I cant find a youtube clip of it but yesterday on Hardball, Willie Brown was saying that alot of democrats are worried with Obama as of late.
he went on to explain that in the primaries, Obama was dynamic and showing us what he was bringing to the game. Brown stated that Obama has been less exciting and needed to keep the excitment coming..
This was one of those moments I found myself talking loudly to the television, hoping Brown could hear me.
For one, in the primaries, every event that Obama spoke at, was televised.
For this reason we were all inspired on a daily basis. Toward the end of the primaries, I dont know if you noticed, but Obama kinda slowed down the public attention. It appeared as if he was more focused on winning then being heard speaking. Less distractions.
Once the nomination was won..
Obama was in the news for FISA
Obama was in the news for Iraq
Obama was in the news for Funding Churches
Then it wasnt until Obama was in Germany, that we really heard an entire Obama speech again. Of course, once it was over, the GOP downplayed the glory of it all, as if it wasnt a remarkable thing that Obama could draw such a crowd in another country..and have the Germans waving the American flag...
So McCain played this "he's too popular..like Paris Hilton" game.
This was a ploy to distract us from the positivity Obama brought in the intl view of the United States.
Now once in a while the news will play a snippet of an Obama speech at a townhall, if the information is something news worthy..like a hard hit at McCain.
Is it just me or does Willie Brown need to stfu? Not only is he basing dem fears on expectations of the unnecessary "excitement factor"..but he is also disregarding that Obama has been campaigning since 2007. He excited the voters thru out the primaries and won. Now its time to defeat the repubs.
Now I understand, some dems think Obama needs to hit harder, and thats is more understandable to me...but are they really gonna vote for McCain based on technique or policies?
Does brown just need to see some drama? Is it like the primaries got them addicted to the excitement of all the bullshit that went down?!! This aint the NBA playoffs!
I dont know, Brown just erked me with his "Obama needs to"...cause that was some irrelevant shit..and of all people to say something like that...that shouldnt even be comin out his mouth. Willie Brown, how bout you do something exciting!
Then if you wanna take it to a whole nuther level...Willie Brown is one of the black politicians that doesnt really utilize his power..but instead is depending on Mr Obama to deliver...?
Not to downplay on any of Brown's successes..but Barack Obama has been the only man (and black man) to deliver the amount of excitement in people as he has done in this election.
So until Brown can meet or beat that, I feel like he should tone it down some and let Obama do his thing and WIN!
If you dont like how its being done, then help do it better...right?
Willie Brown GOTV!
