Obama is the only democrat who's not afraid to say the word PROGRESSIVE
He said it last week in response to the Reagan story and after the SOTU address when FOX NEWS Major Garrett interviewed him.

5. progressive
A quick google of progressive clinton pulled up 642,000 matches. Now, obviously I'm not going to wade through those articles, but I know I've heard her use the word before.

9. During one of the first debates Hillary identified herself, in response to a question about it, as
representing the "progresive wing of the Democratic Party".

My coffee sprayed all the way to the TV screen.
