Sending Biden to Beck would do something else. Even if the FOX News viewer couldn’t care less what Biden says, the news generated by the event would reach those white and independent voters who appear to be losing faith with the president. It would give the administration a chance take on the lies and misinformation directly. For the Democratic Party faithful, it just might show them that the administration has a backbone and is willing to take it to “the enemy.” As Sam Donaldson said on “This Week” yesterday, Obama shouldn’t be afraid of a fight with FOX. He quoted President Franklin Roosevelt’s speech where he said his enemies “are unanimous in their hate for me, and I welcome their hatred” and asked people to judge him by the enemies he made. And then Donaldson issued a challenge I agree with wholeheartedly. “So, President Obama, don’t be afraid of them,” he said. “Take them on, and let the people judge. You may lose, but if you lose, you will lose grandly.”

Hear! Hear!
