Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) appeared Thursday night on Current TV’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, guest hosted by David Shuster, to discuss job creation in the United States.

Kucinich said America needed President Barack Obama “to be FDR.”

“We need him to come forward and say, ‘I see the great misery that exists in this country.’ I see that not only are there 14 million Americans out of work, but another 12 million Americans are under employed. We have to put Americans back to work.”

As the following video will show, almost no one is driving the point home these days as well as Dennis Kucinich.

I do cringe a bit when he goes off on the rant about China manipulating their currency. I guess he can be forgiven when just about every politician from the far left to the far right harps on this same phony issue.
