Is Obama Too Slow Responding To Right-Wing Attacks?

Politico:

It may be too little too late, but Hillary Clinton may have been onto something with her warning to Democrats last night.

Only one of us, she said about her and Barack Obama at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, is "ready to defeat the Republicans."

On potentially lethal lines of attack, religion and patriotism, Obama has twice now demonstrated that he's not sufficiently aware of the danger that exists from the conservative Freak Show that did as much to beat John Kerry as George W. Bush did in 2004.

So far Obama continues to increase his lead in the polls and in delegates.

Thus, He apparently responds appropriately.

[snowcat]

no he is not too slow

[lilibet]

Yes, but he is in full speed ahead in his attacks on Hillary Clinton.
Hillary has trouble in attacking Obama because he is to his adoring sheeple a teflon canidate.

[Felicty]

Should he even bother addressing such chronic stupidity? Why not flat out call the republicans for being the LIARS they all are,with every single accusation they try to employ against Barack?

"John McCain is a LIAR." See? It just rolls off the tongue. Such a direct statement would stop the motherfuckers dead in their tracks!

The republicans would have apoplectic fits!

[MajorKong]

The Republican slime machine running at full throttle is indeed a sight to behold.

This is the infamous Rev. Wright parising Farrakan, his good friend he travled to Libya in 1984 with. Obama is very slow in denouncing this, he hasn't really. When the right wing starts using it he better have an answer why he'd be a member of this church pretty quick.

Obama is like a deer caught in the headlights whenever he is criticized. Not good.

It doesn't matter . The wing nuts believe their claptrap based upon their alternate reality. Truth at any speed is slower than their preconceptions sitting there waiting to jump at a false conclusion.

LOOK MCCAIN VS OBAMA. OK WE CAN ALL LAUGH NOW OUT LOUD!!!

OH JUST LIKE THE DEMS DO NOT HAVE A MACHINE!!!!

[Marrob]

That's a sad fact, the democrats don't have a slime machine. The progressives talk show host are all pussie. This is exactly why we lose so much and don't understand that politics is a contact sport and requires a helmet. The republicans understand this and will say and do anything to get power. Remember liberal losers, it's all about winning, playing nice is for the kids at the family pinic.

[Gary47]

Not only is he too slow. All Democrats are too slow, or to dimwitted to pay attention to what's going on. Even after getting beat twice by one of the worst candidates ever. They've got their nominee - it is time to attack and destroy. Stop playing defense. Go on the offense, now!

[Felicty]

You people are really, really sad.

[TakLoufer]

Watch him pussy out of it ala Kerry, taking the "high road" instead of throwing it back at them, such as asking them how many of their children are proving they love America by enlisting in the US Armed Forces or National Guard.

[realitytrumpsbull]

Liberal, conservative, whatever, it's a subdivision. Divide, and conquer. If Barack wants to sit in the Big Chair, he should turn his attentions to the chronic ongoing problems, and stop farting around playing pattycake with Billary et. al. No in-fighting on the job, there, Pandidates. No promising people other people's money, either. Reform's a big job, get on it...

[CAPTAINSKIPPY]

The Obama believers seem focused on how evil the Clintons are; what seems a bit odd is that President Clinton staked claims near the Republican middle to win. And how far right will Obama go to "work with" Republicans? Clue for Obama: Republicans avoid progressive ideals like the plague. Just ask Lieberman, your mentor, if you have doubts about that.

[BOfever]

9 wins in a row?

Why respond at all?

[shinybear]

He seems to be doing just fine the way he's going about it doesn't he?

If you respond to every wing-nut you are letting THEM define the debate.

[Marrob]

Hey, it's the friggin PRIMARY!!! Democrats will not win, North Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Kansas, South Carolins, Georgia, Alabama etc. Obama is winning primaries for delegates. The states will determine the President and last I checked, there are no cacus states in the general election.

[CAPTAINSKIPPY]

Obama, it's not too late to "change your mind".

[init]

I can see why Obama went back to Chicago after earning such honors. Chicago is a speedy, diverse little town. I want Obama to be our new, young and qualified President. Change. I have lived 50+ years and NAFTA destroyed America's unions and overall job market. Yes they say Bush Sr. started Nafta, but Bill Clinton signed it into law. My Father sent my brother and I to college on a Chrysler Union Job. Yes we can! The Clintons want out of the Hell Hole they dug for themselves in their centrist (triangulation) to restore their image. This will blow your mind: Over sloppy S.. habits.

[Alessan]

The answer to Nafta is to take away business licenses and fine all businesses that hire illegal immigrants here in this country. Americans need to buy American cars, not foreign cars like Toyota, people would still have their jobs at the auto companies, it's supply and demand. GM sells more cars over seas than it does in the US. As a result, they plan to close more plants here and manufacture their cars where they are selling. WAKE UP AMERICA, the consumers are problem when it comes to the automobile industry.
By the way Obama is not the Unions friend, they
should have endorsed Hilary Clinton, since John Edwards is not in the race.
