Obama has too much Dukakis in him. Fight back damn it...

I will never forget Michael Dukakis being "Above the fray" when the right wing was attacking him.

Obama needs to answer the Hannity's blow for blow. Hell, he ought to go on his show and set his sorry butt straight.

It is amazing to me that the polls look as good as they do considering 99% of the corporate media is anti Obama.

I wanna see more Truman and less Carter in this respect, man!

Or, if nothing else, invest in a good attack dog!

I think Pres. Obama consciously avoids the possibility of being labeled an "angry black man." As unfair as that is, I think he thinks about it a lot.

In a marathon, you don't want to burn out in the first mile...

Personally, I think the President should just go undercover for a while and let the Repubs attack all they want. I think it might do him good to get out of the limelight for a few days. Just my opinion.
