnelles dont il est l’objet.

Politico.com met en évidence, le 6 septembre 2010, cette intervention publique d’Obama dans le Wisconsin, au cours de laquelle il s’est écarté de son texte officiel pour s’exclamer, à propos des républicains : “ils me traitent comme un chien !”… Effectivement, comme l’observe l’article, 2010 n’est vraiment pas 2008.

«He deployed many of his usual lines about how Republicans are to blame for the country’s economic problems, and singled out – without mentioning him by name – would-be House Speaker John Boehner.

»The Ohio Republican, Obama said, had opposed Democrats efforts to provide state aid to save the jobs of public employees and the closing of a tax loophole that encouraged companies to send jobs overseas.

»More telling, Obama offered an aside that spoke to his diminished state and captured the mood of a president and party under assault. “They talk about me like a dog,” Obama said with a chuckle of his political opponents. “That’s not in my prepared remarks but it’s true.”

»Also true: casting himself as somebody taking a lot of flack in front of a supportive crowd could engender sympathy and fire up his lethargic, downcast base. Other speakers also alluded to the energy on the right and, implicitly, how the president has become a target of derision.

» “They don’t like nothing about Barack Obama,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) told the audience, rattling off opposition to both his policies but also criticism of the redecoration of the Oval Office, the First Couple’s outings and questions about the president’s place of birth.

»Moore also crystallized the difference two years can make in a line aimed at motivation: “We were great in ’08, but if you got this president’s back you better be back in 2010.”

»The president’s challenge is a paradox: that which swept him into office two years ago – a hunger for change rooted in economic anxiety – is now imperiling his party’s political prospects.“Job losses take toll,” read the headline of the lead story of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Monday, which detailed how 155,200 jobs have vanished in Wisconsin since the end of 2007.

»It’s a story that could have run in a number of states, but how it translates at the polls this fall may be best represented here. Two years after Obama cruised to a 14-point victory in Wisconsin, his approval ratings here have slipped badly amid the sour economy.»
