Obama needs to demonstrate that he can be strong and stand up to Hillary. He must answer her attacks and
he must deliver very rich and substantive retorts to Clinton's shenanigans.

If he doesn't, he will lose this.

He doesn't have to attack her. He just needs to hit her back--as hard as she hits him. Otherwise, he looks
like a wimp. Then, it's easier to argue that he's not tough and that he'll be soft on national security.

I remember reading an article about a reporter who was covering the debates. He was hanging around backstage during
a break and he saw Edwards say to Obama, "What are you doing? Get in there and fight! You've gotta get in this thing
and fight back!" That's probably the sole reason Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama. He first needs to see that Obama's
got the toughness to fight for Americans and fight off the special interests.

We know that Obama is honest and a man of integrity. We know he's not politics as usual. However, if he thinks
that polite responses to Hillary stealing this campaign away from him--is appropriate--then he's making the same
grave errors as John Kerry.

I'm really tired of seeing Obama constantly make these wishy-washy statements from his campaign bus (or is he on
a plane?). It takes him a minute to say 10 words and he's not speaking directly and concisely. She sounds weak!
Someone needs to step in and deal with this! Why is he constantly sequestered in his bus/plane? Get out and
be with the people! That's his strength. If he's avoiding rallies and speeches just because Hillary mocked them,
then that's a horrendous blunder on Obama's part.

He must fight and show us how he fights...damnit!!! He needs to come out swinging AND smiling!
