Following Sanders' Lead, Obama Endorses National Voting Holiday

2. Obama reads the tea leaves better than most. Populism and Progressivism are in,

Third Way is out.

Whether or not there was a need and benefit to swing Rightward, in the days of Reagan and in the backwash afterwards, those days are gone.

If this Democratic Party were to just learn from the success, win or lose, of the Bernie campaign, which admittedly came out of nowhere and either will still win or come close, they would be smart. I don't count on them to be smart, or do something new, but they should.

Obama is doing a number of things that mirror this change in national mood, climate, and to be honest, national NEED.

If the Democrats don't do it, Trump will steal their thunder by running to the Left on various issues and leave us in the lurch.

Bernie supporters are out there en masse, and ripe for the including. But they can't be bought with idle promises. How about we prove to them that the Democratic Party is the party of the people again?

Like I say, I'm cynical after years of Democrats messing around with Republican policies and Republican ideas. But all it takes is a minute to look around and see what time it is. It is time for a revolution, no matter what you call it. You don't have to call it that. You do have to show people you are going to take care of their needs, and we will win a landslide victory.

Slip back into these same old tired Blue Dog tricks, and you will lose equally badly.
