Obama never draws the line. He keeps conceding to the Republicans before he even needs to, moving further and further to the center.

Maybe its time for us to march on Washington and tell him that we, his base, will not stand for it.

Maybe its time for us to come up with a progressive candidate that we will support instead of him.

We cannot keep supporting a President who does not support us.

1. You'll let us know when the march is organized?
I keep seeing calls for "action", with nobody actually stepping up to do the heavy lifting...

4. Bingo.
The NEA endorsed Obama last weekend ... even though this President and Arne Duncan are more anti-teacher than was even Bush/Cheney/Spellings.

Why?

Because they had no where else to go.

The sad state of America in the 21st century.

5. My point exactly.
We have to create somewhere else to go.
