240. He got screwed by spineless Senators...
and more than a few House members, with a "D" behind their name.

We made the mistake of running "moderate" DLC corporate types in 2006 & 2008, and it came back to bite us in the ass. The tide had swung BIG TIME by 2006, and if we had run more progressive candidates in those "swing" districts, this whole mess wouldn't have blown up in Obama's face.

Americans want action. "Moderate" (read: CONSERVATIVE) Dems ensured that any action would be limited in scope, and corporate interests would be protected. I hate those bastards even more than I do the GOP, because they betrayed their party, and America.
