The lamestream media's goal is to divide and conquer. Start a negative "he lost" narrative that Dems quickly pick up, and let the Dems tear down the top of the ticket themselves while they sit back and laugh. And then when Dems react by siccing a Biden on them, they suddenly reverse narrative, but continue to trash the President in even harsher terms based on his supposed "weak" performance, despite the fact that he laid out fact after fact and details on plans for the next 4 years, all while attempting to counter lies from Rmoney.

Don't fall for the bullshit negative bashing of the President.

Obama/Biden = a TEAM. They are working together from both sides.
