It feels good, doesn't it?

[cali]

It feels damned good to see a democrat throwing hard punches, refuse to apologize over faux offenses, and define the republicans accurately.

It's driving the repubs mad and that's ever so satisfying to watch.

[Tennessee Gal]

1. Yes, indeed, it feels fantastic!

We've been waiting and hoping for this for a long, long time and it has finally arrived.

Yeah!!!

[DCBob]

2. Yes it does.

it feels like the Obama campaign is several steps ahead of Romney and have total control over the situation. The Repubs keep trying to create a diversion but the issues of Bain and taxes keep coming back.

Yes, it is a wonderful thing to watch! Kudos to the Obama compaing.. keep it up.

[NNN0LHI]

3. It feels damn good

[pinboy3niner]

4. It's orgasmic!

Okay, so in the spirit of political campaigns, I may have engaged in a little hyperbole.

[archiemo]

5. I'm loving every minute of it. It's about darn time!!!!

[AsahinaKimi]

6. We are also seeing

A lot of PURE HATE from the Republican side. Their tactics are out in the open now, and one can see just how much they will ignore Romney's gaffs over their hate for Obama.

[bluesbassman]

23. Indeed. It's really pulling the curtain back on a lot of the true beliefs of many on the right.

Racism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, and greed, to name a few, are uncontrollably spewing forth. It's like the damn has broke and they just can't help themselves.

[krispos42]

7. Yup. I get tired of this being true:

24. I was just gonna say!

Allowing stem cell research must have enabled the growth of spines.

8. K&R

For the donkey kick-ass!

[Bohunk68]

9. 'Bout damn time!!

For awhile there I was wondering where was the spine? Hit again and again and again and kick the sumbitches in the head when they fall into the gutter, their natural home. Don't let them get up.

20. I saw it in a political cartoon years ago.

Have often searched to find it again, figure out where it's from.

If anyone has a clue where it's from, I'd love to know.

[lovemydog]

11. Yes!

Yes! Yes yes yes. Oh yes!

[snappyturtle]

12. Lovin' it! nt

[CrispyQ]

13. It's about time!

They better not back down, either.

[Dawgs]

14. Now, if he would just start doing it when it actually mattered. n/t

[ljm2002]

15. It sure does!

And about bloody time!

Of course, I don't see that the Obama team had any choice but to come out swinging. They'll be outspent in this campaign by a substantial amount. Their only realistic strategy is to weaken their opponent from the gate, and they've done a masterful job of it so far.

As Josh at TPM points out, attacking early like this allows them to frame the candidate and puts him on the defensive. Here's hoping it continues to work!

I'm not the biggest Obama booster around here, not by any means -- but when it comes to this Presidential race, I gotta say: You go, Obama!! Go get 'em, champ!!!

[Hotler]

18. Yes, but too bad it didn't start the first day he took office. n/t

[left is right]

19. Obama’s strong stance requires some followup on our part

we now have to inform our Democratic representatives (if fortunate enough to have at least one) that we expect the same from them.

[Flatpicker]

21. Not really

It's necessary, but I get no enjoyment from watching discourse fall apart.

Sometimes it has to be done and I applaud the administration for doing it.

[Avalux]

27. It's being done with the truth. Not fabricated lies.

That's the difference between the two sides...and 'discourse' is not a word in the GOP's dictionary.

I think it's about time the Dems fight.

[nikto]

31. Important point---DEM attacks are reality-based, unlike GOP's staged, megaphone fantasy-attacks

The GOP has buck$ aplenty, but they are moral, ethical and intellectual WEAKLINGS.













America's REAL terrorists are The GOP.

38. Dear Mr. or Mrs. "obama the clown":

We're going to have to revoke your posting privileges now.

K?

Bye!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. It leaves me hungry fo more - total and final humiliation of Romney

I want to see him run away from the campaign with his tail between his legs like Seamus.

[nikto]

32. I would think there is about a 50-50 chance of that coming to pass

Love 2 see it.

[TBF]

26. That's why I voted for Obama in the first place -

I quickly caught on to the fact that he's not nearly as liberal as I'd like him to be (but then there aren't all that many communists in this country so ...) but I did see that he could win. When you are dealing with republicans you need to pick the person who has a shot at beating them and I knew he could do it.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. ....

[hifiguy]

29. Indeed it does. And every time the Mittwit opens his phiz,

the Obama campaign throws another banana peel under his feet and he pratfalls again. More fun than a barrel of half-witted monkeys, to quote Foghorn Leghorn.

[nikto]

30. It's beautiful! The GOP is totally unnacustomed to Dems hitting back--Repugs are dis-oriented now

Like any Bully when the victim starts punching back:

"Mommy, come help me!
It's not fair!"

[Skittles]

33. IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!

yes INDEED

[DainBramaged]

41. I second that FUCKING

[calimary]

44. I third it!

YES. It feels FABULOUS!!!

Dear Dems: MORE please!

[AsahinaKimi]

34. Its also about time..

Been waiting a long time for Democrats to have Republicans on the Ropes. It was a lovely win for Obama last time, and it will be even sweeter this time around.

[Estevan]

35. Some may not agree or realize it but

President Obama has revived the Democratic party.

[Bake]

36. Oh HELL to the yeah!!!

I'm lovin' it!!

46. +1000

Guess what, Clark Kent has just turned into a champion heavyweight.

[BrooklynBoy]

40. Yeah, It's Fun To Watch...

Yeah, it is fun to watch, but it was also fun to watch the "uprising" in Wisconsin, and we saw how that turned out. And it would have been more fun to watch Obama and the Dems grow a pair during the health care fiasco and the extension of the Bush tax cuts.

No, they may have grown a pair and be putting it to the Republicans now that we're in campaign mode, but once Obama is re-elected (if he is), it'll be the same ole "let's work together" mantra that worked so well the last three years...

[Fumesucker]

47. Welcome to DU.

I hope you are wrong, I fear you are correct..

In any case I hope you enjoy your stay!

[B Calm]

42. Obama likes playing offense

and so do I!!

[applegrove]

43. I pray the democrats have months of ammo to hit as hard every day as they have so far this month.

I learnt a trick to write essays from my oldest brother. You rank all your arguments by strength and save the best for last. Hope Axelrod has done the same.

[colorado_ufo]

45. It's not only greatly satisfying,

but I take it as an indication that the next four years could be what we hoped for in the first four. And THAT has the Repubs terrified! If Obama and crew are slugging this hard during the campaign, the Repubs will have no doubt that this will be a different president from the one that offered so much compromise during his first term. It's truly exciting to contemplate!

[vlyons]

48. It always feels good to stand up to bullies.

The Republican party is now the party of intolerance and hatred. There is no depth to which they will not stoop, no lie that will make them blush with embarrassment. The Republican brand is bankrupt. tell your friends
