whatever the "strategery" was, it looked to this progressives like Obama pulled punches
Like once again, Democratic politicians are asking us to bust our ass, give our money, and show up to vote, only to see our candidate not bother to punch an opponent with a glass jaw.
Most frustrating for me was the health care debate when Romney said he and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pushed it through without a single Republican vote instead of working in a bipartisan way. Obama correctly mentioned that his plan was exactly what Romney did in Massachussetts, and a Republican idea, but failed to mention the Republicans in Congress refused to vote for their own idea. He not only could have made Romney look like a liar, but all the Republicans in Congress look like petulant petty sociopaths. In one sentence, he could have helped every Democrat running for the House and Senate.
And that could have killed whatever advantage Republicans thought they would gain through that strategy of obstruction.
