Are we cynical here at VDB? Yes. Have we grown disillusioned with the way that President Obama has governed, after supporting Candidate Obama so fervently in the run-up to 2008? Yes. So are we the most dispassionate judge of the new video launching the 2012 re-election effort? Hell no. Still, even with all of that stipulated, you’d have to admit: whoever put together this substance-free, low-energy, demographic-driven bit of visual flatulence should not merely be whipped and then fired, but forbidden from work in the campaign sector for life. Harsh? Watch it again. It makes you yearn for a Tim Pawlenty action trailer.
