Ed Schultz gave voice to what many Liberals and Progressives feel in the wake of an apparent Republican surge on Nov 2. The MSNBC host criticized the White House (even though he says he isn't)by saying the President looks weak and admitted that he (ED) is losing faith.
Schultz also said the White House and Democrats should get out of the fetal position and recognize that republicans are out to destroy them.
Here are more notes from the video above:
-Says Obama acted like he didn't win the election of 2008 and gave in to the Republicans too much
-Says Obama needs to wake up and that he would never change the tone in Washington by playing nice
-says republicans ran the clock out and filibustered everything
-says Republicans are even more determined to stand in the way of President's agenda
-says Obama need to drop the 'statesman-like' act
-says liberals want to hear/see someone standing up for their principles
-says this is not about getting along with people who want to butcher the budget
-says Democratic base didn't turn out because "we're losing faith" as to whether or not the President is tough enough to get the job done
-says compromise and capitulation is not effective
-says he doesn't care if anyone from the white house ever talks to him about anything
-says his criticism isn't about whether or not he likes the president, but is tired of tipping over every time the republicans want something
-Guest Adam Green: says tens of thousands of people have contacted their website just since the election results asking when democrats are going to fight for their principles
-Green says there has been no circumstance laid out by the white house for which they will fight
