It won't happen, but President Obama should BEG Howard Dean
to return to the DNC. Clear eyed, tough, no nonsense and hard working. Boy, do we need that.

1. Absolutely agree. He better drop that bi-partisian crap and acknowledge
he was wrong.

5. Yes he should
Edited on Tue Jan-19-10 10:06 PM by dflprincess
but his buddy Rahm would rather every seat in Congress be occupied by Republicans than admit Howard Dean was right.

6. No he shoulndt
That would create a power struggle in the party and would do nothing but divide it. I have no problem in him seeking his advice though.

11. Dean Is The Only Person That Obama Shits On
Everyone else around him betrays him with incompetence and flat out lying. From Rahm to Geitner to Lieberman to Baucus to Snowe to Kaine and his fucked up handling of the Mass. race. Yet, the only person that Obama directly shits on is Howard Dean, the only competent Democrat in the group.

12. I like that idea. I have always thought that Dean wasn't chosen by Obama to continue
as chairman because Rahm Emanuel was still pissed at Dean about the 50 state strategy. Rahm was a bad choice by Obama if he was going to govern based on his campaign rhetoric.

13. DNC Chair is a figurehead position when the party is in power
David Axelrod runs the Democratic Party. It would be interesting if Obama asked Dean to run the White House Office of Political Affairs and relegated Axelrod to policy only.

15. That makes too much sense. Dean actually got results.
So they'll continue to ignore him. Especially if Rahm has anything to do with it. He hates Dean's guts. :banghead:

19. He could at least ask nicely
for what it's worth, you're absolutely right. Sadly, it's an unlikely scenario :(
