Alter: Hillary Should Get Out Now | Newsweek Voices - Jonathan Alter

Lace up those working boots and don't forget your gloves America, because Uncle Sam wants you to volunteer in your community. Earlier today while speaking at the community service forum, President Obama stated, "While there's plenty that government can and must do ... there's a lot that government can't and shouldn't do and that's where active, engaged citizens come in." Now I'm not proclaiming community service isn't a righteous deed to partake in, my issue is that of the government. President Obama should be relaying to Congress and his administration, that upholding the law and serving the people is the essence of liberty. Obama should record, then playback his own messages, and realize that there are numerous things the government can???t fulfill, such as running a successful health care operation. Or the ability to promote democracy to individuals that don't want anything to do with western civilization. Helping your neighbor and your community, promote peace and prosperity throughout the country. The one issue that keeps this country divided, is the importance placed on political party affiliation. We are all one, and a donkey and an elephant shouldn't keep us apart. Staying righteous to your country and its people is of the upmost importance of our political leaders.

C'mon Alter - you need to get out more. Come down to SE Oklahoma, you can fly into Tulsa, make sure you rent a pick-up truck, leave the monkey suit at the Hilton, get some used blue jeans at Goodwill, get yourself a Nascar t-shirt and a John Deere Cap, get some camo boots at BassPro shop, drive down US 69 , make sure not to order eggs Benedict at Denny's and count the Obama bumper stickers - notta, listen for anyone touting Obama - notta. Don't talk, just listen.

Jonathan, I strongly agree. Hillary needs to get out now. But she won't. She has her ego to take care of.
