Last week, President Obama created a new rallying cry out of a simple metaphor - that Democrats are trying to mop up the mess the other party has made for years. Watch the video:
Iraq was hard. Afghanistan is harder. There are -– really are people out there who would be happy to blow up this room, wouldn’t bat an eye. And we've got to deal with those folks. The dangers of nuclear proliferation are real. And it requires incredibly time-consuming, methodical negotiations in order to move us in a more peaceful direction. [...]
And I want everybody to know who are standing in the way of progress: I'm not tired. I'm just getting started. You can throw whatever you want at me - keep it coming, we're going to get this done. We're going to get health care done. We're going to get clean energy done. We're going to get climate change done. We're going to fix our schools. We are going to deal with the problems internationally that I was elected to deal with.
Are you ready to grab a mop and join the effort? Because with a Republican state legislature, four Republican Congressmen and two obstructionist Republican Senators, we already have a pretty big mess right here in Oklahoma. And with the governorship on the line in 2010 and issues from the economy, to energy, to jobs and health care, to redistricting at stake in the outcome of next year's election, you better believe we're going to need to work to elect enough Democrats to clean up the mess.
It's going to take all of us to shape our state's future for the better - won't you help us?
Donate $10 to help us clean up the mess here in Oklahoma!
