83. I hear you, and I would be uncomfortable around the Obama bashing.
But the comments I made apply to the left as well as to the Democratic Party as a whole. The left has been alienated and marginalized for so long, perhaps all we know how to do now is fight, oppose, and attack. It has been a long time since the left has been charged with actually advancing liberal legislation.

I still agree with your basic premise. We need to re-learn how to do it. On the other hand, Obama may show us the way. The stimulus bill was the most liberal piece of legislation passed by Congress since the 1960s, and Obama got that done very quickly.
