Diminishing Marginal Returns on Bashing Obama

We’re approaching it, if we haven’t already gone past it. And those who ignore this, do so at their own peril. There’s little more amplification that can be done on the tactic of blamming the President for this, that and the other thing. It’s not just piling on, it’s making people turn away and tire. It’s fill in the blank headline time – who even bothers to read the articles when you see the variation on the same theme ad nauseum:

Jindal Blasts Obama

Boehner Really Blasts Obama

Republicans ALL Blast Obama

Chris Matthews Blasts Obama While Getting Tingles on His Thigh

Spike Lee Blasts AND BLAMS Obama

Neil Armstrong Blasts OFF on Obama

Jon Stewart Laughs And Blasts Obama

Sarah Palin OF COURSE Blasts Obama

Just Google “blasts Obama.” You’ll see.

Combine all that with new research out from Pew that shows people are not all that excited, happy or eager to have as big an influx of red as we got last Tuesday, and you better believe that we’re soon approaching the point of diminishing marginal return on blasting our president.
