Will Obama take Newt’s good advice, and the deadly dilemma that he faces either way? On one hand, the average person out there only listens to occasional sound bites, so really wouldn’t pay a lot of attention to other than those sound bites. On the other hand, (hopefully) the majority of Americans are looking for specific proposals and ways to achieve them. I agree with Nadine….he won’t get specific….

Obama’s campaign has been well thought through. But is he working on the Dem Reps and Senators as well, at the same time? Will they have a majority of both House and Senate?

The biggest question is: What about the Repubs…? We can now expect that the Obama campaign will continue a campaign that has lots of generalities and sound bites, and the average guy public appeal…WHAT are the Republicans going to do?

Are we going to roll over and let Obama have this four years on purpose?

Newt: “One final caveat: after four years as Speaker, the one lesson I learned is that the problem with being specific and real is that you become specific and real. Your opposition has new ammo—or, if you pick good enough changes, the Republicans might even decide to deliver on them in September, and the president might be willing to sign them. Then you will have delivered change, but probably not in the manner you had intended.”
