WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: “We Got One Last Chance Here To Make It Right”

Note: Part One of this 'White House Insider' interview is posted as a reply, and should be viewed first

Excerpt:

The timing of this interview comes just days after a soon to be published book authored by Richard Miniter details how it is Valerie Jarrett and not President Barack Obama who makes the final decision in so many of the most critical calls from within the White House – even those involving the United States military. This knowledge is nothing new to readers of this blog, for that very information first originated from our own longtime D.C. political operative some two years ago. We talk to that figure again now, in person – White House Insider.

PART TWO:

WHI: (BIG SMILE) Now you’re seein’ it. Romney got inside his head – Obama is rattled. The entire campaign is rattled. And Obama goes out and says what? You go ahead and tell me for a change. What does Obama say not two weeks after the Romney team slips that internal polling data over to them?

UM: “You didn’t build that.”

WHI: And that’s how you play smashmouth politics son. A mental castration of a sitting president. And the Romney team just did it as good as I’ve EVER seen it done right there. And the decision to make sure that polling data made its way back to Obama…that had to come from Mitt Romney himself. And when he did that…he balled up his fist and smacked Obama right up in his face. Right into that fake ass toothy fool grin of his. He let him know this ain’t gonna be 2008. This is gonna be a war. Barack Obama…Valerie Jarrett…Plouffe…Axelrod…they all got their asses kicked on this one.

Romney done good…

UM: Are you saying Obama was so rattled he didn’t mean what he said? The comments about “you didn’t build that”?

WHI: Oh hell no. No-no-no. He meant it. Every bit of it. (Pause) What I mean there is that he slipped up…the subject was burnin’ that little pea brain of his…so he slipped up. He allowed what he really feels to come right out into the open. He’s done that before…here and there. But this was…this time it was really out in the open – he was shouting it. The deal is…with Obama…like I’ve said – guy hates America. Really does. Thinks it needs…thinks there needs to be a reset button. Thinks the free market is evil. Thinks that only liberal government, Big Government, socialized government…whatever you wanna call it – he thinks that is the only real solution to how to reshape the country into his own image.

UM: And you believe that perspective is different from the traditional Democratic Party in America – correct?

WHI: You’re Godd-amn right it is – I’ll say it to you again and again – Obama ain’t no Democrat. Never was. Never has been. He controls the party…people who think like him…people who placed him in power…they control the party…but they represent something far different than what the party was 20 odd years ago.

UM: That change you suggest…it started during the Clinton years.

WHI: You askin’ me or you tellin’ me?

UM: That’s my opinion – it started during the Clinton years and accelerated during the Bush years. At least on a national level…a concentrated level. The Old Man says it started decades earlier – but the progressive thing…at least in my own lifetime…theClinton years seem to be where it really took root.

WHI: Bill Clinton ain’t Barack Obama – don’t make that comparison with me son.

UM: He has people from his administration who are now working – or were working, inside the Obama administration.

WHI: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

UM: Does that explain Eric Holder?

WHI: What?

UM: Holder – he came from the Clinton administration.

WHI: You know how I feel about Eric f-cking Holder.

UM: Maybe Holder…Clinton…maybe they are all cut from the same cloth? And Eric Holder is still there…still running interference for Obama.

WHI: Yeah – he’s still there. For now. Let’s see if that stays the same this fall. Ok? We got the vote, right? Not many woulda thought that possible six months ago. Certainly not a year ago. I’ve done all I can on that – and then some. And then some. I got…I done every bit of what I could possibly do there – you know that. You know what – you seen the results of that work. Me and a few others…we got our asses hanging way out there on this.

UM: But where does that leave it? What now?

WHI: What now is this – either the Republicans succeed in getting the special counsel…prosecutor…whatever the hell they callin’ it these days…or they don’t. The vote…God bless them there…that was not an easy call. People watching from the outside…they might think it’s an easy thing…but the media…they can turn that into a weapon against them if it ain’t handled right. Somethin’ like that…you gotta role it out real careful…real deliberate like. We ain’t finished with Holder – not by a long shot. There’s some more about to break on him…got a few loose ends…a few feet still draggin’ – but that’s about to change."

WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: How Mitt Romney Mentally Castrated The Obama Campaign

The Ulsterman Report
Ulsterman
7/31/2012

Excerpt:

"The timing of this interview comes just days after a soon to be published book authored by Richard Miniter details how it is Valerie Jarrett and not President Barack Obama who makes the final decision in so many of the most critical calls from within the White House – even those involving the United States military. This knowledge is nothing new to readers of this blog, for that very information first originated from our own longtime D.C. political operative some two years ago. We talk to that figure again now, in person – White House Insider.

