QUOTE OF THE DAY – THIS MAN IS NUTS – at 11:57 A.M. ET:  Michael Lerner is one of those sixties radicals who never changed, and who believes the national anthem of the United States should be "I Won't Grow Up," from "Peter Pan."

Now Lerner, who calls himself "Rabbi Lerner," having been ordained in one of those storefront seminaries of the kind that made Al Sharpton a "reverend," has some sixties-style advice for the president.  We reprint it to show what happens to a person who loses touch with reality.  From WaPo:

...there is a real way to save the Obama presidency: by challenging him in the 2012 presidential primaries with a candidate who would unequivocally commit to a well-defined progressive agenda and contrast it with the Obama administration's policies. Such a candidacy would be pooh-poohed by the media, but if it gathered enough popular support - as is likely given the level of alienation among many who were the backbone of Obama's 2008 success - this campaign would pressure Obama toward much more progressive positions and make him a more viable 2012 candidate. Far from weakening his chances for reelection, this kind of progressive primary challenge could save Obama if he moves in the desired direction. And if he holds firm to his current track, he's a goner anyway.
