Urban Insanity | '...It’s going to get ugly—it always does, and this year, it already has. But by almost every measure, the 2012 election is going to be the most negative in the history of American politics. In this, the post-hope election, the promise of Obama’s last campaign has been turned inside out. For all the Republicans’ attempts to emphasize the virtues of austerity, the animating force of their party is hatred of Obama, his “Kenyan” ancestry, his “socialism” and Chicago associates, and the charge that he took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and landed us in an anxious, alien landscape that doesn’t feel anything like what people used to call “America.” Four Ads That You Might See Next Fall Twelve Rules for Mauling Your Opponent on TV Obama, of course, has a record he can point to, having saved the economy from collapse and salvaged the American car industry, not to mention acing Osama bin Laden, but the banner headline “We’re Not in the Great Depression!” isn’t a platform he can run on.'

Your typical 16 year old living in a provincial town with dreams and aspirations that will never be achieved.

"But I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. You hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."

“How are we going to punch him every fucking day in the face with the best fucking message that is going to drive voters in our favor?” [a veteran of past presidential campaigns, and an associate of Mitt Romney’s team] asks. “How do we do it nationally? How do we do it in the states? How do we do it over and over and over? We’re not going to win the fight with a knockout punch; we’re going to win it with kidney blows that make your opponent so feeble that he can no longer raise his hands to cover his face.”

The face in question is that of President Barack Obama.
