42. Wrong! I do! As I explained before, the conditions against progressivism were in place
long before Obama got to the scene. To act as if Obama is some kind of harbinger is naive and it lacks respect for history. I've already explained myself above, so no need to keep beating a dead horse. The bottom line is that the political climate that FDR/LBJ faced is NOTHING like what Obama faces. Read upthread for more.

I'm on your side; I just think you are arguing based on faulty logic. Give me more, not LESS progressives and you'll have the progressive policies that you want. Complaining about what Obama is and is not doing will not bring about the change. Allowing more Republicans to get elected to Congress will make things worse. Electing more BLUE DOG Democrats to Congress will make things worse. But working to elect progressives at the local, state and congressional levels will only make things better.
