BOG POSTObama Mocks Republican Party: ‘Starting To Sound Pretty Democratic’

******BARACK OBAMA GROUP, PLEASE READ RULES, THANK YOU KINDLY****************

Philadelphia, Pa. (CBS DC) – President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney rekindled their 2012 presidential campaign barbs Thursday, with Obama taking broad shots at the GOP and saying their party platform is “starting to sound pretty Democratic.”

Speaking to the House Democratic caucus in Philadelphia Thursday night, Obama exhorted a rallying cry for Democratic Party policies while taking shots at the Republicans – who hold a 58-seat majority in the House and 54-seat majority in the Senate.

Obama said Republicans are just now realizing that the richest 1 percent of Americans are succeeding while a growing number of Americans are falling into poverty.

“Even though their policies haven’t quite caught up, their rhetoric is starting to sound pretty Democratic,” Obama said of Republicans at the House Democratic retreat. “I consider imitation the highest form of flattery.”

He added that Democratic policies have been successful where Republican positions have failed

And a lot of them (senators anyway) have to get reelected in blue states. It seems like 25 republican senators are up for reelection in 2016, some swept in by tea party mania.

I don't think out 'mean spiriting' the next guy is gonna yield a victory for them. Democrats vote during presidential election years so house members will be more vulnerable too.

This is their chance to show their stuff. I expect that they will blow it.
