(4,835 posts)The question is; will this sway independents.
I have to say; it does not view well on a mobile device, and there is a growing number of people who exclusively use mobile devices (like myself).
The message, while effectively negative toward the conservatives (regardless of whether it is an example of illegal behavior or not) in its current form on a mobile device is not effective.
Go ahead and put the little rolling around laughing emoticons and call me a troll. I don't believe in its current form, coming from the white house; it will sway independent voters.
If what he's doing is illegal; why hasn't the IRS gone after him? If its not illegal; in some people's eyes (let's call those people independent voters) he just looks like he's smart enough to beat the tax system (which they probably view as bad anyway).
Either way it doesn't make Obama look better; at best it makes his administration look like they're not going after tax evasion aggressive enough. At worst it makes him look like he's bitter because he isn't rich.
Again, the message is good, the graphic is not, and it should not come from the Obama campaign.
