Keith Olbermann's first segment has George Soros answering a question many of us have been asking. The question — What if Obama can't do what we need him to do?
Soros' answer is in this story by Sam Stein in the Huffington Post. According to the article, Soros said:
And if this president can't do what we need, it is time to start looking somewhere else.Fascinating development. Here's the Olbermann segment.
For what it's worth, the Olbermann segment is titled "Soros delivers ultimatum."
There are clearly many questions about what the Soros statement means, but they all sound to these ears like after-the-fact spinning by affected parties. Judge for yourself. According to Stein, Soros also said (my emphasis):
Soros [said] he is "used to fighting losing battles but doesn't like to lose without fighting.""Lose without fighting" has a painful and recent ring to it. It's also encouraging to see big donors talking about a movement that goes beyond one person. Finally.
I'm just glad one of our billionaires has finally taken up the challenge. To which I say — thanks. And bring your friends. There's a whole lot of work to do.
