Dick Morris in a panic. Now giving Obama strategic advice via Drudge

The Clintons' campaign attacks put Obama in a bind.

If he doesn't answer in kind, he's toast.

But if he does, they'll have forced him off his winning message of hope and change from the bitter politics of the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush eras.

If they pull him off his game and onto theirs, they can wrest away the Democratic convention victory that he's earned.

The solution for Obama is clear: Reply in kind, but do it through surrogates.

Obama must answer Hillary's negative attacks and make counterpunches of his own to rock her back on her heels.

His holier-than-thou posture is fine for the opening stages of a campaign, but when your opponent starts throwing mud, you've got to answer.

1. All Obama has to do is ignore Morris.

Why should Obama acknowledge and give creds to Dick Morris?

EDIT: Rewrote the sentence so it made sense.

Hawkeye-X

[rug]

2. He's waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[CyberPieHole]

23. What "shoe"?

I'm not trying to be obtuse...but I don't know what you are referring to.

[ruggerson]

3. What is fascinating to me is that only a few Obama supporters are bothered by the fact that

the worst scum of the earth, people like Matt Drudge and Dick Morris, are actively rooting for Obama to win and, in the case of Drudge, have been trying to manipulate the daily news cycle for months in favor of Obama.

Doesn't this tell you something?

[Pirate Smile]

6. Dick Morris worked for the Clintons, not Obama. What does that say about them?

[CyberPieHole]

9. Obama worked for Antoin Rezko...what does that say about HIM?

[mattclearing]

24. Bill worked with George Herbert Walker Bush.

And he gave away the radio spectrum to Clear Channel. Got any more smart-ass remarks?

[jbnow]

32. Do you believe that? You never checked?

The Rezko/Obama link was investigated a long time ago when Rezko came under official investigation.
He never worked for Rezko, ever. He did do some hours of work indirectly about 15 years ago, more than a decade before Rezko was even thought to be a "bad guy"
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=87865558

Obama's firm did legal work for some of Rezko's development companies. Obama himself billed five hours for work on behalf of one of Rezko's nonprofit partners in an inner-city redevelopment project.

It's dumb that this is being used and ever brought up as some unfolding scandal. Not just is there no evidence of any wrongdoing by Obama, there aren't even allegations, no hint of wrong doing was found.
It's just implied by some to make it sound dark and nefarious Rezko has done things wrong, Rezkp is on trial. That's not Obama.
It's as stupid as trying to implicate Clinton for every crime or wrong doing on the part of her donors like Norman Hsu whose money she had to return

I wish people would stick to the truth whoever they support.

7. What does Rush and Ann Coulter supporting Hillary tell you about her?

[ruggerson]

10. Neither of them want Hillary to win

Rush just wants to bloody the Democratic field. They want to create chaos.

[Quixote1818]

8. It tells me that Hillary will motivate the Republican base in a way that will move mountains

Sorry but I don't want to take any chances on that shit.

[CyberPieHole]

14. Like Mohammad and His mountain?

[DJ13]

12. Rush Limbaugh is actively supporting Hillary

And you're bitching about Obama getting unsolicited advice from Dick Morris?!
:rofl:

[provis99]

13. Scum support Obama?

Good thing Clinton hasn't been endorsed by any right wing crazies, like Michael Savage, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, or Rush Limbaugh. Oh, wait...

[Pirate Smile]

4. Dick Morris isn't Obama's problem. He never thought enough of the slimeball to employ and pay him.

I wonder if he feels pride in his protege, Mark Penn.

[CyberPieHole]

11. Antoin Rezko is Obama's problem. Obama worked for the Syrian Slumlord.

I wonder what else they may have in common?

[yourout]

15. What are you?....a broken record.....Rezko, Rezko, Rezko, Rezko, Rezko,

Enough already.

[CyberPieHole]

19. Get used to it. You will be hearing and reading more on Rezko/Obama...

You don't like it? Tant pis.

