The fact that this is lost on "progressives" (who are these guys anyway?)is beyond me.
The lesson the right learned on Nov 4 is that you cannot ram your agenda down the throats of the electorate (you have to hope they are not paying attention)
the same is true for "progressives" who can be just as blind as the religious right.
rather than whine about Obama's appointments, try educating the electorate so they understand they will benefit as well not just get taxed out the yazoo.
Obama will not get everything done, but rather than fighting about intellectual purity he needs to produce in such a way that the middle class can identify with or we will be looking at a Palin presidency.
