41. It's simple - we need President Obama to act like a DEMOCRAT

What makes a Democrat a Democrat? Commitment to labor, to the working class.

Democrats are not the women's party or the African-American party or the GLBT party or anything like that. We are the party of labor. It just so happens, however, that women, blacks, gays, Muslims, Jews, Hispanics, etc. all work for a living - they don't have anything handed to them on a silver platter, but have to fight for everything they have.

And that's what we've been waiting for Obama to do: fight.

He hasn't fought for healthcare reform. He hasn't fought for union workers. He hasn't fought for the end of military kangaroo courts in Gitmo. That is not acceptable, and that's not helping those of us who support the working guy.