[Benhurst]

25. Yeah, it's just like with poor old Charlie Manson. All he hears is

Sharon Tate! Sharon Tate! Sharon Tate!

Give the man a break!

[BumRushDaShow]

27. Hillary worked for Barry Goldwater.

She's justa justa Republican giiiirrrrrllll..... :eyes:

We'll be hearing more on her repuke background. Oh wait - everything she has done to date is like what the wingnuts do.

[JackORoses]

33. once again feces is running from your piehole

At one point Obama worked at a Law Firm that did 5 hrs of work on a Rezko case.
But Obama was never a fulltime employ of Rezko.

You must hate Arabs, huh?
You think calling a man Syrian is an insult?

[DJ13]

5. The solution for Obama is clear: Reply in kind, but do it through surrogates.

Morris is 100% right about Obama needing to use that time honored tradition of response to the smear campaign Hillary is waging.

[wileedog]

16. Obama just needs to hold serve at this point

Stay above it, defend against the outlandish stuff, and wait for time to run out on The Queen. She is going to start looking worse and worse as time goes by.

[DJ13]

20. Obama just needs to hold serve at this point

I used to think that way, but then I saw what happened in 2004 to the poll numbers for Kerry just as the GE was being held.

True, Obama will likely still be the nominee, but he also has to stop Clinton from damaging him for the GE.

That demands some form of response, and using surrogates outside the campaign itself will give him the needed plausible deniability to maintain his image as a person above the petty politics of dirty campaigning.

[CK_John]

17. Obama is more boxed in by the Rezko trial than Hillary. n/t

[Not the Only One]

18. There is nothing Hillary's attack machine can do about Obama's lead

Obama will have a 100+ lead in pledged delegates and no matter what poison she pours into the political waters, that will not change.

Obama needs to resist this urge and hold his fire. He can't get impatient and try to do something in an attempt to knock her out, because she refuses to quit the race except until after all the primaries and caucuses, so it would all be pointless for Obama.

Obama has the 4 aces. It doesn't matter how long this poker game goes. He has the winning hand to play. Obama can correct her every time she goes after him, but he can't fall into her trap. She needs for Obama to be corrupted, but that can only happen if Obama allows himself to be corrupted.

[CyberPieHole]

21. Obama has already been "corrupted". Take a look at his friend Antoin Rezko. n/t

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Hey Morris: Piss Off, Toe-Sucker.

:freak:

[bluedawg12]

31. hey little Dick, a whore stand you up on your date tonight?

Hey, you can find other ways to kill the 5 minutes you woud have spent with her if you went slow.

Being a premature ejaculator makes people tinchy, and bitchy and hissy- and you are that, you poor little tubby excuse for a man- IMHO.

The previous piece was protected speech as it was (political satire and a political OP)

Knock, knock, who's there?

Your date!

Bring her in.




muuuhhhhhhhaaaaaahhhhaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaawwwww---sputter---cough---

[Catherina]

26. The difference between fiction and fact in plain view for all to see

Bill Clinton on the Rush Limbaugh radio show pandering to the worst of America in a desperate attempt to get votes from the last demographic they're going after- uneducated White voters. That graphic if Clinton cockroaches next to the "Vote for Hillary" ad should have embarrassed Bill Clinton to no end. No pride and no integrity.

[niceypoo]

28. Apparently you dont keep a very close eye on what Obamas side says...

But then idolizing cults of personality has never resonated with the American psyche in any healthy way...

[dkf]

29. Dick Morris is Hillary's creation. She hired him for Bill.

[bluedawg12]

30. A clear case of penis envy on his part

neither of them have one- yet- she has bigger cajones compared to pencil- Dick -Dickey, the whore toe sucking fat trash bag.

[tishaLA]

34. But it's not like that is a novel idea

Hell, I've never sucked on a hooker's toes and I could have offered that advice. I don't see that Morris is offering anything anyone hasn't already thought of.
