Obama Sets Sights on McCain, Ignores Clinton
abcnews.go.com — After months of battling Hillary Clinton and rarely engaging presumptive Republican nominee John McCain directly, Democratic frontrunner Barack Obama has seemed to stop running against his primary opponent and has focused on the Arizona senator. Obama's new focus came as he overtook Clinton in superdelegates 272 to 267.

It's not math anymore, with Hillary, it's psychodrama. If she can't have it, no one can have it.
But complete silence from Sen. Obama at the public level is probably prudent. A very wise man, Bill Wilson, once wrote about appropriate responses when coming under unjustified sharp public attack "Almost without exception it can be confidently estimated that our best defense in these situations would be no defense whatever - namely, complete silence at the public level. Unreasonable people are all the more stimulated by opposition. If in good humor we leave them strictly alone, they are apt to subside the more quickly (you don't know Hill, Bill). If their attacks persists and it is plain they are misinformed, it may be wise to communicate with them in a temperate and informative way; also in such a manner that they cannot use our communication as a springboard for fresh assault... Such communications should be purely informative, and should never question the motives of the attackers."
To a large extent, Sen. Obama has followed this principled spirit of communication and discourse. One of the most refreshing aspects of his candidacy is that he tells the truth quickly and openly, gives the information that he believes to be true promptly and to the best of this ability, without excoriating or castigating his opponent. His practice of rigorous honesty, unconditional kindness (kindness is always within our power, even if fondness is not) and "restraint" is a quality of great leadership, and the character of a great man. - jbdobd, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1who?_llary?
