A Wise Man's Advice For Some Thanksgiving Turkeys

While helping ZandarDad with the holiday bird this morning, we got to talking about politics, Obama, and what the President needs to do, as often happens whenever I come to North Carolina to visit the folks.

"And you can quote me on this in your blog," he said.  "What Obama needs to do is be true to himself and just be a liberal.  If Clinton hadn't screwed around with Monica Lewinski, he would have gone down as one of the best President we've ever had because at least he was true to himself, he was a moderate and governed like one."

"I'd argue that Clinton was being true to himself when he fooled around, Pop," I answered.  "They were going to attack Obama as a liberal no matter what he did."

So with his hands in the giblets, he says, "Well, if Obama was true to himself and was a liberal, and acted like it, he'd get a lot more done.  He should have done that in the first place, he would have been better off.  He needs to to say to the Republicans 'OK, I tried it your way, you refused to work with me, so if you thought I was a liberal before, you're going to be really sorry now and you're going to wish you worked with me."

And of course ZandarDad is correct.  He understands the situation well.  The middle may not agree with you, but they will respect you if you stay true to yourself.

At this point, after a year of the Republicans blocking everything the Dems have tried to do, Obama needs to go for broke.

Govern like you got a pair, Barry.  Triangulation only got Clinton impeached.

  1. Happy Thanksgiving. What did the Constitution say about Church and State?
