I hope that Barack Obama is and will follow this sage advice, as the true opponent right now, first and foremost, is Hillary Clinton and her surrogates. They have shown every step of the way, that they will fight hard and dirty and they only play to win. Nothing about this campaign, has ever been able to be taken for granted. It has been close all along, and everything, including the kitchen sink, has been thrown at Obama to try and get him off his game. He has done amazingly well holding up against it all, and I believe strongly that he will continue to do so. However, you are correct in your assertion that Obama must keep focused on the battle he is currently still waging, before he moves fully onto the next. That time WILL come, but first there is business to be taken care of, and certainly Clintons can never, ever be underestimated. One never knows what they will pull out of their collective hats next. Here are to some positive surprises in the upcoming races, starting this Tuesday, with West Virgina! Let's prove those polls wrong and make something happen. We did it in North Carolina and Indiana recently, and we will do it again. Come on let's GO! OBAMA 2008 & 2012 Right on the money John,

You have to move in on your opponent when they are in a position of weakness. After Pennsylvania, didn't Hillary hammer Obama about Rev. Wright again, his relationship to Ayers, his comments about voters who were bitter, and despite throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at him she narrowly won a razor thin victory in Indiana and got walloped in North Carolina. Now she is down, June is around the corner and the super delegates are making overtures to him...this is the moment when he has to appear "presidential." Barack is great at reading the winds of change. Barack is an excellent strategist and has put together a campaign that will go down in the history books. They will be studying this campaign in Political Science classes at Harvard, Yale, Wharton and everywhere students of politics can learn how a campaign should be run. This is not the time for Obama to be shy. There is a saying in sales and marketing when you "assume the sale." He is gracious enough to acknowledge that she is still in the race, but this is the time for him to gain as many super delegates as he can. She can do nothing at this point to catch up to him. He will not win West Virginia and quite frankly there are not that many delegates tied to that May 13 primary. I disagree with this warning to Obama. Hillary is not the Phoenix rising from the ashes. She is trying to raise the money to pay herself back her $11 million, carve out a position for herself in a future administration, and decide on her role in helping bring the party together.

When you project an inkling of fear you bring that fear to you. It is the same as smelling the Rose when you project Positivity on that rat that Rat starts smelling YOUR ROSE. The Old Regimen is dying AND fading, still some shadows will remain, but Light always overtake shadows. Your thoughts should never be negative and thrown out there as a seed to can cause fear amount others. Barack's campaign did not get behind him because he was naive, they got behind him because of the Truth that he stands for and Truth Always Prevail. I do not see him sitting by idly he is continueously going and campaigning. He has said it various times "I take nothing for granted" Therefore if the others have negativity in their hearts to Try and Plot, remember negativity will return to you and bring a spiral of others with it.That is the way of it.

If Senator Obama is called of God and I believe that his calling is of God at this time, anyone that come against him will find themselves fighting against God not Senator Obama.

Senator Obama needs to work just as hard for the up coming states as he did for the ones that he won and lost. They want to see him slow down and not fight as hard so that his numbers will drop. I am so glad that you wrote this passage, for he is in danger of people trying to take it from him. He cannot afford to assume anything at this point except to campaign even harder. His job is not over until every state has voted. I think that we all should express our concerns to him. This is serious and I smell a rat...Plus a bad feeling that he is being set up. He is still running against HRC at present and she has an agenda, to become President. I am so glad that someone thinks like I do. No matter what the people in power tell him, he needs to concentrate on Hillary, Bill, Chesley, the Gop, and all those that wished to be president. He needs to stay focused and always keep one eye open, for there are people around him that are not well wishers. Thanks again for getting this out to everyone. Dorothy John,

We as Obama supporters need to continue to canvass and make calls in WV and Kentucky. It does make a difference so once he gets there, he can narrow the margins. Please stay focused Obama supporters. Keep your eye on the prize and don't get distracted. I agree that the Clintons will never be done. We as Obama supporters need to continue to canvass and make calls in WV and Kentucky.

For instance, Al Gore is not really much of a Clinton fan anymore because of the way the Lewinsky affair was handled and how the Clintons left the White House. He has been focused on environmental issues for the most part. Also the other politicians who are endorsing Barack (even leaving Clinton for Barack) are endorsing him for many strong and important reasons. They know that they don't owe the Clintons anything. Also there is the math. Even though the Supers can bring her over the finish line before him that would be a fatal move for the Democratic party. That would spit this party in half and you can guarantee that McCain will win in the fall. The supers aren't going to do that. Also Claire McCaskill said that she has great confidence that the majority of the supers are with Barack Obama. I think that your argument could be correct in theory but the chances of it happening are very slim as it sort of sounds a little bit like a conspiracy theory. Whatever the case, I think it is wise for Barack to campaign and campaign hard in all of the remaining states including West Virginia and Kentucky. I hope that he doesn't think that they are lost and lost with huge margins. He needs to campaign as though he can win, or at least bring the margins down considerably. That's the bottom line regarding what he needs to do. He definitely needs to work harder than ever right now.

It is true, that those who haven't endorsed Barack, is because they want more for themselves. That's politics. This is a great letter and I hope he heeds it. My only question, why did you send it to Hillary? Thanks, Charmaine, Greenlawn, NY John,
