My username is HoustonObamacan. I was a poster here during the 2008 primaries. I knew Obama would be great for this country. And I was right, he was. But he only has two moves left in his playbook.
Option 1. Become a fighter. Channel any inner spirit of the '08 campaign he has left this December/January and beat down the Republicans with the force of an angry God. No surrender, no retreat. The tax cuts will NOT be compromised, extended, delayed or finesed, there will be victory, a clear strong victory, the kind that the moron who preceded Obama won against the Democrats all the time.
Option 2. Admit that he doesn't have it in him.
Which brings me to the subject of this diary.
She should resign as Secretary of State in the next few weeks. This will give her time to round up quiet support for a media blitz with all the old names and faces against the GOP in January, just after they take power, and just after the President announces he will not be seeking a second term. The media cycle, along with all of the Republican momentum, will be thrown into total chaos. And we will have a fighter leading us again.
For the good of the country, Barack, please choose one of these options very quickly.
