Obama Rerun

Campaign manager Jim Messina also lays out options on how Obama can repeat a win in 2012.

After struggling to find a message, the president sees rewards in amping up his populist rhetoric.

Rep. Barney Frank is predicting that President Obama would easily win a general election against Newt Gingrich.

The president’s speech forms a counter-narrative to Republican attempts to portray his first term as destructive to the U.S.-Israel relationship.

President Obama said that candidates' personal lives shouldn't be the "primary issue" for voters and said that the American people did not find him to be a "mediocre president" during an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, excerpts of which were released Thursday.

The president also said that Republicans were refusing to compromise with him on policy because it was politically opportune, noting that leading Republican presidential candidates had previously supported his programs.

The question of what the president is for, rather than what he is against, has been met with diffuse answers.

Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod hit back Sunday at Christie's criticisms of the president.

If you’re a Democrat, what’s not to love about the saga of Herman Cain and his allegedly busy hands?

Republicans sought Thursday to tie President Obama to embattled former Gov. Jon Corzine (D-N.J.) — and the futures brokerage firm that collapsed under his leadership.

Corzine, who had been widely discussed as a possible Obama pick to replace Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, has taken the brunt of the blame as the firm he ran, MF Global, enters bankruptcy. While the firm's biggest troubles stemmed from overinvesting in European government bonds, regulators are also looking into what happened to hundreds of millions of dollars that have gone missing.

Dubbing him "the ex-future Obama Treasury secretary," the Republican National Committee issued a research document Thursday to call attention to the federal investigation into the work of one of Obama's top allies in the Wall Street community.

The attack on Corzine was the latest attempt by Republicans to paint Obama as inept on handling fiscal issues and incapable of pursuing the proper steps to right the economy. Republican groups have also been unrelenting in hitting Obama on Solyndra, the failed solar company that received one-half billion dollars in taxpayer loan guarantees.

The RNC document lays out the ties between Obama and Corzine both on fiscal policy issues and fundraising from Wall Street donors, arguing that Corzine's woes contribute to what they call Obama's failed record on rectifying the economy.

If Obama wants to win next year, he needs to start bruising his GOP opponent now.
