Single payer advocates tried and it didn’t work.

The ACLU is trying and so far, Obama’s DOJ is blocking their efforts.

Bush left office as the most unpopular President in American history…he wasn’t only loathed by Democrats and profound disgust with Bush helped to usher in this Age of Obama which holds much resemblance to the Age of Bush.

If you are not in an organized and persistent way taking up Obama’s challenge of “Making him” do the right thing, then one of three things may be happening:

1)    You think it will be a waste of time because you have seen that the pressure does not work, or

2)    You agree with his neo-con and neo-liberal global domination policies, or

3)    You are only against violence, suppression, oppression, and economic scandals and impoverishment only when Republicans are in the Oval Office.

Do not let the right accuse the left of hypocrisy. Let’s show everyone that we are consistent with our integrity and progressive, peaceful platform.

“Making him” means having the integrity and courage, that is so lacking in DC, to withhold your support from someone who doesn’t deserve it.
