What Obama's Next Move(s) Should Be

Once Obama gets back from his trip overseas, I think he should do two things. First, he should personally talk about nothing but the economy for the next several weeks or so. Second, while he's addressing economic issues, his campaign should launch a vicious series of attack ads on John McCain, and the attacks should focus solely on foreign policy.

This is because McCain is a fucking idiot when it comes to foreign policy and all the gaffes he has committed recently in that regard really need to be shoved up him sideways. Just the other day in an interview with CBS, McCain made such an incredibly idiotic and historically wrong statement about recent events in Iraq that CBS actually had to cover it up.

And during that same interview, McCain actually said that the War in Iraq was "the first major conflict since 9-11," forgetting, of course, about Afghanistan (and once again, CBS covered up for him).

Do I think that McCain actually believes that the war in Iraq started before the war in Afghanistan? No, but the fact that McCain forgot about Afghanistan simply demonstrates how little the GOP actually thinks about that particular country, and that is why Afghanistan is such a huge mess right now. McCain's gaffe is symbolic of the GOP's general struggle against reality.

The Obama campaign must take full advantage of this, not only because the Corporate Media appear to be actively covering up for McCain, but because McCain is clearly pissed off at Obama right now for having the nerve to take an overseas trip (even though McCain repeatedly attacked Obama for not going to Iraq enough) and I think that is why McCain is making all these mistakes.

He's letting his anger get the best of him. The goal of Obama's campaign should therefore be to keep McCain angry at Obama, and the best way to do that would be to saturate the swing states with ads which crucify McCain on all of his recent misstatements.

McCain's gaffes are certainly fair game, particularly given that McCain basically called Obama a traitor the other day. Take the gloves off, Barack.
