After thinking about the recent special elections, and the situation of our country, James Carville asks, What should the White House do? Panic! In urgent overtones Carville says"
(CNN) -- What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic. ...
The time has come to demand a plan of action that requires a complete change from the direction you are headed. ...
1. Fire somebody. No -- fire a lot of people. This may be news to you but this is not going well. ... Mr. President, your hinge of fate must turn. Bill Clinton fired many people in 1994 and took a lot of heat for it. Reagan fired most of his campaign staff in 1980. Republicans historically fired their own speaker, Newt Gingrich.
2. Indict people. There are certain people in American finance who haven't been held responsible for utterly ruining the economic fabric of our country. Demand from the attorney general a clear status of the state of investigation concerning these extraordinary injustices imposed upon the American people.
Wolfe Blitzer asked Carville to provide names of those that might be fired, suggested Geinther, but Carvill waived off naming names, saying the overall message of acknowledging things are not working and changing directions is more important than the specific people that go.
"Somebody did something wrong here!" says James Carvill. Watch the movie, "Inside Job." Look at the havac that has been wrecked in this country, it's unbelievable."
Mr. President, people are livid. Tell people that you, too, are angry and sickened by the irresponsible actions on Wall Street that caused so much suffering. Do not accept excuses. Demand action now.
3. Make a case like a Democrat. While we are going along with the Republican austerity garbage, who is making the case against it? It's not the Democrats! ...
As I watch the Republican debates, I realize that we are on the brink of a crazy person running our nation. I sit in front of the television and shudder at the thought of one of these creationism-loving, global-warming-denying, immigration-bashing, Social-Security-cutting, clean-air-hating, mortality-fascinated, Wall-Street-protecting Republicans running my country.
I approve of James Carville's fighting spirit and like many here, have been calling for it since day 1, of this administration, years ago. Finally, the mainstream Party folks are catching up.
Let's hope President Obama and his administration listens.
Like Carville, the prospect of one of these crazy Republicans running our country makes me shudder and ill.
