100. "So now we move from accomplishments to proposals."

Yes. Because the proposals are where you see the President's ideology at work.

Obama never even went near a progressive version of health care. He's never proposed bringing rates for the top 1% anywhere near where they should be. He's done nothing to curb speculation and control the price of gasoline, which is the main force behind most other price increases of the past four years.

And don't even get me started on Obama's spying, which puts Nixon's to shame.

The Democratic Party has constantly drifted to the right to "triangulate" the Republicans since 1988. As a result, the Republicans have been forced to move even further right. So the Democrats triangulate further to the right. Obama is just the latest example of this. We'll see even more of it as the 2016 race shapes up. The Third Way people will insist that we need a "moderate" candidate, who will be even further to the right than Obama, chasing a bloc of racist Southern voters who will never side with us no matter what we do.

The Democratic Party of Kennedy, Johnson, and Humphrey is dead. Our "liberal" Democrats today are to the right of the conservative Republicans of the 1960's. Hell, even Barry Goldwater "evolved" on gay rights faster then Barack Obama did!

And to deny that is willful blindness.
