We're aware this entry belongs more properly on S&F's Rants & Screeds adjunct blog but time is too short and the matter too important to not have it appear here on S&F's Main Page due the appalling and as recently as a few weeks ago utterly unexpected dead-heat dash to the finish line of the contest between the President and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney for the office of President of The United States. What's desperately needed now is an Obama champion to travel the closing circuit along with Mr. Obama; one who's even more persuasive, compelling, and electrifying than the justly vaunted Bill Clinton. We speak, of course, of that stellar, beloved, and legendary former president Josiah ("Jed") Bartlet (who bears a remarkable resemblance to that dashingly handsome and superbly skilled actor Martin Sheen) whose considerable gifts should be employed for the purpose of galvanizing the country on Mr. Obama's behalf, President Bartlet's speeches written, it should go without saying, by none other than the brilliant Aaron Sorkin.
Obama campaign managers take urgent note. The clock is ticking and time is fast running out.
