Obama, Meet Me On Camera Three*
*a reference from The Daily Show in which John Stewart breaks through the bullshit to give some honest advice.
Senator Obama,
Please. Enough with the tic for tic accusations between you and Senator Clinton. I understand you don't want to have a Clinton campaign attack to grow into a Swift Boat-sized lie. The problem is, people like you best when you are giving them Hope, not just political S.O.P. My advice, let the Clinton campaign look petty, and ignore the buzz. Go out and talk about important issues to all Americans: Getting out of a recession, getting the cost of gas and groceries to drop, and getting us out of Iraq while keeping America "safe and secure". Sure we the people take to rubber-necking at whatever Britney or Paris is doing, sure we take belly-aching to an all-new art form, but we do care about the issues.
So less about the hoodwinking that Republicans do to squeeze Red votes out of policies that harm them economically, and more about the vision-thing. That kind of thing appeals to all kinds of demographics and scares the living shit out of the McCain camp.
It's time to look Presidential, and to take those vital steps to heal our party and get us re-energized to get a Democrat in the White House, and restore honor and dignity to the White House...and sanity. Loads and loads of sanity.
