What does this country need in a leader?

Let's look at today -
President Bush today had a Press Conference about the economy and basically blamed Congress

He wasn't even finished speaking when Nancy Pelosi issued the democratic response - blaming President Bush

This is why we don't need Rocky (or the Rockette) in the White House -- this country is hopelessly broken, the economy is in shambles, the US dollars has lost 60% of its values, Congress is in a stalemate, we are engaged in two wars and we are an embarrasment in the rest of the world

Who can fix this?

Do we need more fighter and ganmesmenship?
Or do we need real answers and action?

McCain is so far out of reality that unless Hillary Clinton is allowed to continue her 2012 strategy - there is no way McCain can win in November.

Hillary Clinton today represented the following:
(a) her Indiana commercials portray her as a child of Illinois (while this is true - she dumped her Scranton roots pretty quick - not to mention Arkansas and New York-)
(b) MUCH MUCH worse - Today Sen Clinton joined with Sen McCain in calling for this absurd Gasoline tax holiday -
Sen Clinton, unlike Sen McCain, knows better -- but in her full pander mode - she said we will pay for the lost revenue and jobs this will cause with a windfall profits tax (actually one of Obama's key energy bill points) on the Gas Companies.

What Sen Clinton fails to mention is that this windfall profit tax will never pass in the Bush administration - and we will need a democratic president and a 60% vote in the Senate and House for this to maybe pass in the future.

So basically this is Hillary Clinton - once again - saying and doing anything to continue on her re-invention as a populist tour.

So fellow TPM-ers-- what is it?

Rocky: who after all did lose (in the only good movie in the series)
or
Gandhi-mode- someone who knows we need to have truth, non violence and work together

The choice is now up to Indiana and North Carolina -- and we need to be out there in those states andon those boards making the case

We need to start over
