The media have bought into the Rethug line on the stimulus bill, The rethugs are extracting favors like Senate picks when they should be groveling for forgiveness for the past 8 years.
The perception is Obama is faltering. The Rethugs, villagers, and establishment Washington want to "Take Him Down a Peg."
Well, he is the President, and here's how he can win, and get this stimulus bill wrapped and shut the critics up.
I respectfully suggest that the President co-op 5 minutes at the beginning of the evening news. Tonight. Every channel, even cable.
Just take 5 minutes, and use a power point to show us how the bill will help. Say directly who is holding up the train (republican bastards) and a specific example of how this is hurting America. That they are hurting your family to make a political point.
At the end, ask for our help and flash the switchboard number to congress. Tell us to call in the morning at 9 AM and ask our congress critter/senator to put America first and support the stim bill now!
We need an FDR moment here. Simple. Direct. Bypasses the Broder/Scarborough/Will/Dowd/ crowd.
BTW, when I have called the white house switchboard (202-456-1414) to suggest this, I have asked to be connected to:
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel
Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina
Deputy Chief of Staff Mona Sutphen
Senior Adviser David Axelrod
Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett
Senior Adviser Pete Rouse
I was always put moved to general comments. Can anyone pass this message on from a regular guy?
