James Carville: Obama should ‘panic’

By: Mackenzie Weinger September 15, 2011 06:18 AM EDT

Democratic strategist James Carville has just one word of advice for President Barack Obama: panic.

In a CNN op-ed, Carville said Tuesday’s two special election results are a warning to the White House – and a sign the president must make drastic changes now to stave off the Republican momentum.

It’s time to panic, he wrote.

“People often ask me what advice I would give the White House about various things,” Carville wrote on Wednesday. “Today I was mulling over election results from New York and Nevada while thinking about that very question. What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic.”

Carville said Democrats are “past sending out talking points” and said he would tell the president, “The time has come to demand a plan of action that requires a complete change from the direction you are headed.”

Carville’s advice: “Fire. Indict. Fight.”

Obama must fire someone – “No – fire a lot of people” — because the current team is just not working, Carville wrote.

He could fire all he wants but who would fell the vacancies?

I suggest he just eat his peas and start writing a book on all the fabulous family vacations the tax payers sponsored.

Exactly. Liberal policies don’t work, you can call that incompetence, insanity, or design. Because liberals don’t don’t care about the consequences.

Carville must be brain dead. Does He really want this guy sicking around?

one of these creationism-loving, global-warming-denying, immigration-bashing, Social-Security-cutting, clean-air-hating, mortality-fascinated, Wall-Street-protecting Republicans running my country

mortality-fascinated? Sometimes immortality is fascinating too. ;-)

Someone at CNN should have panicked when James Carville put on that shirt and tie combination before going on the air.

campaigning. And he’s doing it at colleges, where he can bask in the naive adoration that the kids slather on him.

The Republicans need to hit college campuses hard this election. Ask these kids what he's done for them and what has he done for the classes of 2009 and 2010 who are flipping burgers, if they're lucky.

I think he needs to take some time off to relax...maybe play some more golf.

But not billiards. Accidents do happen.

obama should resign and get on with his life's work...snorting coke, smoking kools, having male to male sex, shooting hoops, taking mulligans, getting bitch slapped by moochelle, getting the klintoons their coffee....

If the idiot savant carville is mocked, ridiculed, and disbelieved by the right when he stands in passionate support of the stain; why then is there any credence at all given his statements telling the stain to panic?

He can't be all wrong when he disagrees with the right and all "right" when he says something the right can support or believe.

Perhaps pushing further to the Left would help?

That is exactly what Carville suggests later in his screed.

Behold, his mighty hand...

Obama must also “make a case like a Democrat” and fight the “Republican austerity garbage,” Carville noted. And when making the case, the president must stick to his story, Carville wrote.

If Obama cannot course correct, the country could soon have a “crazy person” in the White House, Carville said.

“As I watch the Republican debates, I realize that we are on the brink of a crazy person running our nation,” he wrote. “I sit in front of the television and shudder at the thought of one of these creationism-loving, global-warming-denying, immigration-bashing, Social-Security-cutting, clean-air-hating, mortality-fascinated, Wall-Street-protecting Republicans running my country.”

The voice of reason in the DemoncRAT party.

I think he should come out as openly Marxist,
name all his fellow travelers that believe the same way,
and proseletize about the superiority of the Marxist worldview.

They aren’t. Your guys are. That’s why you’re in trouble and in a state of panic.

We already do. His name is Obama.

There were enough deaths at Stalingrad to make the entire tea party collectively orgasm.

What the hell is that all about?

A “crazy person” in the White House?

You mean like one who believes doctors routinely operate on healthy kids and chop off diabetics’ legs just for the money, but that he and the government will stop that by preventing surgeries?

That crazy person?

Which election were they watching in that snap? I remember Carville putting the trashcan on his head, just can’t remember how long ago that was.
