I guess you have to be fair and let the FAUX news listeners have their say too. <br /><br />Bob, I agree with you 100%. Obama is too worried on losing a few independents. With that said, I hope he gets over it after winning reelection and focuses on fixing our problems. It's not like he could run for a third term. So just get down and do all the great things I read about in The Audacity of Hope.R.

The Progressive Dilemma
Many on the...Opening Shot<br /><br />The Progressive Dilemma<br /><br />Many on the right feel that Obama is loosing his popularity because of his ‘Socialist’ agenda, his liberal leanings or his community organizer mentality. But they ignore the very core of Obama at their peril. He is losing his base, not the middle, in the political spectrum. He has run as quickly as he has been able to, from the very progressive ideals he espoused in his ‘Change You Can Believe In’ rhetorical campaign for the presidency. He and the wizards of Washington have made the calculation that true progressives will never be able to not vote or to vote for the right wing nuts which clamber for the chance to challenge him in the general election. He and his beltway geniuses have steadily moved to the right in their political positions, hoping to capture just a few more Independents as a way to disarm his left flank and appease his moderate right flank, for the general election. But in doing so, he and his ‘ New Democrats’ have more so than the Tea Baggers, awoken the sleeping giant of progressivism. Progressives not Democrats and certainly not Tea Baggers will take this country back from this Corporatist Oligarchy we are currently suffering through. It will not happen the next election or maybe in the following, but be assured it will happen when the average person realizes that the corporate elite have stolen their democracy with the complicity of both parties. The real question is, will Obama wake up to this realization before it is too late? Or, will he continue to cave to right wing nonsense and put our Democracy and all of us at risk, in order to look like the sane one in the room? My bet is on the latter.<br /><br />R.GrossBob Grosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273426398916386603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148170961078476311.post-25572278949904855562011-08-12T18:00:40.829-07:002011-08-12T18:00:40.829-07:00I will give you one thing -- You are concistently ...I will give you one thing -- You are concistently 180 degrees out of phase 100% of the time.
