That's all this is about, isn't it?
Let's look at the President's battles since day one:
Stimulus, fought by Republicans and conservative Democrats.
Budget, fought by Republicans and conservative Democrats.
Health care reform, major battle with Republicans and conservative Democrats.
Financial reform, major battle with Republicans and conservative Democrats. In the House, 18 blue dogs voted against it as opposed to the entire progressive caucus minus one.
The fact is that the President is pushing progressive policies and there is significant opposition in Congress.
Progressives say the bills don't go far enough because conservative Democrats water them down, but not enough for them to vote for these bills.
