When will Obama talk about issues he wins on?
Seems like all we been hearing in the media was about Iraq/national security or off shore drilling.

Which according to the polls most people favor McSame on those items.

Yet the area which in the polls most people care about ( The economy ). Obama is ahead in the polls yet that is never the issue that Obama hammers McSame on or the media never talks about it.


You would think Obama would be bashing McSame on the area's he is ahead in the polls. Instead it seems like he is fighting McSame on his ground and the areas he wants to talk about. Obama needs to change this back around.


Also I think Obama needs to improve on those quick 5 - 10 seconds attacks on McSame. News clips only show a little bit. When Obama talks it takes him to long to make a attack. So the media never plays it.


Im not trying to put Obama down or anything. Im just so scared we could lose this election. The media seems to be giving McSame all the help. I was listening to CNN radio and they played a clip of McSame attacking Obama for 2 minutes. Then they play a clip of Obama talking about a dumb issue for 2 minutes. How the hell is that fair coverage. Why didnt they play a clip of Obama attacking McSame for 2 minutes? Seems like every time I turn on CNN radio they have someone on for McSame tearing apart Obama. Just so sick of it.

have everything to do with the ecomony.

2. Well the offshore drilling is being framed
by McCain and his allies in the coporate media, as a "solution" to rising gas prices (which is an issue that does effect the economy). Obama's run ads on his own solutions to the problem so in a sense he is addressing a key economic issue. I do agree though that he should also run ads on the housing crisis, bank/mortgage regulation and reducing outsourcing, these are issues that I think he can draw even starker contrasts with McCain.
