Obama is taking the fight to Hillary now.

"I know it is tempting — after another presidency by a man named George Bush — to simply turn back the clock, and to build a bridge back to the 20th century," the Illinois senator said in Denver.

"... It's not enough to say you'll be ready from Day One — you have to be right from Day One," he added in unmistakable criticisms of Clinton, who often claims she's better prepared to govern, and her husband, who pledged during his own presidency to build a bridge to the 21st century.

Barack needs to be very careful with how he confronts Hillary. The whole point of the Clinton two-pronged attack was to pull Obama away from his game and make him fight the way they want to fight.

Obama needs to raise the level of discourse back up to the talk of hope and change, and less about how bad Hillary would be for the county.

After all, I and others will be happy to do that while Barack keeps himself above the fray which is really where he is the most effective.

Attacking is not the only way to win. Inspiring is far more effective.
