Schumer’s Advice to Obama - Hit back harder
Trouble in Paradise?
As Aravosis says
Usually someone of Schumer’s stature goes public only after going private hasn’t worked.

“I would not be afraid to attack back,” Schumer, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said in an interview with Politico.
“I thought the Britney Spears commercial was powerful,” Schumer said, referring to McCain’s television ad casting Obama as a vapid “celebrity.”
“They’re trying to say, ‘He’s not one of us,’” Schumer said.
“I would answer back hard. What do you mean he’s not one of us? It’s John McCain who wears $500 shoes, has six houses and comes from one of the richest families in his state,” Schumer said. “It’s Barack Obama who climbed up the hard way, and that’s why he wants middle-class tax cuts and better schools for our kids.”
I’ve disagreed with Senator Schumer over a couple of things but as a fan of powerful retort - that last paragraph is pretty good and correct.
Obama needs to mention the Keating 5. I’m sick of Ben Stein talking about how great McCain’s character is everytime I flip past the cable news channels
