Obama’s Organizing for America has released a new video featuring the president and first lady encouraging their supporters to “get in the game.” Fired up? Absolutely — you can see the enthusiasm in their eyes as they dutifully read their cue cards:
To me, the message seems deflated, lacking the energy they desperately need to impart on their base. What do you think?
