The Media and the Debate

Washington Post, how Clinton acted would act tough during a crisis while Obama showed he has only two years real high politics experience.

Slate, in essence making Obama sound better and tougher, correction of his flawed debate Performance.

The Politico, states the following on Obama and the Debate, " After Obama responded to two foreign policy questions with indirect, rambling answers, he was able to use the combative responses of Kucinich and Gravel ( other Democrats in the field ) as a foil for his second try at sounding decisive. " There is a thread that the Media and the love in with Obama is at and end, this is real hard tough politics, sounding the call for a positive debate might work in Berkley it just gets you second in Presidential Politics. Nixon learnt that lesson the hard way in 1960 when Kennedy's Campaign was out to win no matter what and how, Nixon had not been tough enough, he was in 1968, does Obama need another eight years to learn how to Run to be President, this is his challenge NOW, otherwise it will be Hillary Clinton in 08.


Newsweek.
What Obama has to do to during the next few months to put some meat on his campaign, but not to much meet that it can be turned around and used to destroy that campaign. VIEWS did read some troubling aspects, the Senator come across behind closed doors as a bit of a Jimmy Carter and John Kerry, clever but does he need to be the brainest person in the room and asking a lot of questions to advisers in and out of the campaign. As Reagan showed, have four or five major policy aims, keep on record and WIN. Being the best and brightest is not that great, Vietnam anybody, hope Obama is not another Carter or Kerry.
