This is great exchange by CNN’s Candy Crowley from this morning as she grilled David Plouffe on what exactly is Obama’s big new plan for the next four years. Turns out, according to Plouffe, it’s the same ideas that Obama campaigned on in 2008. The question that I really thought was excellent though was when Crowley asked Plouffe why they think they can accomplish these goals in another term if they weren’t able to accomplish them in the first term. Plouffe had no good answer.

fast talking blah blah blah. These are not politically astute people. Remember they came into power with the House AND the Senate. They did not have the smarts to maintain and build upon the coalition. Didn't know how to finesse it. They blew it. Bulls in a china shop. Millions of us are counting the days!! They will Not get their way.

blah,blah,blah. This guy isn't persuading anyone. Why do they send him out there? He doesn't have the ability to connect or convince. These people are destroying the Democrat party. They came into power with the house AND the Senate. They coulndn't sustain or build on the coalition. They are not smart politically. Like bulls in a china shop. Four and a half more months!!

"We've cut taxes for the average, middle-class family by $3600."

And median household income (that would be those same average, middle-class families) has gone down $4000.

So let's see...

3600 - 4000 = -400

Translation "I just took $400 dollars from you and now I want you to thank me for it."

If you think Obama did a good job in the first four years, vote to reelect him. If you don't think he did, vote against him. It's that simple in every incumbent election. Politicians don't "change" their ideology.

Fluffy and the rest of Obama's sycophants, by staying away from conservative media, have been able to hide how foolish and intellectually challenged they really are. When their friends, like CNN,

decide to actually ask them real questions, what we've all known about

these guys is finally revealed for all to see. They're idiots. Plouffe looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Probably the first time he's ever had to answer a real question, and he can't handle it. I don't know what's with CNN lately, but I hope they keep it up.

They don't intend to. All pensions will fail, right along with the stock market and our currency. Greek style austerity should kick in soon, if the collapse doesn't happen first.

Hey, give him some credit. He had to quit after 9 holes in order to go kill bin Laden. Tough to have to give that up.

Plouffe rhymes with "fluff". There is no meat in their plans... just more cotton candy.

Plouffe may be telling the truth OR he's lying to cover-up what the real intent of Obama is.

Remember the "flexibility" comment he made to Putin? I sincerely believe that Obama and his crew have NO intention of giving up the White House.

I remember Clinton talking about a third term at the end of his reign. He was trying hard to come up with an excuse. I suppose that it wasn't his time. Obama could pull it off, this close to an economic collapse.

Isn't "plouffe" a derrivative of the French word "nunuche?" He sure is a knucklehead. He couldn't even handle questions from Big Candy. I'll say one thing for him...he's got that bobble-head thing down to a fine science.

You mean to say that Crowley actually asked some decent questions rather than carry water for the Obama regime? I'm sure the network will be harshly punished by their god-king soon enough for this transgression...

Well that should be no surprise that the agenda in the first term will be the same in the second term. This is the same anti-American adenda and should be a slap in the face to those who thought it would be any different. This man is void of ideas and he cannot change and I hope this ensures the landslide vicory that is predicted.

All of the above energy policy? ROFL....since when...yesterday? heehee, that's a good one. As for education, that is not the problem. Anyone can get one if they want it. The problem is liberals are wasting tax dollars on things that do not stimulate the economy and are squelching the things that do-end of story, over and out.

There is no plan. There never was, except to get re-elected. I've never seen a president whose only reason for getting re-elected was "I'm not the other guy." Now THAT is some real "Hope and Change." A few more weeks like this for Obama and he's going to lose in a landslide.

Oddly enough you just summed up Mitt Romney too. Willard is Obama-lite in more ways than one.

It's going to be 5 more months of this. It's literally "all they got". Obama's only chance of winning is by convincing people that, if he gets elected, everyone gets a unicorn that farts money.

He already tried the "Romney wants you to die cold and hungry after a lifetime of honest labor in his sweatshops" route, but the focus groups didn't buy it.

If they decide to put Romney in this time around, I wonder how long it will take the right to go sour on him? The first year generally is a give away. Lots of excuses, and blaming the other side. I would love to see republicans take the house and senate, and have Romney in. Nothing substantial would happen, and the right might be forced to reject the whole bunch of them as the power elite who are shutting down this country. Maybe that is why Rand is coming out in support of the establishment GOP. If we still have elections in 2016, they might just put him up as the appeaser.

Willard won't occupy the White House. Real change is going to happen and it will happen in Tampa.

People need to realize that the Republicans have cheated the voters by rigging the machines for Romney.

Obama's plans (actually, his handler's plans) were never about money. It was always about power and control.

It's great to hear Candy to repeat the question over and over lately when her guests don't answer them ("What's your new plan?"), and then to offer a conclusion ("So you don't have a new plan - it's stay the course".") based on their non-answer for them to confirm.

CNN would be in better shape if more of their reporters did this.

She was good here, I just watched Santorum on with her at Newsbusters and he schools her pretty nicely on what a 'moderate' is. She still is a liberal, but better at hiding it then others I think.

I'm starting to think we are about to witness a slow-motion, 5 month long, Obama re-election train wreck. These guys are borderline incompetent. I've seen better run student government campaigns than this group has offered so far.

They got away with their incompetence in 2008 because the media was so complicit. As the media actually starts doing their job, it becomes more and more obvious. Grab some popcorn, a jumbo soda, and a milkshake - it's going to be entertaining.

Not willingly. But as they, themselves, have seen, their approach in dealing with Obama has cost them dearly in ratings, support and the all important criteria, money. Little by little, they are putting out snippets of real journalism, and the crack in the dike is getting bigger and bigger, as the 'little Dutch boys' of the administration fail to plug those holes.
