Obama’s 2012 Campaign Strategy

With gloomy ratings and the 2012 presidential race beginning to heat up everyone is wondering what President Obama’s 2012 campaign strategy is going to be.  We all remember his last campaign strategy, with a message of Hope and Change.  President Obama was able to lift the spirits of the American people and provide them with the hope they needed to vote for him.

However this presidential race posses to be a lot different then the last.  The nation is even more divided then it was back in 2008, no matter how surprising that may seem.  The biggest struggle right now is the fact that there seems to be a divide amongst Americans, between the Christians and the ungodly.  The GOP is definitely using the strategy that they are the more righteous, they are here to uphold the Christian beliefs and ensure that our nation does not stray from the Constitution, because apparently, to them the nation is going down and we all know where that leads us…hell!

Therefore, for the upcoming 2012 presidential race, Obama is going to have to come out a bit stronger, then his original message of hope and change for the country.  The political strategists on Obama’s team have realized this and they have created a campaign strategy that will hopefully help him succeed and be re-elected as president.  For his 2012 campaign strategy, his strategists have come out with a plan that is a bit more cutthroat then the first time around.  He will focus in on bringing up how scary it would be for a Republican to be president based upon all of the changes they want to make and what that would mean for the people.  For instance he will be sure to focus in on how the Republicans have voiced their concern over certain systems such as:

• Social Security
• Medicare and Medicaid
• Education Programs
• Financial Aid for Students
• Welfare Systems
• Health Care System
• EPA
• Taxes
• “Cut Cap and Balance”

President Obama is sure to bring up the fact that the stuff that the GOP wants to do to the country would harm it much more then help it.  He will bring up the fact that the Republican Party has outdated ideas and views for our country and will not only stunt the growth of America it will harm the citizens as well.

The Republican candidates are definitely helping the president by playing into his criticisms of their party.  Instead of the GOP members actually using intelligent tactics to attack the president such as his spotty political record, the 9.1 percent unemployment rate, the downgrade of the credit system and an overall decline in the economy, they are bringing up arguments such as Obama as a person, religion, abortion, evolution, gay rights and their favorite argument, ensuring the constitution is being upheld.

The GOP candidates this year are pulling out all of the stops to ensure that they are being heard.  However what they should be more concerned by is the fact that they are completely ignoring another large population of voters, those who actually may not be Christians.  The Republican candidates running have been extremely outward about who they are speaking to and how they are trying to make sure that our nation holds onto the Christian beliefs and standards that it was founded on.  The problem with this is the fact that many voters could really care less about that.  For the 2012 presidential election voters what to hear about the issues, the actual issues.  Unless the GOP begins discussing things such as the economy, jobs, unemployment rates, the housing market and other main concerns, they have a good chance of losing their core audience.
