Does Obama have a secret advisor?

Is Karl Rove advising Barack Obama? For someone who is trying to pass himself off as something fresh he is beginning to have the odor of something very old.

• He made the Republican issue of Social Security an issue in the Democratic primary
• He took Robert Novak's bait and ran with it
• And now he is using very old Republican dirt

Sorry Mr Obama, you are far from anything fresh but you have apparently been paying attention to Rovian politics. Or perhaps you are just stupid. Either way you are not presidential material.
