Carville: Panic!
2011-09-17 - by
James Carville has a way of cutting to the chase. A TAPster sent along what he said on CNN this week:
“People often ask me what advice I would give the White House about various things. Today I was mulling over election results from New York and Nevada while thinking about that very question. What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic.”
Specifically, Carville called on President Obama to fire much of his economic and political team, indict some Wall Street crooks and – as you might expect from the man who wrote on the wall of the 1992 Clinton war room “It’s the Economy, Stupid” – get a message and stick to it. Read his essay here.
He concluded:
“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.
“The course we are on is not working. The hour is late, and the need is great. Fire. Indict. Fight.”
