Dear Senator Obama (From Rove)

Important points:

Your lack of achievements undercuts your core themes. It's powerful when you say America is not "Red States or Blue States but the United States." The problem is, you don't have a long Senate record of working across party lines. So build one. In the coming months, say that you'll appoint Republicans to your cabinet and get a couple to say they'd serve. Highlight initiatives Republicans can agree on. Most importantly, push for a bipartisan issue now before Congress.

Your stump speech is sounding old and out of touch. You made a mistake by not giving the bored press (and voters) something new last Tuesday when you lost Pennsylvania. Come up with something fresh that's focused on the general election. Recapture the optimistic tone of your start and discard the weary, prickly and distracted tone you've taken on.

Rove is an evil man, but he knows what he's talking about.

1. Obama needs to come up with a few new lines

or at least talk about the issues.

7. Like when he buried Hillary on Social Security during the PA "debate"?

[leftofcool]

8. On his stump speeches

they are like a broken record and I never hear him talk about detailed issues.

[guyanakoolaid]

9. Detailed issues? Says a supporter of Clinton, who can't be more specific than "a future committee"

in her own plan :eyes:

2. ?

ROVE???? :puke:

[JimGinPA]

3. Fuck Rove...

Seriously.

[Kool Kitty]

4. Oh, goody!

I've been just dying to read what Mr. Rove has to say about one of our candidates.

5. omg... please, let's pray that he doesn't start taking advice from f*****g KARL ROVE!!!!

:puke:

Obama's out of touch?? He needs to worry about his own house.

6. They're just Hillary talking points.

I've been paying attention and haven't noticed any undue repetition or irritation from Obama. From Hillary, nothing but. The RNC operatives are coming out of the woodwork to prop up their pinata.

10. No!..he doesn't know what he's talking about!

he's full of shit as usual. The day Obama starts listening to rove is the day he turns into hilary and that ain't gonna happen.

Fuck rove and his pig buttinski nose.

[varelse]

11. Shouldn't Rove be busy

giving helpful advice to McCain? Or giving testimony in front of a Congressional committee, or something?

[Cali_Democrat]

12. Oh hell no

Essentially Rove is telling him to become a Republican. Screw that.
