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.

Honestly, this article doesn't make any sense to me.

Now you know how we feel when we read you rambling and contradicting posts.

I didn't see any evidence of what he is supposedly unprepared for...did I miss something..?

And by "right-wing attacks" do you mean attacks coming from Hillary? Because about 90% of them are coming from her, at least originally, despite McCain borrowing most of them for himself.

I think he did a great job going up against the Clinton/Clinton juggernaut, I don't think he'll have a problem going against McCain/Clinton as long as he has to.

And hey, at least he is electable.

I think this article is specifically about the Michelle Obama dustup that's going on right now. A gaff by a candidates spouse during the primary season isn't really a good indicator of anything.

But as long as he has to fight Clinton and McCain simultaneously, it gets really tricky. I wish he could just concentrate his fire in one direction, but this stupid primary is going on FOREVER.

Michelle just spoke for him. Rather bluntly, but I already had received her message through him in more subtle ways.

So no harm, no foul.

She didn't say anything I hadn't already heard.

Electable? That's your reality, not mine!
