If you think Obama isn't doing things right as our President, then what ARE you doing?

If you think Obama is not doing good enough for America... in fact, even if you do think he is...

then WHAT are you doing about it? I mean, besides talking?

Are you participating in OWS? Are you donating to OWS? Joining the Democratic Party to do get out the vote drives? Are you involved in your community with community organizing or activism?

If Obama is not doing it right then what are you doing to help make things right?

Those who think Obama is not good enough, tell us what you're doing to forward the cause of Progressive values. Those who do support Obama, don't think you're excused, either. For instance, OWS is out there, first into battle, fighting the good fight and taking all the lumps for us. All we need to do is donate something to them to contribute to the Progressive cause.

Yes, I KNOW that lots of DUers are doing something. I just want to turn the DU message away from "Obama isn't doing things right" to what the REAL discussion should be about - which is, what are WE doing to fight back?

If DU's discussions migrate away from "what has Obama done for us" to "what have we done for us" then this thread made its point. Otherwise I guess I'm pissing in the wind. I guess we need some big media celebrity to ask us "what have *WE* done for Progressivism" or something. I dunno. But someone has to get DU, and the rest of liberalism, to move en masse against Conservatism - in a meaningful way, of course.


Edited: FarLeftFist said it PERFECTLY. Spread the meme. YES WE CAN. That means we can. We as a movement can. Obama can't do this by himself. We all need to rise up and help our cause, just like the Tea Party did for theirs.
