The 2012 card is played

Obama strode sternly into the White House and broke his own tacit rule of never mixing the nation's business with his own political strategy. "Whoever the Republican nominee is," he declared, " we're going to have a big serious debate about what we believe is the right way to guide American forward and to win the future." [Never mixes the nation's business with his own political strategy??? When has he ever done ANYTHING ELSE??] "And I'm confident that I will win that debate because ... we've got the better approach," he added. This came minutes after he accused Republicans of playing the same old "Washington" political games. [Another round of Alinsky, anyone?]
