Actually, Mr. President, It's Pretty Simple

So you're looking for ways to fire up you base, Mr. President?

I've got an idea.

Stop looking for a consensus that will not emerge until you get out in front of the problems, instead of just watching them unfold.

The American people elected you to lead.  They knew you're a Democrat.  They know you're a liberal.  And most of them aren't dumb enough to need to see your birth certificate five times a day.

You don't have to re-invent the proverbial wheel to fire up your base.  You just have to do the job the American people elected you to do.  If you need an incentive, apart from avoiding a one-term presidency, here's a reminder of why it's so important.

So, as this is William Shatner's 80th birthday, I'll put this in the words of Captain Kirk:

GET.  ON.  WITH.  IT!
