Senator Obama:
Sir, if you were suing GM would you use GM's lawyers, and expect to win the law suit?
Then why are you using old Clinton aides, in your campaign, and expecting to win?
Don't you know as soon as you go into senior strategic executive session with your top aides, the old Clinton aides get on the phone and call Clinton and tell him everything that was discussed?
This is self-evident.
For example, the earlier debate, the moderator asked you a question concerning the number of Clinton aides on your staff, and Hillary laughed and said, "I'd like to know that too!!!
That caught you by surprise didn't it? But Hillary wasn't surprised at all.
Someone in your campaign leaked the information to the moderator, in my opinion.
I suspect there have been other leaks as well.
(I wonder why Hillary released her economic plan 36 hours before you released yours? I'll bet you a years salary that you were going to release yours first, but someone in your campaigned leaked it to Bill; so they released first. Sir, you are in deep trouble).
Just as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs would not have on his staff, the Chairman of the Russian Joint Chiefs, in my opinion, you should not have Clinton aides working on your staff.
Otherwise, Bill Clinton is running Hillary's staff and yours.
Bill is picking your pockets clean.
I would advise you to clean house, if you expect to win.
****
Sir, who is advising you? Someone is advising you not to go on the news shows to explain your positions.
Whomever it is, they need to go.
Here's why:
You cannot win by keeping silent.
A highly decorated war General hero tried to win an election without talking. He lost; despite being the odds on favorite.
General Westmoreland had laryngitis and couldn't talk; and lost the election.
Whomever advised you to stay away from the Sunday talk shows during New Hampshire, and not to respond to the Clintons, has committed a serious error.
You as an individual do not have to answer every time, but when Clinton says something, your spokesman can say something to the effect like this:, "The Clintons are distorting my record again. What they say is factually incorrect," and then give the correct information.
You have not in the case above compromised your principles; but you have an answer on record.
The American people would understand that you are defending yourself and not engaging in the gutter politics of the Clintons.
You have got to defend yourself!!!!
Also, who advised you to bring up Reagan's name, the most anti-union President in history, on the eve of the Nevada vote?
If you did it on your own; then it was a bad move; and you should not repeat it.
It's a good strategy in the general but is a disaster in the primaries.
If staff suggested it, then fire them immediately, because they are working for Bill trying to sabotage your campaign.
David Axelrod is not an effective spokesman. He has trouble speaking and stammers sometimes. He might be bright, and can fit somewhere else in the campaign; but his bad speaking habits reflects badly upon you; and the people you would select if you were to win.
All Clinton's spokespersons past and present are excellent speakers; Myers-press lady; George Stephanopolous, etc.
On the the plus side for you, Tom Daschel is outstanding. If all your spokespeople were in the mold of Daschel; it would be a tremendous boost for your campaign.
****
Sir, why are you letting Hillary get away with filibustering during debate?
You have to be careful and hit back, without being too direct. If you are too direct, then you'll lose some of the women's vote. You have a very difficult job, but there is no doubt you must hit back!!!!
She stole your "Yes we can" slogan last night and you said nothing!!!
Sir, you could have said "True leadership is when others follow me. Americans just saw Hillary use my slogan, thus following my lead. Now, America, I must ask you, who is the true leader?
****
I'm sure she ran over her time; the commentators said so.
In that case you could say, "Mr. moderator, are you going to enforce the time rule?"
And then you could say, "How can someone say they will follow the rules of law, the constitution, when they cannot even follow the time rules?"
You have to fight back!!!
****
Hillary is challenging the rules in Nevada concerning Casino voting.
We know why: because she didn't get the Union endorsement.
For 10 months, the rules were ok with Hillary.
Two days after you got the endorsement she decides to sue.
Now she claims not to have known what the rules were.
You can nail her on that by saying: "My opponent claims to be ready on day one in the Whitehouse, yet my opponent took ten months to understand the simple Nevada rules.
I do not call that ready to go on day one."
****
When she says, "terrorist will strike a new President who does not have experience," you can say, "Is that the reason the terrorist struck the World Trade Center during the first Clinton Administration?"
****
There might be a truce, but the Clintons are on full war footing, but being the gentleman that you are, you are still at the gate. Not good.
For example, she called your vote on the Energy Plan "Backwards."
That was a personal attack on your integrity and your intelligence, so you are justified in fighting back.
You should reply, "Not as backwards as the Chaney-Bush-Hillary Iraq war."
****
You can tell she is on war footing:
Again, for example, after the Nevada debate, you were gracious enough to walk over and shake her hand; she barely acknowledge you.
And when you went over to sign autographs, instead of her starting at the opposite end of the stage, she came rudely right in your face and began to try and steal your spotlight as if she owned the whole stage.
****
She's stolen your "Change" slogan as well as your "Yes we can" slogan.
She barely shook your hand.
She rudely boxed you in on stage, and came right into your spotlight.
She has stolen your "young people" strategy and her and Bill are playing to younger crowds.
****
Hillary doesn't have an original idea. She steals and cries her way to the top, and is jealous of your success. Those are the most dangerous kind of people. Jealous-hearted. They'll do anything to win.
****
You need to start fighting back if you want to win.
****
When she gave her explanation about the "fear factor," she used to describe your inexperience, you should have shot back, "yes, but it is still fear mongering."
And don't let her get the last word.
If she persists, just turn to the camera and say, "the American people, having heard George Bush fearmonger us into the war in Iraq for 7 years, know fear mongering when they hear it."
****
After each debate, do you have an after action plan?
The military uses after action plans to improve strategy.
****
Sir, you did better on the Nevada debate than the last time.
I rated you the last time a C and Hillary an A.
This time, I rated you a B and Hillary an A.
****
Sir, why does Hillary know so much about your organization?
Is her opposition research team better than yours?
Simple, get rid of yours, and make your new team's OR better than hers.
***
Sir, you have $100 million, so please get the best debate coach in the nation and practice, practice, practice.
You must not let her ramble on over her time limit, unchallenged.
You must not let her get the last word.
You must beat her in debate, period!!!!
