Perfectly Said:
“Hello Mr. President, here’s how you FIX this SHIT”:
Tell the story of how we got in this mess or you’ll own it.
Tell a coherent story about deficit spending.
Re-brand government because there’s only one story out there now (Reagan’s), and it’s not one that supports a progressive agenda.
Never let attacks go unanswered, because doing so only emboldens your opposition and leads the public to believe that you have no answers to them. [hereafter to be named, "Kerry's Swiftboat Folly"]
And if you throw a bipartisan party and no one comes, don’t throw another one.
Beautiful.
But Nope, He won’t do it…
…but at least we know what could have worked…
And so– C’est La vie any Dem majorities in Congress, come Nov ’10…
…& then c’est la vie anything other than:
more tax cuts for the rich
more cuts to Social Security
more ‘incentives’ to Big Healthcare, Big Oil, Big Pharma, -&-
more unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcies, & despair
The only bright spot?
If/when the “Tea Party” candidates ‘take over’ Congress, and all of this economic dysfunction accelerates, maybe all that ‘populist anger’ will be directed less towards ‘Birth Certificates’ & more towards “Jobs Now!!!”
Sheeeit.
