And Ice cream castles in the air... [View all]

Yeah, I wish Obama was more progressive. I would love to see the politics of Sanders and Kucinich be accepted by more.

I don't think that's going to happen.

Barring a miracle candidate with the money of Midas I don't see a progressive candidate entering the fray. I still feel that even with all his flaws, Obama is the best we can do at the moment. He's not what I expected but he's better than Nixon.
