President Obama...listen to Greece and France...stand up to the austerity thugs! [View all]

The voice of the people is growing louder...as the leader of "The Party Of The People", you have an obligation to listen to it.

Stand up to the bankers...stand up to Merkel...stand up to the IMF and the EU!

To be progressive means to absolute oppose austerity and all the antidemocratic demands for its imposition.

Do what the community organizer within you would do, Mr. President.

You need to be on the winning side of history now.
