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.

OK, so he’s a smart lunatic. However, the Stalingrad comment was a complete non-sequitur and just makes him sound hard core crazy.

Carville said this about Republicans, his wife IS a Republican, so he is insulting her, too. That makes this even meaner and uglier that he is doing this, insulting his wife, knowing his kids will hear about it. He can insult me all he wants to, but why would he insult his wife like this? He is not a good man.

“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.”

I know that a lot of you have read ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand. But another book to read about communism, she wrote as fiction, but included life experiences in it, WE THE LIVING. Tells about when Communism takes over a country, Russia. The words jump off the page at me, it reads like America Today.

I had never said so but always thought the “hope” (and change) slogan was used to draw in the naive who related it back to the LOTR.

Yeah, that one kind of caught my eye too and it apparently flew under the radar. Liberals have such an affinity for monumental bullshit demagoguery.

I was referring to the fact that James Carville looks like Gollum.

What’s this crap about the Red Army at Stalingrad? Carville admits he sees Obama as Stalin?

I was going to post this but I saw you did already.

The money quote: "This may be news to [Obama] but this is not going well," he wrote. "For precedent, see Russian Army 64th division at Stalingrad."
