Former DNC Chair Howard Dean urged progressives on Sunday to have patience with President Barack Obama, predicting that the White House would pass comprehensive health care legislation and touting stimulus package successes.

The former Vermont Governor, a respected progressive voice himself, told Fox News Sunday that he thought Obama was "going to do fine" and would "get re-elected" in 2012.

"But I think we'll have a tough election in 2010 unless we can start dealing with the job situation," Dean added.

1. Dean is most likely right, unless the republicans put up a moderate, which is highly unlikely

since they have excluded them from their party

2. Dean is one..

... of the handful of politicians I have any respect for, and apparently he is doing what he has to do, talk up the party.

I think that is fine, but I think he is very wrong. He expressed worry about jobs in 2010 but somehow thinks the problem will magically disappear by 2012.

I don't think so, and I think the Democratic party will pay.
