Does Obama have a case of Battered Wife Syndrome? [View All]

[nebula]

...or sort of a battered wife syndrome in reverse?


He gets pummelled and mauled on a daily basis, tagged and tripled team by the unholy alliance of the corp media, Hillary, McCain. And yet Obama does little to hit back while his poll numbers in NC, Indiana, and national standing are steadily being eroded. He may be ahead right now, but we all know how things can quickly change in political races. What is he going to do to reverse this troubling situation? when is Obama going to wake up and realize that this passive nice guy approach might have worked well for him in the past, but now is no longer cutting it?

how well did the nice guy routine work out for Gore in 2000, Kerry in '04? does he have the ability to adapt, or is he going to remain stuck in the same gear for the forseeable future?

This relentless smear campaign is going to destroy Obama's chances in the GE, if not the primary. If he does not answer back with his own attacks. Which is their intended effect. can Obama not see what is happening now, or is he blind to it? Is he going to keep letting his opponents batter and kick the crap out of him in the days and weeks ahead, while he stands there and takes it? how longer can this all out smear campaign go on, day in and day out, without eventually taking its toll?
