Why Obama Should Play the Blame Game -- Like FDR


What an honor to have a Roosevelt sharing with us.



I have the deepest admiration for TR and FDR. It is hard to imagine two Presidents who had more beneficial influence on the United States than your relatives.



I wish that Obama would channel the Roosevelt Spirit more frequently­. I think that the mission to eliminate Bin Laden echoed Operation Vengeance, when the US Navy tracked down and killed Admiral Yamamoto. The words of your Grandfathe­r to Secretary of the Navy Knox "get Yamamoto", must still have influence as they echo within the White House.



I wish President Obama would stop playing patty-cake with the Republican­s, and I wish he would marginaliz­e Wall Street and try to blast away the hubris and level with Business Community on how they have let America down ... for they have.



I understand that Obama came into office with challenges on multiple levels, and that he felt the need to mend fences and build bridges with his opponents. That tack hasn't seemed to work for the President. So now it is time for President Obama to think like a Roosevelt and say to himself:



"The country comes first."



And confront the opposition boldly, allowing the chips to fall where they may.



Thank you for visiting us here, Mr Roosevelt.
