Like hundreds of thousands of other progressives, I know better than Barack Obama when it comes to politics, messaging and the business of governing.
And I am excessively frustrated by the fact that Obama won't simply listen to me, and follow my instructions!
If Obama would simply follow my advice the banking sector would be under complete control right now.
If Obama would just read my comments diaries and favorite blogs, unemployment would be at 5%, the foreclosure crisis would be over, and the Dems would have GAINED seats in the midterm elections.
But, alas, Obama refuses to listen to me. He declines all help. If I'm not available, Obama could always consult with any of my favorite bloggers or MSNBC hosts. They'll set him straight. (that is, if I'm not around, or in the middle of a Team Deathmatch on Modern Warfare 2)
Yes, the answers and knowledge that would lead to the permanent repeal of DADT, DOMA, and full marriage rights are right at Obama's fingertips! All he has to do is read my diary of October 13th 2010! I made it pretty clear how he should use the Bully-Pulpit.
Maybe Barack Obama doesn't know about the Bully-Pulpit. I DO! I have seen "The American President" 13 times, and even own it on Blu-Ray. He could borrow my copy if he wanted!
I don't know how bad Obama will let things get in this country before be starts listening to me and/or my friends.
Elected office, you ask? No. Neither me or my favorite bloggers have never so much as run for dog-catcher! But that doesn't mean we didn't know how to negotiate in the halls of Congress to successfully win support for a Public Option! Obama didn't listen to me. Now there's no Public Option!
I even told Obama to disinvite Rick Warren from speaking at his inauguration. Again, Obama went his own way. That cost him 3 House Seats right there!
President Obama...if you're reading this, please listen to me! The country is depending on it! (And if I'm not available please just check the Rec list. You'll find the help you need!)
