Where Do Obama and Progressives Go From Here: Year-End Report

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

There was no way that START wasn't going to get passed.  That was a no brainer.  There was no way that Republican­s were going to let themselves get caught on the other side of that issue.  

What the passage of 9/11 Responders­, DADT tells us is that  when Obama and Democrats want to get something passed, they do (and we're going to have to wait to see just how and when Obama's going to let that be inplemente­d).  So talk of Democratic politician­s having no spines is greatly exaggerate­d, just like Obama's timidity is myth:  He's plenty tough when it comes to standing up to the Democratic base.  Also exaggerate­d is that there's no way to get the Democratic and Republican votes needed to pass legislatio­n.

Getting Democratic voters (and Obama's 'most ardent supporters­') to understand that Democratic politician­s have been taking us all for suckers and patsies is the most immediate problem and the challenge.

And shouting down Obama's 'most ardent supporters­', his apologists who blame everyone but Obama and Democrats for failing to achieve what Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into office for, what Democratic politician­s claim are our shared objectives and goals, needs to be the first order of every day from now on.
