(2,404 posts)...if I should post this. Obviously, I've decided to do so.
I'm not in favor of any Republican taking office. I have NEVER voted for a Republican and I never will.
However...I mentioned to my wife the other day that "apparently the Bush years weren't enough to awaken the Progressive voices in this country." What I was really saying and it must be obvious how disappointed I am in our current President (one who I fought so hard to get into office), I was really saying that the hopes and dreams of so many that we were going to finally turn the corner on all of this Right Wing madness was just that...a dream.
Other than defeating President Obama, I completely agree with Professor Unger. He not only lays out what has happened, he carefully and forcefully gives "answers" and "solutions" that I thought would be implemented by our current President.
We needed a person of tremendous courage...we needed a visionary...we needed a leader.
Maybe we need to continue our downturn even further before the people of this country finally realize that it isn't working. I think that is all that Professor Unger is saying.
Flame aways my friends...the truth hurts.
