Ok, the title is from the Bible, the famous "writing on the wall" which meant that Balthazaars days of reign were numbered. I used that more for the pop culture refernce than anything else. Obama's campaign has been in collapse since the first debate. That was of course an arguable position, but the collapse has persisted. Check out these two ads. Tell me if they represent a campaign that is self confident of a win. That they represent a campaign that's not on the run, grasping at whatever roots are left growing out of the cliff side.

Yes, I know that neither are direct Obama campaign ads. One is moveon.org, and one is a different third party group. Still.....are these the type of ads anyone would run at any other time besides a time of sheer desperation. Both are asinine in nature. I'm telling you folks, Obama's supporters have already seen the writing on the wall.

Oh, and check this one out. Stupid as well, but cute girl! :)

I saw that, I'm glad to see Obama acting presidential in response to a crisis. And Christie was just being good 'ol Christie, in response to why he was going to tour with Obama during a sensitive election. Goon on him for putting his own job and constituency first. Don't take his comments to mean "damn Romney altogether" or even really "damn Romney" at all. I wouldn't even call it any sort of endorsement for Obama.

O man I really wish you hadn't linked that. Now I'm going to have to try to watch Firefly without thinking about its politically idiotic creator. Luckily for me, I don't usually mix my entertainment sources with my socioeconomic sources.

It's a little more revealing the these non endorsed obama ads you've provided. That's all....

The Jeep fiasco, very poor response to disaster relief (and another flip-flop), and f*** Captain Malcom Reynolds endorses Obama. Romney isn't having the best of weeks here.
