In Desperation, Obama Turns to Herbert Hoover

Morning Jay| The Weekly Standard

excerpt:
Obviously, all of this amounts to an incredibly weak reelection strategy. But what else does President Obama have to run on? The macroeconomic climate is terrible, and unlikely to improve enough to make things feel better for average people. The debt has gone through the roof. The health care bill, his chief domestic achievement, remains massively unpopular.

What else can he do, but deflect blame, tout the things he’s done (not their effectiveness), and castigate the GOP as the party of anti-American radicals?

You need one more thing to beat Obama:  a strong candidate.  If the Republican nominee doesn't measure up, we are in a world of excrement.  Unfortunately, people don't pay much attention until election time.  Now is the time to pay attention because the only alternative to Obama is being decided upon now.
