Enough already with the "caution"
President Obama has done well on many things.

But now's the time to get bolder.

Time for a REAL financial plan that saves the people, not the banks.

Time for a REAL healthcare plan...no wishy-washy centrist nothingburger that won't get passed anyway.

We have a mandate. We have Congress. The people want to go FURTHER than Congress does.

Let's help LEAD this country to REAL change. This is OUR moment, and President Obama needs us out in the streets, challenging, pushing, and expanding the space he has to work with.

As Jim Hightower put it, there's nothing in the middle of the road but "yellow stripes and dead armadillos".

We have nothing to lose but misery. We can only gain strength from trying.

1. Totally agree, better than a good pep talk to keep the momentum going. >

No determining how long this will last so it's always best we make every second and help every piece of legislation to count.
