Obama Needs To Fight The Fear
Sat, 09-27-2008 - 1:25am
Obama needs to turn from rhetoric intended to scare the country to death. Americans are scared, but we've all had an ear full of how frickin' endangered we are. We're sick of conservative fear; move us forward. It's time for Obama to tell the country the truth. And the truth is, America can tackle the financial crisis. America can make diplomacy work and find intelligent solutions for the world's geopolitical problems. If Obama can reassure Americans and articulate a moderate way forward, then he'll win this election. He needs to make the connection with Americans that we can prevail over the fear and the hole we're in. We've put robots on Mars; surely, we can fix our financial house and restore sanity to our political process.
