Have you been paying attention to the actual legislation and voting records, particularly in the Senate and what's been signed into law, compared to what has been urged by progressives? I'd say, maybe you should reexamine why you're here.

Edited to add--extra bonus 'noob' points for suggesting that the behavior of one anonymous Internet poster is representative of the DNC, or President Obama.

I'd better watch out!!! Someone might actually cast their vote for Romney based on a post of mine!!!!
