Former Obama professor calls for the President to be defeated.

[JDPriestly]

28. I have a friend who lost his house thanks to the lies of a mortgage company.

He hired a lawyer to represent him, but instead of fighting for him, the lawyer rushed to make a deal for my friend -- a deal that was really bad for my friend. The court tried to push my friend into going along with the deal that lawyer made.

So my friend hired a second lawyer who fought and used procedure to get justice.

Do you think my friend should have just settled for the deal the first lawyer gave him?

What if he had not been able to find the second lawyer?

Do you think he should have settled for a deal that wasn't any good? Do you think he should have stuck with the lawyer that did not fight for him?

I am supporting Obama and working on his campaign, but I can understand that a lot of progressives feel toward him like my friend felt toward his first lawyer.

It's fine for us who are going to vote for and support Obama to disapprove of what these progressives are saying, but how do we persuade them that they should support Obama?

I can understand how they feel. They think the stakes are very high and that the deals that Obama has cut are costing the country too much.

So, let's think of some arguments that work better than just insults and scolding.
