Obrama Leadership

OBRAMA SUGGESTIONS

These suggestions are offered to more fully capitalize on your strengths.

1)I think you want to be recognized as a LEADER WITH VISION. A leader who is in front of the curve to see opportunities to be taken and dangers to be avoided or deflected rather than one who is always “locking the barn door”,

One of the best ways to do this is to cite your warnings on vital issues. This is much more effective if you do this as a package rather than interspersed with discussions on issues.

a) Your warning on Iraq. A brief quotation from your speech. Then hit hard what you said would happen—HAPPENED.

b) Your warning on sub-prime mortgages.. A brief quotation. Then
hit hard what you said would happened—HAPPENED.

c) Your warning on global warming. A brief quotation. Then hit hard
what you said would happened is happening.

d) Another example is fine but not necessary.

Always tie McCain to Geo Bush. i.e. They are trying to give you a hard time about your willingness to meet with foreign dictators. You have a wonderful ally whose name you have never mentioned and I can’t understand why. His name is Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe in WW II and two term republican president. This is a name respected even in republican circles

When gen-Pres Eisenhower was running for President in 1952 the US was fighting a war in N. Korea. Gen Eisenhower said that if elected he would go to N. Korea to try and stop the fighting. I only remember the first few words of his statement but it began “If I can save the life of one American” and it continued with the thought his effort would be worth while. This line is a showstopper.

Gen Eisenhower was elected and he did go to Korea. There was no prior negotiations or agreements arranged. He was unable to stop the fighting.

But the important thought, which I think won him the election, was that here was a candidate that would speak to anyone, travel anywhere, make every possible effort to save American lives. They say lightning never strikes twice but it might be worth a try.

Then ask Senator McCain why he and George Bush are unwilling to make the same effort that Dwight Eisenhower made?
