26. Okay, for the sake of pure pragmatic politics imagine...
if he came out tomorrow and say listed about ten things he really wanted to do in America. I think everyone here can imagine ten things they'd love to see done in their dreams.

But let's just start with a few.

One could be a huge media break up bill. Hm, where did we see that one go south? Still, I'd love to see it, but we know he can't hit it real hard.

Another one could be a real, fair economic income redistribution effort.

How about a true progressive tax scale.

How about the type of harsh environmental regulations we really need?

How about pushing congress to enact truly great labor union laws?

Following Kucinch's Department of Peace.

My point is, soon Obama will start reaching out to ALL voters in America and with no doubt, members here at DU will chastise him for being a traitor to the cause. People here are all readying doing it. In other words, we are hamstringing our best agent for change before he has even knelt down to the starting block.


Hell, look at the bitterness of the HRC supporters (and to you people I suggest you go to Olberman's special comment and read the last third of it dealing with how many "forgives" she has recevied - and you don't even have to acknowledge the Kennedy flub).
