Liberal Pollster's Devastating Memo to Obama: Join the Tea Party
by Wynton C. Hall
If President Obama needed any more indication of how much his public support has eroded, he need look no further than a recent memorandum of sorts published in the New York Times by former President Bill Clinton’s pollster, Stanley Greenberg. Listen to Greenberg, whose progressive polling firm partners with Clinton strategist James Carville, advise Obama and Democrats on what his latest round of polls and focus groups reveal are their only hope to survive politically, given the current reality:
“Voters in the developed world are turning away from Democrats, Socialists, liberals and progressives.â€
“Voters feel ever more estranged from government—and they associate Democrats with government.â€
“If they are to win trust, and votes, Democrats must show they are as determined as the Tea Party movement to change the rules of the game."
“This distrust of government and politicians is unfolding as a full-blown crisis of legitimacy [and] sidelines Democrats and liberalism."
Greenberg says that his public opinion research now reveals that voters believe, “Government rushes to help the irresponsible and does little for the responsible."
To win, Democrats must “advocate policies that would control the borders and address problems of undocumented workers,†and voters want to “see strong enforcement at the border and in the workplace, and the expulsion of troublesome undocumented immigrants."
“Finally, progressives have to be serious about reducing the country’s long-term deficits†because “the deficit matters to people and has real meaning and consequences.â€

Is this a joke to suggest for Obama to join the Tea Party????????? :???:

I don't think there's much risk of him taking the advice. It's kind of like telling a cow to flap its forelegs up and down and fly.

It's also like telling Zer0 to quit smoking and telling Moochelle to quit eating like a stevedore while lecturing everyone else to eat healthy.
