Kentucky

President-elect Obama and Congress should charge forward, think big, and run roughshod over Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).

McConnell is the main obstacle now between enacting a progressive public policy in multiple spheres, promising obstruction and more of Bushism.

Now is not the time for the prevent defense.

That’s a football metaphor for a defensive posture intended to protect a lead that usually allows opponents to rack up yardage and score points, often resulting in losing a game. [My boyfriend tells me football has changed somewhat, but this metaphor still works].

In any event, Obama and Congress should think big, and let us see the uglier side of Rhambo (Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel) and Reid (Senate majority leader from Nevada).

Blasting away every Republican screw-up, and every tool they use to obstruct and lie is what most Americans want.

We got here to fix the disasters of the Republicans and change the country to help people.

So, let’s not pretend that the last election was an electoral mandate for McConnell.

It's the two-minute warning, and it's time to pull out all measures to move.
