We elected a Professor not a Fighter. What do we do? ______________________________________________________________ by Voodoo king DailyKos.com Tue Jan 19, 2010 at 11:02:49 PM PST Where's the Heart? What should Democrats do as a party when they have as the head of their party a Man who isn't prone to fighting for their beliefs and cause? This is not a bash Obama diary this is just me stating the facts as I see them. All through the election of 2008 Obama played the cool factor to great effect thanks in large part because he ran against an opponent that was verging on the insane, the pick of Palin as VP proves that. I thought once Obama got into office he would transition from his cool persona in the campaign to a full fledge defender of his policy with great vigor and conviction like FDR did or LBJ, but sadly to date Obama hasn't shown any of that...I guess he's just who he is, you can't ask someone to change personality after having been that way for some forty eight years. But in the world of cutthroat politics Obama's lackadaisical attitude is destroying the democratic party and in essence this country. God forbid if the Tea-baggers gain the reins of power -- if you thought George Bush's eight years of hell was a nightmare what will it be like if the likes of Beck and his fellow crazies suddenly have someone in the oval office who believes what they believe? I don't fault Obama for democrats losing MA but I partly fault Obama and which ever Clowns are advising him for causing the atmosphere of this defeat. Republicans are waging an all out war right now against the Progressive agenda, in their minds they believe Democrats and whoever might think like them are evil sent to do harm to this country. They're determined to do whatever it takes to see that Americans which for the most part hardly follow politics come around to seeing things their way. The Republican messaging in the past year and a half has absolutely destroyed the Democratic party messaging. Democrats right now are simply a party without a message, and for Democrats to have any chance in the next year or two to win that messaging war it has to start from the top. Barack Obama needs to kill the cool and show some conviction for the Progressive agenda. I'm not asking for angry I'm asking for CONVICTION. Let People know you believe in something, let people know you can take a stand on serious policy issues. Let people see you dare the Republicans to filibuster an agenda or two. In this country right now people are dying for a fighter, they want to know the ones leading them are fighting against those monied interest who they've come to believe are the cause of all their problems. Scott Brown saw that the people in MA were clamoring for a fighter and he gave it to them. Unless Barack Obama starts channeling some fight in him that will blunt the Republican assault, I fear this country is headed down a path we may never recover from.
