Hit back hard, one punch at a time.

Then, you turned the attack on McCain and Clinton without losing your focus.  You could have shown the depths of your hypocrisy.  However, that wouldn't be wise in the ultimate scheme of things.  Stay away from the negative.

clarification, expression of regret, was a bad idea.

There's a battle for control of this story. If the coverage focuses on the anger and pain of working people, Obama wins. If it focuses on his ill-chosen words about people clinging to God and guns, he loses. The way I see it, his clarification was an attempt to get the discussion to center on the former.

And my hope is that this week he gives a major speech addressing the economic struggles in our midst.

He tackled race and now he has to take on class. No one said it would be easy.

His eloquence is his best weapon.
