Advice For Obama

Seeing Tougher Race, Allies Ask Obama to Make ‘Hope’ Specific - NYTimes.com: "...Or, in the blunter words of Gov. Phil Bredesen, Democrat of Tennessee: “Instead of giving big speeches at big stadiums, he needs to give straight-up 10-word answers to people at Wal-Mart about how he would improve their lives...”"

I heard Nixon answer a question once upon a time about the "Cambodian incursion." He talked for nearly thirty minutes without interruption from the reporter, and at the end of his answer, the three of us sitting in the living room all said, "Whaaat?" Obama seems to do that every time he is asked a question. It's not an endearing quality. (This could be what I heard from Nixon-- it was a long time ago.)
