In reply to the discussion: Obama and ENDA: How about helping him get it passed? [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)the people who worked hard for this are the same people who are still doing so, and will continue to do so, as it is the right thing to do. So it is the President who is joining that effort, it is he who offered his advocacy and his fierce support. Pressuring him is part of the effort to get the law passed. He is not exempt to criticism nor from all manner of rhetorical pressures and I do not think he wishes such an exemption. He is free to ask for one for himself.
This is an ongoing, fairly well organized effort. Part of his campaign from primary to general included his promises on this legislation, which was already a great and pressing issue getting much attention. He pledged to put the full power of his administration to the passing of ENDA. A wise constituent makes those up for reelection remain aware of the electoral contract that is in place.
