After Ohio and Texas Defeat, Obama May Be Ready To Fight
posted in Politics, News & Events | | | View blog reactions | Print This PostThis is a follow up to the last piece about “Obama Plays Patty Cakes While Clinton Punches Him In The Face”
The Obama approach of thinking he can just walk around with his head in the clouds and not engage Clinton, not respond to attacks, respond soft spoken-ly and timidly on the few occasions when he does respond, and allow her to fly free with minimal critique of her claims and action has had a growing effect.
Sure, by one angle Tuesday wasn’t so great for Clinton because she’ll only net 4 or 5 delegates out of the day; but that really doesn’t matter since this thing isn’t going to be decided by pledged delegates (those are delegates decide by the voters, as opposed to superdelegates) . He didn’t deliver the knock out punch he had the opportunity bring, and left things in the hands of the arbitrary party bosses. This with two huge states likely to be added back to the primaries that favor Hillary Clinton - revotes in Florida and Michigan.
It all reminds me of an episode of Good Times. This young, articulate, astute brother was running against the incumbent; that baldheaded old Black huckster, for city council (I forget his name, the one that always calls Willona by the wrong name).
Anyways, both were at the Evan’s apartment and the young dude refused to play the dozens no matter how much the incumbent old dude snapped on him on with James and J.J.’s help. Even with Florida and Willona egging him on, and snapping back in his defense, he still wouldn’t play along.
Eventually the young kat loses the race. James at that point finally listens to his positions, and decides maybe he should have given him more of chance. The young kat realizes, you have to reach the people on a personal level before they’ll hear what you have to say, and you can’t let attacks go unabated; and resolves to run his campaign differently next time.
The point is that the problem is that alot of people can’t hear your good ideals when they can’t see past what a wimp you are (perception is reality, doesn’t matter if you’re not really a wimp).
Why do you think Dennis Kucinich goes nowhere even in the Democratic Party, when he espouses the positions that most Democrats say they’re for? Because he looks like a p-ssy before he opens his mouth, and then he sounds like a p-ssy when he does open his mouth.
It seems that Obama finally agrees with me that he needs
to step it up: news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080305/ap_on_el_pr/obama
Now he said the stuff contained in the article, but he still said it timidly (I’m going by having watched the video on the news last night). At least he finally realizes he needs to stop standing on the sideline and get into his own fight; though he was still soft stepping in doing it. If he stops soft stepping and learns to be assertive and direct, then he can finish this menace off.