PART ONE:

UM: Let’s cut right to it then – the Romney campaign. How are they doing against the Obama team?

WHI: Doin’ fine. Fine. Money coming in…they ain’t spending it much just yet. Which is smart. July is not the month to do that. Get it goin’ in August. Kick ass at that convention of theirs. Then pour it on right up to the finish.

UM: And the Obama campaign? How would you compare them to the Romney camp at this point?

WHI: They are running against everything and running for nothin’. That is tough to pull off for an extended period. The American people…once they start really focusing…they don’t want to hear negative-negative-negative all the time and that’s all we are getting’ from Obama these days. They are a long way off from the Hope and Change days.

UM: Specifically on that – the Obama team…you think they can still win this though? That Obama can be re-elected?

WHI: Oh hell yeah – absolutely. They are dragging his sorry ass all over the country, putting the words in his mouth…thinking the First Lady…that image they have been trying to create around her…the racism stuff…that campaign isn’t even close to be started on that yet…they are worried about money a bit…but they got about 90% of the media in their pockets…they got tens of millions still coming in…and they got the stupidity of a whole lot of voters who ain’t been paying attention to what this group has been doing to the country.

UM: What do the internal polls say? You look confident – that doesn’t happen when you are worried. So I assume you have information that is favorable to the Romney team?

WHI: (BIG SMILE) Guess I gotta work a bit on my…uh… poker face! Yes-yes-yes…that polling data the public rarely ever gets to see. The lifeblood of a campaign. The god-amn internals!

UM: Well?

WHI: Those Romney boys…they got a good pile of money and I said they ain’t been spending much just yet. But they have been doin’ their homework on gathering up a sh-tload of polling data – especially in those swing states.

…And it’s looking good for them. I’ll tell you that. Not a slam dunk no worried scenario – but they got a real chance here to win this thing. Their campaign…it’s been rock solid so far. Forget the bullsh-t media spin trying to drive home every little supposed mistake they’re makin’ – so far the Romney team is winning this thing. But the real race hasn’t quite started yet so they gotta be ready for the real show. That’s coming up next month. That’s when the real punches start. And Romney better be ready to take a punch, cause they are gonna come at him hard.

‘Course, they did something that got my attention – earned my respect. These boys can crack a lip open themselves. All suit and ties on the outside, but tough bastards behind the scenes. Reminds me a lot of the Reagan team. Smile to your face while they are kicking the sh-t out of you.

UM: Tell me what that was – what did the Romney team do to earn your respect?

WHI: It ain’t just this one thing – like I said. They are running a solid campaign. But I do like a team that can twist the knife a bit and do it with some style – and that’s what they did recently.

UM: So what was it?

WHI: All that internal polling – the swing states. What I was just telling you about…there was one in particular that came out very strong for Romney. Huge numbers. Had to have shocked the Romney team a bit – maybe an outlier. A glitch. We are talking in the neighborhood of a ten point walk over Obama. Ten points in a so-called swing state? Independents were like 60-40 favoring Romney. Women came out just ahead for Romney. Hispanics split almost 50-50. And even the Blacks polled were just under 80 for Obama – which we have not seen in any poll since 2007. Ever.

So this kind of data comes into the campaign, right? They give it a look-over…decide it has to be….somethin’ off. A mistake in the poll. Those numbers are just too favorable to Romney. He’s doing well but these internals are saying he is OWNING Obama in this state – a state that went for Obama back in ’08. Now normally you take that kind of poll with a big grain a salt…and you…you move on. Come back to it later. Got sh-t to do, right?

Not these Romney boys. They order up a new poll. Like…it’s within 48 hours. Do it again they say. Do it right. Increase the group. Poll more voters. Cross check the data and cross check it again. Be god-amn thorough this time.

Now that costs money – but that’s the kind of money…that’s how they are doin’ their spending. Smart. Focused. No waste. They want facts. They want real results….like a business…like a well run business. That has been the Romney campaign so far. When mistakes are made they quickly react…they refocus…they move on. Just like a business.

UM: The second poll – so they ran another poll? From a larger sample group?

WHI: Right – exactly. Spent a bit more money – they want to know EXACTLY where they are in this state. If they take this state early on Election Night – that could be it for Obama. One and done. It’s a swing state you see…but Romney ain’t supposed to win it. So yeah – they order up a second poll. Get the group to do it fast – that takes more money. But they spend it – willing to spend it to be certain of getting real information. That’s how it’s done – I respect that. Love a team that works like that. Let me know where we are at – where we really sit with these people…then let me take it from there. Get the f-ck outta my way and let me take it from there."
