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 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-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.”
