Shoot for the moon Rahm

[realFedUp]

Bill Clinton is right. Pass a health care bill.
But...make this a historic bill in your lifetime;
your golden moment to reach for the golden ring
for your golden boy.

Expand Medicare coverage to include a buy-in for
everyone under 65. It's built, it's a no-brainer.
Build it and they will come.
A Blue Dog Dem is just hogging a seat for a real Dem.
Take the chance. Push this through.
If you look wimpier than Smirk, you have lost
our faith in any hope of a realistic and affordable
health care plan that may change life as we
know it. It will boost businesses and
employment like nothing else you can accomplish
during your term.

Great that you work long hours. It doesn't matter
if you don't accomplish the right things during
those hours.

Obama is a sweet-talkin' guy and I'm sure at the
end of four years, he and his family will have
reams of photo albums full of their adventures.
At the end of your four years, we want health care
like much of the civilized world accepts as part of
their lives and due.

Make this your moon shot.

1. I do love the golden rings. nt

[realFedUp]

2. Oh, what the hell.

Cheaper than licking a stamp.

[realFedUp]

3. You'll read anything.

And btw, interesting that my my sweetie Howard
is getting so much good attention now, even
though he's got a contract with MessyNBC.

4. I wonder how many DUers still have their original passwords?

hehehe.
As long as I'm talkin' to mahself....

I do, I do.

And can I say I've rarely been wrong
except when it comes to films.
I was wrong about "Cheri" although
a visual delight.

Looking forward to seeing the new
Coco-Before Chanel film.

5. So, are any of you DUers going to run against your Blue Dog?

Get a big fucking corporate sponsor
first of course, but run, baby, run.

[realFedUp]

6. So mine is Adam Schiff...taking the big money

A couple of his big sponsors are
Quinn Emanuel Llp
and Disney. (kak)

[realFedUp]

7. So... what's your pleasure?

[realFedUp]

8. And progressive talk show hosts...be specific

Say "Expand Medicare with a buy-in"
It's easy to say and gets more specific
than "a public option" plan....
snnnnnnnoooooooozzzzzeeee.

9. Why would he do that when his brother wants to privatize medicare?

And why would he do that when everything in his political career has been against such ideas and for corporate centrism? If he was in the house, he'd be a Blue Dog.

11. Well, have a seat...welcome. What's your pleasure?

I know Rahm is conservative. He wants
to hold onto his job. DC is his job
and life's work. He's working hard
to keep his job, not necessarily doing
his job, like the rest of the Blue Dogs.

But if he is Obama's Rove, he is the
one to do this.

10. I can't believe that a post with "Oh for fuck's sake" gets

a thousand plus reads.

Fortunately the body of the post
reads well and intelligently.
It does deserve a read and a kick.

[robinlynne]

12. love your post, but what did you smoke afterwards? oh, yes, and MArcy Winograd

is going after Jane Harman's seat door by door. for singlepayer, for starters. and no more war. and no more secret vote counting....

[peacebird]

13. I don't think Rahm gives a rats ass about people. He's all about DLC

so asking him to look at health care (not just a bill requiring people to buy health insurance) is kind of a lost cause.

14. DLCer corporatist Third Way "New Democrat" Rahm IS shooting for the moon.

Privatize, privatize, privatize. Just wait til he sets his sights on Social Security.
