Another Low for Obama

Just when you think that the Obama campaign has sunk as low as it could possibly get, things get worse. Today, Obama decided that he is going to ignore the tradition of each party not interfering with the conventioin of the other. For the past century, the candidate of the other party has basically laid low while the convention of the other party was underway. Well, not anymore! Obama is going to be out campaigning in full force during the GOP convention. It is a tacky move, particularly for the president of the United States who ought to act with at least some dignity. Instead, Obama is acting more like a ward hack from Chicago. Someone needs to tell him that he is running for president and not alderman.

With Obama out campaigning during the Tampa convention, it is safe to assume that Romney will then be out to campaign while the Democrats are in Charlotte for their convention. Obama will have managed to end one bit of civility that had survived in American politics for a century. It is about as far from hope and change as one can get.
