It is imperative Obama wins or I fear for the country and the world. But the piling on is for good reason. The question then, is, do we just say nothing? In the beginning most of we liberals thought he was just finessing the right wing, or there was just nothing else he can do. We all held our tongues for a very long time. But there is just too much suffering. I don't know about other people, but I have a very real vived mental imagine in my mind of needless suffering across the country. I put myself in there shoes and ache for them. I know if I was president I would do things much differently. I would have a cadre of people out there doing everything under the sun and I would be fighting the brain dead, empathy dead right wigners every fucking step of the way. I have done it many times in the past at pretty high levels of government. I know the game, so I know he can do more. Gene Sperling (a Republican) and Daley (a criminal). How about Bill Moyers and Robert Reich. And the head of GE in charge of jobs. Really? And he has still not reached out to Krugman, Stiglitz or Rogoff. Story has it FDR asked Keynes: "how do I solve this depression". Keynes was considered the intellectual equal of Einstein, Whitehead and Russell (ran with them). That was the smart thing to do. Well, Krugman, Stiglitz and Rogoff are the modern versions of Keynes.
