HOW OBAMA RUINED HIS BRAND AND LOST THE ELECTION

Ever since he addressed the Kerry convention, Obama has had a lot of potential. But it's gone. Here's why & how:
  1. He reneged on his pledge not to run.
  2. He reneged on his pledge to stand by Wright and his church.
  3. He backed out of campaign finance reform.
  4. He dissed & mistreated Hillary and Bill during the campaign.
  5. He campaigned in Europe.
  6. He made a tour of Iraq into a partisan tour.
  7. He failed to accept what everyone knows: the Surge worked.
  8. He failed to pick Hillary (or a "new generation" outsider like Kaine) as his Veep.
  9. He picked Joe Biden.
These were all avoidable - unforced errors.

As a result of these unforced errors, not only will Obama lose this fall, but his brand is finished.

THANK GOD.
