The Gloves Are Off, Mr. President

Keith Olbermann has done it again and this time the gloves are off. For my first blog I wanted to post something catchy or, at the very least, interesting. But last night I saw something inspiring and thought, with the new Congress being sworn in today, I should share it with my fellow Young Dems. So I present to you last night's MSNBC Countdown with Keith Olbermann Special Comment with this addendum.

Starting tomorrow our party takes back the power of Congress and starting tomorrow we must make sure to hold our party accountable. Just because you have a big "D" by your name doesn't mean we won't throw you out. Being big "D" Democrats means we must hold ourselves to a higher standard than those on the other side of the aisle. We must police our own leaders just as seriously as we have policed this president and his Republican Party over the last two years. We cannot simply let the next two years drift by while we wait for change in the Oval Office. So starting tomorrow, to steal from Stephen Colbert, we as Democrats need to put our Democratic leaders on notice. We helped you get back the keys to the kingdom and now we're watching you. Don't let us down.

Be well, Young Dems, and as always, Stay Blue!
