“We have spent the last 20 months governing. They spent the last 20 months politicking,” Obama said of Republicans. With three months to go before the election, Obama all but said “bring it on”: “They’ve forgotten I know how to politick pretty good.” — Barack Obama
“You’ve spent 20 months playing a weak hand and showing no fight. You’re a better campaigner than President. If you ever stood your ground and didn’t give away everything important to your base in crafting legislation, you might have avoided your upcoming political beatdown. I hope you get crushed, and I’ve voted Democratic my whole life.” — Me
