Pollster grifter Mark Penn is misleading from the very first sentence of his Huffington Post column on what President Obama must do to win reelection:

(...)


Ok, fine, let's read on and see. According to Penn, if Obama wants to win, he must forcefully defend the essential principles of the Democratic party and fight for organized labor and healthcare access for all, while sharply breaking with conservatives and "moderates" who want to slash the social safety net to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. In order to energize his liberal base, he should promise to reintroduce the public option and slash defense spending, proposing both as deficit-cutting measures that will help instead of hurt the middle and working classes. He should also close Guantanamo Bay by executive order and try detainees in civilian courts, to show that he sticks by his ideals even in the face of political opposition. Then he must push for a major jobs program and get combative with the deeply unpopular (and hugely profitable) financial industry, which will appeal to white working voters who may otherwise no longer feel that the Democratic party represents them.

Ha ha ha just kidding, Mark Penn actually just thinks Obama needs to "make a major move towards fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget as President Clinton did." Can't believe Mark is giving this gold away, instead of charging millions of dollars, like usual.
