                  Snatching Failure From The Jaws of Success! 03/01/2010
                  0 Comments
                   
                  Mr. President, I am going to give you some unsolicited free advice. You were elected based on your campaign that pointed out many of the failures of the previous administration and some glaring shortcomings of the American system.  When you point out a problem, the implication is that you are prepared to fix it.  In other words, if you point it out, you own it. 

                  Pointing out many of those problems can get you elected, but can also be like opening up Pandora's box.  You have reminded and, in some cases awakened people to some major inequities in the American system:
                  To the fact that two percent of the US population control most of the wealth. 
                  To the fact that banks and Wall Street had a party during the Bush administration. To the fact that our health care system sacrifices the heath of many of our citizens to allow others to profit. 

                  If you can't fix those problems, the Republicans and other Right Wing elements will use them against you.  Right Wing talk show hosts have openly said that they want you to fail: 
                  You can guarantee failure by seeking a bipartisan solution to those issues. The Republicans will not profit by your success and are willing to take our country down the drain to get back in power.  
                  You can guarantee failure by seeking the approval of the Blue Dogs, they are Republicans dressed up as Democrats.
                  You can guarantee failure by continuing to court the independent voter at the expense of the principals that got you elected in the first place.

                   I am a Progressive Democrat and a Progressive radio talk show host, I want you to succeed. In case you  don't realize it by now, we were your core supporters during your Presidential campaign. Out of necessity, you had to court unaffiliated voters and disgruntled Republicans.  But, to be honest with you, what hurts us the most is when, in the name of bipartisanism, you classify us as the extreme left side of the political spectrum.  The take away from this, for ALL Democrats is that you can't be all thing to all people and expect to get re-elected.

                    I am just an average middle-class guy who is convinced that there's no one on Talk Radio who speaks for us.  I want to change that situation.
                    I want to get on the air and say the things that you've always wanted to say. The big corporate interests have their lobbyists, I want to be your voice.  Just think of me as your guy looking out for your interests.
