Four
years ago
Obama
ran on hope and change.
This
time,
unlderline
the hope,
lowercase
the change.
Chearleader
in chief.
An
overall optimistic tone,
with
just the right balance
between
optimism
and
realism.
Find
the sweet spot.
Newt
Gingrich declared,
“America
is decaying.”
Mitt
Romney called the nation
a
“virtual Titanic.”
Believe
in America.
An
incumbent has to err
on
the side of optimism.
A
challenger has to sell
the
need for change.
Obama
pays tribute to the country.
The
president has
a
hopeful message.
Republicans
can be as
apocalyptic
as doomsday.
Stick
to talk about the future.

I like this poem because it expresses my belief that people are
going to get tired of Republicans bad-mouthing America.
2/6/2016 Update
It's interesting to look back four years ago today when I was doing my News Print Poetry project. Obama was going to be the Democratic nominee and the Republicans were fighting it out to determine who their nominee would be. The Republicans were bad-mouthing America and they are doing it again.
