The Other Party Ought to Take the Bold Advice

From my First Read from NBC News email newsletter:

Here's Roll Call on President Obama's words to House Democrats at their retreat in Philadelphia last night: "A fiery President Barack Obama addressed House Democrats Thursday night, making the case that, while there's more work to do in restoring the economy, Democrats can't be shy about what they've already accomplished." From Obama's remarks: "Obviously, we were all disappointed with the outcome of the last election, and there are a lot of reasons for it and I'm happy to take on some of the blame. But one thing I'm positive about is, when we're shy about what we care about, when we're defensive about what we've accomplished... We need to stand up and go on offense, and not be defensive about what we believe in!"
