Would it really hurt Obama that much to give a speech to the American people where he said what would be best for the country (not what was politically feasible, not the "starting point for negotiations" but what would actually be best...according to experts not politicians)? Then, after that, he were to say that politicians unwilling to do the right thing for the good of the country are weak, and are cowards, would that be bad?
I know that the chattering class of DC pundits will get all worked up about him being mean or some shit, but the president should lead. And if the members of the US House and Senate are going to continue to be more beholden to bankers and other moneyed interests than they are to the United States, then maybe that should be pointed out with all the harshness it deserves.
Does anyone really think that the American people would be upset with a president that did such a thing?
