Obama needs a good political judo move.

IMO, the only way to beat the Clintons is to out-Clinton them. That means going on the offensive and staying on the offensive. When you're forced to continually respond to their attacks, it takes you off message and gives them the upper hand.

There hasn't been anyone they've faced who's really wanted to get down in the mud with them, but it's the only way.

This doesn't mean telling lies about them. All you have to do is tell the truth relentlessly and there's a lot of undisputed truth out there.

Now if you do that, the Clintons will immediately respond with "no attack ever fed a starving child" and "we don't need to go back to the politics of personal destruction", blah, blah. But those are defensive responses.

It's Obama's only chance, IMO.

I forgot about that... I would love to see Obama say that in a debate and have Hillary’s reaction on You Tube.

Another thing I would like to see is a continuation of Slick Willy blowing his temper in public.

I don't know about that. Tall order.
