Destroying an Image
Clinton chooses to destroy the uplifting message of hope for change. Every claim she makes is false and aimed at destroying our hope.
There is a positive way to counteract her false attacks.
Mr. Obama needs to do another debate where he defines the message (offensive position).
The false “bitter” comment can be countered offensively. The Republicans have ruled for eight years and they are the ones who have “clung” to the issues of guns, religion, and stereotypes as a way of neglecting the needs of the people. Their politics is filled with issues to divide us (conflicts over gun usage, defining our citizens as black versus white, latino versus non-latino, gay versus straight, religious versus atheist, etc. – using labels to destroy our uniqueness and commonality as human beings and pivot us against each other). This allows them to stay away from necessary solutions for the economic plight of our citizens as well as a resolution for the Iraq war. Mr. Obama was showing compassion for our electorate by promising to put their needs above these false efforts and stereotypes. Of course the win at any cost strategy has driven his opponents to invert Mr. Obama’s meaning and reverse it’s argument. They are bent on inflicting the Anti-Obama IMAGE on Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama, please show your beliefs and character strongly by telling your opponents forcefully that YOU ARE GOING TO PUT A STOP TO THIS GAME BECAUSE IT MUST END or our citizens will continue to suffer since their needs will never be addressed. This is your fight and you must be indignant and angry at their contortion of your meaning and their refusal to help our citizens. Your message can still be uplifting but it must be strong at the same time to show your conviction and confidence in your own beliefs. This message does not participate in character assassination but it reflects a strong man with a determined purpose.
I am convinced that this will convey Mr. Obama’s message in terms that our citizens will understand so they will know when the “spin” rears it’s ugly head and reject it outright.
