Getting some flashbacks to mid 90s Yahoo.

It does give off a Yahooligans-esque vibe, doesn't it?

I read that exclamation point as a scream of terror.
"It's Jeb! Run for your lives!"
Is that logo for real? Who did he hire to design that?
Hilary's is silly, it's like something someone fresh out of design school would come up with, but Jeb's is deeply embarrassing. Whoever made it needs to apologize to everyone right now.

Man it's crazy just how far ahead Obama was from a campaign perspective, on every level. Logo, online presence, events, campaign staff training, etc. Even Hillary's big announcement event seemed staged and lifeless compared to Obama's first event.
I really don't sense any momentum behind any candidate right now. Perhaps because it's so early...

I don't think so. Too many stickers/posters/cards/etc out there. The stage at her official announcement speech was even shaped like that H with an arrow pointing out. It's not a great design but the one good thing I've seen from it is on twitter where the campaign removes the fill color/pattern and puts in some other kind of image. It works pretty well for that.
This Jeb logo is another level of bad.
Hillary's is at least functional; her design folks have been doing some pretty sharp google-doodle-esque pandering with all sorts of redesigns. Now that I've seen the different locations and issues overlayed onto the base template, I understand what they were going for and why the basic "H" had to be pretty bland.
Jeb's reminds me of a Broadway musical poster with just the title character on it.

It's really strange to read someone like Peggy Noonan and see the clown car referred to as a deep, highly qualified field.

I have a feeling Jeb's announcement is really going to bring neoGAF servers to their knees tomorrow, so it's probably best to get your Jeb announcement thoughts out now while you still can.

Yeah, out of all possible things happening tomorrow, what's really going to kill GAF is Jeb Bush's announcement.
That tracks.
Is America that dumb enough to elect another Bush into the White House?
or Get ready for Iraq War 3.0 & Afghanistan 2.0 with a side of Syria 1.5.

Jeb has to be the weakest assumed front runner in decades. Some might argue for Rudy in 2008 but I'd say anyone who expected him to do well with heartland republicans was crazy.
There is literally no momentum or movement for this guy outside of beltway types and corporate folks. Plus Rubio is going to make it hard for him to win Florida and start a comeback (I'm assuming he'll lose most of the pre-Florida contests).

ICE BURN.
I don't think that's strange at all. Noonan's basically Michelle Bachmann on ambien.

But he's got an exclamation mark in his logo! Can you not feel the astroturfed excitement?
Obama was better than Washington. That's why. Then he had two awesome years as President. After that he had some other victories but the GOP and SCOTUS kicked his progressive agenda in the gut. Democratic Party incompetence in Congress didn't help either. Obama was the closest thing we've had to a true progressive since FDR and LBJ but the powers that be sure put a lid on that...
Hillary would be an okay president but not as good as Obama in terms of priorities at least.

I honestly believe he fucked up big time by not blocking the banker bonuses early on.
You could feel the populist balloon start to deflate at that moment. Things might have been very different if he'd managed to keep the populism train going awhile longer.

It would depend a lot on what he did and under what conditions, but the suggested cap on private businesses compensation would have really, really rubbed me the wrong way. Unless it was somehow tied to unrepaid bailout money, I'd have considered it a huge overreach.

You might have.
A lot of people really had their enthusiasm dampened when bailed-out banks still paid out those bonuses.
Not saying you're right or wrong. Just asserting that it hurt Obama.

That's exactly what many called for at the time. So that it's not a permanent thing, and it gives incentives to payback the bailouts so that top brass can return to huge pay bonuses. Unfortunately we never saw it happen.
The other thing that would have gone over very well, some top brass indictments, even if the trials ended up nowhere. People just saw the bankers get money with no limits or consequences and got disillusioned immediately.

Textbook no drama Obama+being a corporatist. That was the perfect opportunity to fuck the banks. I understand nationalizing them wasn't going to happen, but the fact that nothing happened really set the stage for the rest of his presidency.
This is funny. Good job, Christie.
What thread?
Do you have a link for this? It's funny that Romney of all people is trying to tag Clinton as being disingenuous. In truth, he's probably not wrong and maybe since he's a bald face liar he can spot 'em better than most.

Odd, Jeb's logo reminds me that the show about his brother had an exclamation point. "That's my Bush!" Is now "That's my Jeb!" In my head.
Thanks. Romney needs to just go away. Instead I'm reading that he is trying to play Elder Statesman and may even endorse a candidate during the GOP primaries. Who would even want his advice? Dude was one of the worst pres candidates in a long, long time.

Nice snark Christie. Now he should probably do something about the fact that Carly Fiorina is leading him in the primary according to PPP
Yes, this too.

Christie's going nowhere so I don't think he has much to lose by saying the stuff he's saying.
