Obama's Negative Campaign Against Success

By Robert Tracinski

Excerpts:

• Yet the real focus of the left's negative campaign is on the issue of economic class.
• What they are really attacking is wealth and success. 
• Obama is signaling that his goal is not to boost the economy and make everyone prosperous. He wants us to forget about raising ourselves up and focus instead on knocking somebody else down.
• Whatever you may think of Romney's political career, his career in the private realm is a story of unusual competence and achievement. Yet it is precisely that story that Obama wants to deny, disparage, and even criminalize.
• The question in November is how many voters will accept this warped message--how many will be like Brownstein's swing voters--and how many will be repulsed by it. That, in turn, will depend on what Mitt Romney does to fight back, not just against the details of the negative attacks on him, but against the world view behind them. [emphasis added]

Excellent.  We are like the frogs in the rising temperature of an anti success mindset that Obama is creating.  It is happening slow enough so that people don't know that it is happening.  If it happened suddenly, they'd run, not walk away from this guy.
