(18,124 posts)and the Democratic Party leadership are cowards and have been from at least since 2000. Earlier than that really. Oh and did I mention the 'bluedogs'? Useless and without worth to true progressive movements like we are supposed to be. Did I mention Bill, Hillary, Feinstein, Reid, Pelosi, Wasserman and even with the unprecedented racial and partisan obstruction Obama has faced, it is disappointing to me that he is not speaking out and up on issues like economic disparity among americans, the continued foreclosure debacle, bankers and their greed, corporate power in influencing policy, racism and hate being openly practiced by state sanctioned executioners/murderers, politicians and the average fucking racist in the streets. This 'new' racism is only because of his color as POTUS. He can talk about it now with no danger to his administration and we better hope we come up with a candidate strong enough to weather the RW media backlash IF he should ever speak out on these issues.
This is a sick, sick country politically, racially, culturally and it is not going to be any different in the foreseeable future.
