#1 Plouffe - pronounced "puff".

OK now! Time to start campaigning for 2012! We can do this! (But not much else....)

#2 I seem to recall an episode of the TV sitcom "Get Smart" where American indians had gathered together to attack the United States in order to take over.

One of the chief's advisors upon realizing the immensity of the task remarked,

Green Meadows: Red Cloud, this is bad medicine! The United States has three million soldiers. We have but two hundred braves.
Red Cloud: [whispering] We must depend heavily on the element of surprise.

Obama and his advisor cannot depend as much on a pliant press and a gullible public for the midterms, but they will, and with predictable results.

Obama no longer has the element of surprise.

#4 ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, AP, Reuters, NYT, WaPo, LAT, etc., etc. not enough? Just one more propagandist will surely do the trick.

#6 Valerie Jarrett, Axelrod, and assorted Liars were hitting the mews shows today. They weren't successful. Even David Gregory (D-NBC) couldn't stomach Jarrett's bullshit

#8 The Peter Principle yet again.

When you find yourself over your head and incompetent, revert to your last success, in this case campaigning.

This is the key to this whole disaster. Obama is incapable of leading; only campaigning. Where will an endless campaign leave this country?

#10 Pronounce a well rounded "ploo", pause, "f", a longer,considering pause, wait for it, "f". That's how it's done.

#11 Plouffe has issued his first edict:
Plouffe to Dems: No 'bed-wetting'

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. Democratic Party campaign strategy manager David Plouffe says now is not the time for "bed-wetting" after the party lost a Massachusetts Senate election.

Plouffe, appointed by President Barack Obama to staunch further Democratic losses after Republican Scott Brown last week won the seat once held by the late Edward Kennedy, listed "no bed-wetting" in a Sunday Washington Post opinions piece as among the actions the party must take to recover in time for the 2010 midterm elections.

"This will be a tough election for our party and for many Republican incumbents as well," Plouffe wrote. "Instead of fearing what may happen, let's prove that we have more than just the brains to govern -- that we have the guts to govern."
