Okay so the title maybe a little misleading but please follow along if you dare. I like many on DKOS are obviously losing our patience with our President and Our Party. I for one have stated several times in comments that if I don't see the fight in this lame duck session that my party has lost me. For me it is no longer ( at least for this brief moment) about the Progress it is about the spine and it is about THE PEOPLE who need to be fought for. This is where i call on Mr . Olbermann to man up even further than he does..follow me below the fold.
Yes maybe this should be directed at the President and to Congress rather than Keith. But I for one write my congressman weekly, as well as the White House ,and ofcourse there is no response ( i don't expect one). We the People are in trouble , we are hurting and we are looking for a Hero. It is obvious to this observer we are not going to get one of those that is a Public official. I knew when I voted for Obama and made calls for him that he was Jackie Robinson and not Mohammed Ali. I knew that he was only slightly left of center and that he would move closer to the middle upon election and there after. I was not wearing blinders like many ill informed or non educated voters. But now we the people and our country are at a tipping point economically and socially and we NEED or should I say Demand a Voice. I believe that voice needs to be Keith Olbermann.
Many might say Keith is already that voice and I agree he is a strong voice for Progressives. But now at this time that voice needs to be louder , more demanding and to call out the politicians. Last night on Countdown it became clearer than ever that Keith is at a tipping point with this administration. Up till now he has questioned but has always been respectfull as have I . During his interview with Bill Maher you could see the cracks in the armor. I for one think we are past the point of civility and I urge Keith to drop the facade of civility and respect and demand on a nightly basis that our voices are heard. Instead of bringing back Worlds Worst Person ( one of my favorites). I would like Keith to run a segment that could be titled " Really Mr.President" ( or just wake the Fuck up). Maybe I ask too much of Keith as this is not his job and who am I to ask for such a thing? But it is getting late in the game and the Fat Lady is warming up her pipes and it is our time to turn the corner and I believe he if anyone can help us. Thanks for the opportunity to rant today my wife will be happy tonight that she does not get the brunt of my frustration. Cheers!
