I thought that this article, which showed up on the Scoop website recently, presented quite an astute, thought provoking and humerous look at the current communications efforts of Senator Obama.
Freelance writer and public relations consultant, Sherwood Ross, believes that, rather than attacking Hillary Clinton, Obama's campaign would benefit much from him turning his attentions to the man currently in charge, George Bush. As Ross declares:
'How much better off Obama would be to turn the media spotlight on a detested president! He's got a fantastic educational opportunity if he exploits it. For example, he might issue a new white paper on Bush wrongdoing each day for the rest of the campaign.'
Ross suggests a few press conference ideas such as 'presenting a detailed white paper about the scores of horrific violations of the U.S. Constitution of which Bush is guilty' and 'exposing the illegalities of extraordinary rendition, the dragnet arrests across the Middle East, and how thousands are being held without due process.'
So, what would you suggest if you were Obama's public relations advisor? Would you have your sights set on Clinton or Bush? Or would you take an entirely different approach? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Not sure if a stream of negative sentiments toward the current president would win the crowds.
A large portion of US voters support Bush, concur with the hardcore, conservative, republican beliefs, and many still crack the old whips in Washington.
