I am deeply disturbed at the laxity of the Obama campaign during the last days of the just concluded Texas/Ohio primaries in which he lost the election. I am also more disturbed that the election was lost not on sound ideas but on "garbage politics" the Clinton campaign onloaded on Barack during this period.
It was saddening that the best the Obama campaign could do was just to be on the defensive, giving lame excuses and half-hearted explanations on what was the real truth while allowing Hillary to attack and distort the very foundation on which the Obama campaign is predicated-NEW TYPE OF POLITICS, HOPE, INSPIRATION, TRUST and VISION and GOOD INSPIRING SPEECHES. Hillary was allowed to trash these very principles and got away with them.
Look, the Obama campaign should realize that we can only CHANGE politics in America if we WIN THIS ELECTION. Period!!!!
Enough of this soft-glove approach to confronting Bill & Hillary Clinton on their dirty type of politics which is a take-no-captives strategy (KITCHEN-SINK STRATEGY).They cry foul at any opportunity while driving in the screws into their victims' heart. They distort, lie, attack, play the victim while talking about whatever they think they will offer to Americans from the other side of their mouth. They are succeding in painting Barack as naive, inexperienced and not ready to lead. Hillary even had the effontary to paint Barack (a fellow Democrat) as not beign ready to lead while giving a pass to John McCain (a Republican) as more prepared than Barack to lead. And Democrats did not find this offensive? I remembered Hillary shouting on top of her lungs how it was that Barack was arming the Republicans during the weeks preceeding the Ohio primaries, when Barack pointed out where Hillary and Bill stood on NAFTA and the gouge-out-your-pockets healthcare plan offered by the Clintons.
Look, Barack, I am speaking directly to you now if you will listen. You are not in this race to test how you can take punches. You are in this race to GIVE PUNCHES while delivering the good massage.
There is nothing wrong in stating the facts that Hillary and Bill are in this race for an ego-trip. She has suddenly realized that if she misses this "opportunity", she will be rather too old to run for office in 12 years time. DO NOT LISTEN to all those paid agents in the lousy American press who will want to attack you of "going against your principles" of a better kind of politics while they show Hillary's attcak lines and ads over and over again (free of charge). Do not be deceived by those who claim they are "put off" by negative ads while they actually make up their minds on how they vote based on same information on those so-called negative ads. They cannot have it both ways.
The Clintons are successfully attacking and erroding the very foundation upon which your campaign is built and all you can do is to give rather timid explanations why you think they are wrong? The American presidency is like ridding the tiger. It is not for the "chicken hearted". I know we want to play a new type of politics. I know the Clintons will always accuse you of stating that you promised that you will play a new type of politics whenever you "attack" them. But, this is America!!! More than half of the electorate do not bother to check the facts. They depend on spin and what they hear or see on TV and radio to guide their decisions. Yes, this is the gospel truth whether we like to accept this or not. Impressions matter, and this is where the Clintons are beating the hell out of the Obama campaign. They are all over the networks. They have co-opted most of the so-called "Democratic Strategists" who appear on the networks. You need to watch and see the subtle campaign beign run by these so-called Democratic strategists on behalf of Hillary. Where are the Obama media people and sorrugates? They are all missing in action. All I see on TV is this Wolfson character and the Hillary's sorrugates.
Look, we can raise all the money in the world but if the Hillary campaign is allowed to frame the debate, then, the Obama campaign does not stand the chance of winning. Obama needs to win elections to widden the gap on pledged delegates between him and Hillary so that this her stupid arguement of winning the "BIG STATES" does not even hold any water .Hillary is dismissing other states that are not New York and California as IRRELEVANT in chosing the president of the United States of America and the Obama campaign are allowing her to get away with this insult. This election is not about who becomes the president of New York, Pensylvania, Ohio, California, Florida as Hillary will want us to believe but who becomes the PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (including Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and Alaska)
Hillary & Bill Clinton have an Achilles heel-TRUST & SECRACY!!!. You cannot trust this twosome (no matter how well-intentioned they pretend to be). They are scandal-prone. Let us remind the voters that while the Clintons are claiming that they have been "thoroughly" vetted (whatever that mean), the vetting is yet to begin when the Republicans will onload on both of them. It is fair game for the Republicans to go after Bill Clinton (since this is a co-presidency) who has a lot of baggage (add that to Hillarys'). The mere thought of having this two characters in the White House is enough to cost the Democrats the November elections. As an independent, I would have voted for John McCain (since he is the lesser of two evils) before I vote for any of the Clintons to occupy the White House. This is what these lunch bucket Democrats who are voting for Hillary in these primaries have failed to realize. THIS ELECTION WILL BE DECIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS, not by Democrats or Republicans!!!
I rest my case!!!
