We've come to the moment of truth for President Obama. Either he finds the courage to represent in plain English the suffering of those four million Americans who are losing their unemployment insurance and sticks to his policy of letting the Bush tax cuts expire for those making over $250,000, or he will be perceived as a weak leader who is presiding over a failed presidency.
There are no compromises or deals to be made with the likes of a Mitch McConnell or a John Boehner. They are simply not interested. They want to see Obama fail, and they will do whatever is necessary to see that he does.
No, the ball is now squarely in Obama's court. He must choose sides and take a stand. He must try to remember who elected him and act bravely on their behalf.
