Not Bush = Not Enough
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 byThe Obama Honeymoon is over. The Nobel Committee didn’t do him any favors by giving him a ‘Peace Prize’ for doing nothing other than not being Bush, because it reminded us that Obama hasn’t really done much of anything at all! Seems to be the theme now on even Administration-friendly shows like The Daily Show and Rachel Maddow.
Seriously Mr. President, our party controls the White House, Congress, and the Repug party is in complete disarray. The Wing-Nut Media and Repugs are sniping at each other.
What more do you fucking need to get off your ass? It’s great that you aren’t Bush, don’t get me wrong, but the winning strategy here is a full frontal assault on all issues. Don’t back off things because you are ‘too busy with Healthcare,’ now is the time to hit the Reactionaries with everything you’ve got, so they stay on the defensive.
And don’t put forth milquetoast proposals, go for Socialism, then let the Yellow Dogs whittle it back to something reasonable, rather than starting with reasonable and ending up with squat.
As things are going, I bet we’ll lose seats in Congress and who knows what might happen in the Senate? Unless you take some action, you may end up like Carter – a guy who did more after he left his one term in office then he did during his term. But at least you’ll get your Peace Prize in advance!
