Obama barley even talked about the issues during the election. All he talked about was Bain Capital, taxes, and general class warfare.
Which was enough to get the job done.
Again, the mistake was the GOP's. When half the population is absolutely terrified of being downsized on the altar of greater profits, you don't nominate a guy who made his fortune downsizing people.
If you were hell-bent on nominating a businessman (even though they make sucky presidents- see also Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush) then you pick a guy who actually made his fortune inventing something cool.
Downsizing and corporate raiding are not cool.
It went beyond that for the GOP
They still are afraid to tell their crazies to STFU
Immigration, Womens issues, Gay rights, working poor......there is no limit to whom they will insult
