This really isn't a diary but....
I can't tell you how long I have been waiting to pull that back out.
IT WORKED!!!!!
President Obama's advisers acknowledged Tuesday that they were unprepared for the intraparty rift that occurred over the fate of a proposed public health insurance program, a firestorm that has left the White House searching for a way to reclaim the initiative on the president's top legislative priority.
Administration officials insisted that they have not shied away from their support for a public option to compete with private insurance companies, an idea they said Obama would still prefer to see in a final bill.
Mr. President. WE.ARE.WITH.YOU.
Provide us with the marching orders, and we are ready to execute.
To Democrats in Congress:
After seeing the latest results of the Research 2000 and NBC polls showing large numbers of people, and majorities in some instance, as well as vast majorities of Republicans continue to believe the myths espoused by Republican leadership and FOX viewers, the path is clear.
There is one and only one way to convince these groups that they are being misled by the people they look up to and that Democrats are not liars.
PASS A ROBUST HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL AND WATCH AS NONE OF THEIR PREDICTIONS COME TRUE!!!
That is it. There is no out. There is no messaging that can defeat FOX and right wing radio. We have to ruin their credibility.
Progressives have to prove that they can govern.
Just.Do.It.
So I ask that we all agree...no more defeatist talk, no more Obamabot talk, no more whiner talk, no more let's primary Obama talk, no more I know politics better than you talk. It is time to put the words aside and let's take action. Let's get back to where we were last August. We can do this.
This is our chance to deliver folks. We made so much noise, the WH had to respond. Well, be careful what you wish for. We will not get another chance. If we don't step up now, the White House will have every right in the world to ignore us until the end of their term.
I am sure slinkerwink and nyceve will posts diaries tomorrow asking for action. I would say that their is no more important day to show our support for Democrats. They need their left flank to be heavily covered. It is GO TIME PEOPLE!!!
Remember what our President told us...
Ladies and Gentlemen...All hands on deck.
YES.WE.CAN!!!!!!!!!!
