Are Progressives Losing Touch With Reality?

I know where I was, where single payer/publ­ic option advocates were during this time, but where were you?  Were you here?    Or here?  

Perhaps you were you here, pressuring Joe Lieberman to support single payer or a public option?  

We know that Obama wasn't pressuring Lieberman.  Or Blue Dogs, either.  The public option was dramatical­ly more popular, but Obama pushed legislatio­n without it, and refused to use any of the tools of his position and office to twist arms to pass it.

Did Obama take charge, order federal marshals to keep order at these public gatherings­, send them out to protect the democratic process?

Did Obama gather both parties' leadership and take to the bully pulpit, did he hit the air waves, and say, "There will be gathering in the public square by American citizens to do what we do in America: Debate and discuss the issues facing us without threats of intimidati­on and brandishin­g of weapons!"? 

No, Obama didn't.

Obama did, however, unleash awesome new weapons in the US arsenal (sonic canon weaponry), sent it to Pittsburgh to use on peaceful protesters at the G20 meeting during the same period.
