  •  He's gotta fight back (2+ / 0-)

    I understand where you're coming from. Just a short three weeks ago, I mentioned that Obama should not go negative against Clinton. But look at the damage she's done to his reputation.

    Clinton is unelectable. She cannot win the nomination or the general election. Her negatives are too high. Obama, on the other hand, has the opportunity to still win the general election. Obama should bring up the honesty issue, and remind people why they need a president who does not mislead the American people. We've already witnessed Hillary being caught in a few whoppers, such as sniper attacks in Bosnia.

    I think Obama should not go into the Monical Lewinsky stuff but Whitewater, File Gate, her disastrous performance on health care are all fair game.

    One other thing, Obama needs to change the narrative. He needs some new campaign stump speeches. People are starting to tune him out because they've heard his stories over and over again.

      The reality of politics is that eventually you have to beat the hell from your opponent.  John Kerry learned that much too late.

    •  Fight back yes? Different from negative? (0+ / 0-)

      Defending yourself from attack is critical. But that's different than going negative. I'm talking about the mailers going out on trade and health care, or the robocalls on guns. That stuff is useless and just tarnishes his reputation.
