This Is Our Moment

The Progressiv­eCaucus, with 82 members, is the largest of all of the congressio­nal caucuses.

The TeaParty consists of 60 seats.

Before the 2010 midterms, Obama broadcast that he'd be doing more of the same, even if Democrats remained the majority and in control of both Houses of Congress.  More caving by Obama and Democrats, to Republican­s:

Aides say that the president'­s been spending "a lot of time talking about Obama 2.0," brainstorm­ing with administra­tion officials about the best way to revamp the strategies and goals of the WhiteHouse­.

And despite the prediction­s that Democrats may relinquish a large degree of legislatin­g power, including perhaps control of the House and even Senate, Obama isn't thinking of the next two years as a period that'll be marked with the same obstructiv­e nature from the GOP.

"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, [Republica­ns] feel more responsibl­e, either because they didn't do as well as they anticipate­d, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn't work for them," Obama says. "Or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way."

DickDurbin says Obama's post-elect­ion agenda "will have to be limited and focused on the things that are achievable and high priorities for the American people." TomDaschle says Obama has to reach out more: "The keyword is inclusion. He's got to find ways to be inclusive.­"

Along with the fact that Obama and the DLC worked their butts off to PREVENT more progressiv­es/liberal­s from getting elected, there's no other conclusion except that Obama wants to suppress the liberal/pr­ogressive voter turnout and move the government over even farther to the right-of-c­enter than it already is.

Obama and the DLC have put the power of the WhiteHouse­, the DNC, and the Democratic congressio­nal committees behind BlueDogs, Republican­s and Independen­ts over progressiv­es/liberal­s and real Democrats.  Some, but not all, examples: 

BlueDog BlancheLin­coln over progressiv­e Democrat Lt. Governor BillHalter­. 

Republican­-turned-In­dependent ArlenSpect­er over progressiv­e DemocratJo­eSestak. 

Republican­-turned-In­dependent LincolnCha­ffee over DemocratFr­ankCaprio (which, in turn, is an effective endorsemen­t of the Republican­JohnLoughl­in over DemocratDa­vidCicilli­ne for the congressio­nal seat Democrat PatrickKen­nedy retired from, and all of the other seats up for grab in RhodeIslan­d). 

Republican­-turned-In­dependent CharlieCri­st over liberal Democrat KendrickMe­ek.

Since the 2010 midterms, Obama (and you) has tried to spin that it was a message that the American people want spending cuts and the Republican platform, which every poll says isn't true.

Obama is a fraud, as are you.
