James Carville Advice to Obama: Panic!

James Carville advises President Obama to “panic” after Tuesday’s two
special election results resulted in victory for the Republicans. Carville
wrote an open letter in a CNN op-ed, giving Obama advice on how to halt the GOP
’s momentum and win re-election.
Carville said Democrats are “past sending out talking points” and said he
would tell the president, “The time has come to demand a plan of action
that requires a complete change from the direction you are headed.”
Carville’s letter is titled: “Fire. Indict. Fight.”
He wrote that first, Obama must fire someone – “No, fire a lot of people,”
he corrected himself – because the current team is just not working.
“It's time to show [your economic analysts] the exit. Wake up – show us
you are doing something,” Carville demanded of the president.
Chip Saltsman, former campaign manager for Mike Huckabee, told The
Christian Post that “as much as it pains” him to do so, he has to agree with
Carville.

“The White House has not been involved. He’s got real _leadership_
(http://www.christianpost.com/topics/leadership/) problems. This was evident
in
the debt ceiling debate as the President seemed to have taken a back seat.”
“Up until this week with his jobs plan, Obama hasn’t really led on
anything this year. I don’t agree with his jobs proposal, but at least he’s
finally doing something,” Saltsman said.
Saltsman said that when Rahm Emanuel was in the White House, the President
had a legislative agenda. However, he said, since Emanuel left, Obama doesn’
t seem very involved at all when it comes to happenings on the Hill.
After Obama fires “a lot of people,” Carville wrote that indictments need
to happen because American people need to see that certain responsible
parties are held accountable for bringing the United States into economic
disaster.
“I know Attorney General Eric Holder is a close friend of yours, but if his
explanations aren't good, fire him too. Demand answers to why no one has
been indicted,” the letter said.
“Do not accept excuses. Demand action now.”
Carville’s third piece of advice to Obama was to make a valid case against
the GOP and hold fast to the explanation as to why things are better under
his leadership.
If Obama follows these terms, he may have a shot at stopping one of those “
creationism-loving, global-warming-denying, _immigration_
(http://www.christianpost.com/topics/immigration/) -bashing,
Social-Security-cutting,
clean-air-hating, mortality-fascinated, Wall-Street-protecting Republicans”
from
running the country,” Carville said.
“The course we are on is not working. The hour is late, and the need is
great. Fire. Indict. Fight.”
