Obama, hit back.
Hillary can't win by lowering her own negatives. She can only win be increasing his his. He has to take off the gloves are start attacking her on her lies. That's the only way.

Do you think Hillary is behind every piece of bad news for the Obama campaign?

6. Not at all
But she is happy to twist the knife in the back of someone her own campaign admits is 90% likely to be the Democratic nominee with every single little bit of it.

Do you understand that is why so many are disgusted with her?

11. But he has to fight for the TRUTH. She's lying her ass off.
She knows he won't attack her. He needs to.

14. No, he doesn't. He can speak the truth without dredging up muck
He can be positive without tearing her apart for being a lying death merchant.

5. He is just playing defense. He can not lose occording to the math.
No reason for him to go negative and risk his negatives getting near her level.
He just needs to play it cool while the MSM tries to pretend Hillary has a chance.

9. Unless...
he's preparing for the GE and knows there is no reason to attack HRC, that attacking is not going to make a difference. This is the attitude of someone thinking in the long term, someone getting ready for the fight with McCain. Didn't he say something about attacking only when it was really necessary. Attacking HRC is probably not necessary for Obama right now.

10. Obama is in a difficult position...
He can not attack as Clinton has done, he must stay on the high road. Obama has to court these voters once the nomination has been sealed. Plus he can not have the perception of attacking a white elderly woman...he will lose. Obama's hands are pretty much tied for right now. He has to stay on the issues.

12. I like the class act that Obama is, in the end he is going to shine unlike HRC
who by her own hand has become extremely ugly to many, many people.

He must stay on message but move on can do as they wish. We need to work with them on some kind of project or develop our own.
