I’m thinking the lefties appreciate the “fierce urgency of GOVERNMENT” message from BHO.

From the article:

The things that are important to Reichwein, 40, include health care for all Americans and lower interest rates.

These promises remind me of The song by Chicago “Vote For Me” back in the 70’s

Here are the Lyrics:

Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be

I’ll cut your tax in half
I’ll make the Russians laugh
I’ll feed the hungry people everywhere

I’ll bring the railroads back
New trains and new track
From Waikiki to old Deleware

Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be

I’ll give Detroit one year
New cars that run on beer
Or anything except gasoline

I’m looking to the sun
More power for everyone
And the cleanest sky that you’ve ever seen

I’m not going to kid you, there’s a lot to do
Little can I promise, it’s really up to you
But if we all work together
And I think we can
And if you want some new ideas
Then I’m your man

Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be

I’ll work for global peace
And the sweet release
Of the love and human kindness in us all

I would give all I’ve got
You just give me a shot
Somehow, I know that I can win the fall

“fierce urgency of GOVERNMENT”

For liberals it's a prerequisite for obtaining their political support.

“fierce urgency of now”

Also known as “sprint to the bathroom”.

Even the “KOOL-AID” KROWD is deserting the “SS HATE” ship.

“Fierce urgency of now”

Sounds like something a hippie poet would say.
