Obama has to define himself NOW

[Ninja Jordan]

IMO he needs to spend millions over the next 6 mos. on an massive information campaign about his background and upbringing. Only 51% of people have formed an opinion on this guy. Is he gonna let Hillary and the republic candidates do it for him?

1. the idea

that Hillary was behind attacks on Obama has been refuted here many times.

[Ninja Jordan]

2. As his main primary opponent, she will attempt to 'define' him in the future.

I'm not accusing her of the madrassa thing.

6. No not the madrassa but, today's story on his unappeal to blacks is hers.

3. He already has made his statement, imho.

He doesn't like anybody born before 1960.

4. Hillary has been "defining" Obama? n/t

9. DUers have sent Insight magazine subscriptions through the roof.

:evilgrin:

5. There is a year to go. Many debates and meet and greets in the states

calm down. he will let himself be known for who he is. He has lots of people backing him with big $$$. He just bagged the big Kerry money donor and he has a Hollywood fundraiser a week after he announces hosted by Dreamworks guys.
He just picked up Soros who endorsed him over the weekend. He is fine. His facebook is smoking with over a 100000 sign ups.
He is setting up offices in NH and Iowa.
He is doing fine.

7. Whose idea was it to start campaigning 22 months before the next election???

imo, that's at least 12 months too early. There is bound to be a huge burn-out with the voters, especially with the msm doing polls on a daily basis.

Just sayin'!

8. The more he shows his cards early, the sooner the MSM will try to destroy him

I think he's doing fine at the pace he's going. I'd even slow it down a tad...in this case, less is more.

10. Obama? so far so good, seems to be dealing properly with "the poitics"

of a presidential election and he's hasn't even begun yet. Without even trying he has Oprah Winfrey and George Sorros supporting him, also I'm sure the list is much longer then that!

[IndianaGreen]

11. He has already written two best selling books, without a village ghost writer

and he has yet to announce he is a candidate.

I don't see the point of what you are advocating. Any Democratic nominee will be swiftboated by the GOP. The thing to do is to strike back quickly rather than let the lies to gain a foothold in the voters' consciousness.
