Post #261 Obama Has His 2012 Reelection Team In Place

Be afraid. Be very afraid. It's a sign of the Apocalypse.

I was watching FOX News* the other day and saw the headline: "Obama Has His 2012 Reelection Team In Place." I appreciate the BIG BOLD graphics on FOX for those of us who don't see as well as we used to; I also appreciate the short headlines for those of us who don't like to think too much; and I appreciate the easy-on-the-eyes FOX girls. :p

"Obama Has His 2012 Reelection Team In Place" - what does that mean? Who is the campaign manager? Where is the headquarters? Do they have a web site for donations?

Karl Rove explained to Megyn Kelly that Obama had filled the major jobs in government. Does that include the Assistant to the Under-Secretary of Agriculture!?! :p

I saw yesterday that the White House is getting a new press secretary. Does that make Robert Gibbs the first rat to jump the sinking ship?

Just out of historical curiosity, how does that compare with the last President who ran for reelection. Rove did not say.

"Obama Has His 2012 Reelection Team In Place" - is that a bad thing? Wouldn't Obama have more time to govern while letting his Reelection Team worry about politics?

Well, Rove was animated -- he sweated, his veins bulged, his glasses fogged. I still did not get it -- guess I am not paranoid enough for FOX.

I criticize Kelly for airing such a non-story. What happened to her journalistic skills that got her that job?

* I still have a crush on Megyn Kelly -- even during this, uh, awkward time.
