Was it smart for Obama to attack Clinton after two losses, especially when the MSM was doing it?
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 06:47 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
Obama has made some troubling political moves lately that show he doesn't appear to be able to manage expectations well or neutralize his opponents. He also let the racial divide get out of hand and backfire before trying to stop it and he is letting stories of "racial divide" fester out there probably hoping it will help in SC. Short sighted.

The latest troubling miscalculation is going on the attack against president Clinton after TWO LOSSES that Clinton played a role in. Going after a campaign surrogate instead of the candidate shows weakness and sounds like whining. THe MSM was already doing his bidding on Clinton so that made it doubly troubling.

Obama's inexperience isn't only in policy, it looks like he's troublingly underqualified politically too.

2. HIllary's job for day one: get elected in 2012...what do the polls say about...
Hillary "Ever Swanning" Clinton.

Hillary fails to deliver in the manner as Pelosi and it looks like a pattern.

3. If Clinton is lying, he should call him out on it.
If he's prepared to confront Clinton face-to-face then it means he is convinced that Clinton is lying.

The lessons of swiftboating are painful and learned.

His pandering is one thing, praising Reagan well that went down like the Titanic and now this. Has he got a brain in there rattling around.
