Anyone notice that the DU Obama doubters are out today..

30. President Obama MEANT IT when he said "Your job is to hold my feet to the fire." He NEEDS us to do

our job.

His job is NOT made easier by complacent, non-assertive "supporters" urging Americans to have faith, but by supporters who care enough about the values we share with the President to RAISE HELL in support of those values.

"Your job is to hold my feet to the fire. . . So, you need to be out there everyday raising these issues, telling us when we’re doing the right or wrong thing. . . My role is to be President of the United States. . . "

How could our President have been any more emphatic?

To work for the values we share with our President (including creating enough public demand that no "grand bargain" harming essential programs be made) is not to doubt our President. And to work for these shared values does NOT mean that our excellent President is a "fraud".

To assertively demand that no deal be made with Republicans that compromises essential programs STRENGTHENS THE PRESIDENTS HAND in those negotiations with Republicans. (This is especially important in an age where corporate media routine mainstreams Fox News memes. Without an assertive and demanding Democratic base, the terms of public discourse will continue to be pulled further and further to the right.)

That's the reason he told us to DO OUR JOB.
