My recent comments have all professed the suggestion that it is too early subsequent to Obama's economic policies being implemented to start jumping all over him. In general, I do not think it is going to help us become victorious in 2010 if Conservative media bangs on him every day and continuously as if we were hitting him with a Hindu chant. We should all be a bit more discriminating in what we say about him and when we say it. He has some good days too. The reason I say this seemingly awful stuff is that sure, Obama's numbers are dropping but if you analyze the new electorate on a pie chart, the Republicans cannot win in future elections without the support of moderates, independents, and a fast growing group, Hispanics. The latter is a voting block that judging from what happened with George Bush, we can capture as our voters. All of the individuals in this group of three have a common view of politicians and moderators spewing venom at a fast clip, they do not like it and keep characterizing it as "politics as usual" It's a turn off we cannot afford to have happening. Anyway, things in general are horrible now both domestically and globally while I get to hear a Jan Murray wannabee the other night as a frigate knifed through the Pacific carrying the hint of harmful freight dedicated to the destruction of our beloved citizens. So most of America is already pretty angry and impatient now, I would temper down the strategy we used in 2008 and be more strategic, shoot where the ducks are and remember something chilling for our party. Obama is still a very brilliant and educated politician, you do not want to completely disavow him in June when by the Fall things go his way and all our cares and woes could conceivably improve. I compare it to having a prodigal son in your house who never contributes anything of value. You yell at him to get off his duff and get a job and 8 months later he joins the Trump Organization. Old saying: "Don't Yell Unless You Have To".
