6. It's significant, for good or bad
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 06:38 AM by Go2Peace
Liberal media is dissallusioned and Obama needs to step up and take notice and make a move to show he is seriously listening. There should be nothing unexpected. Obama himself said we had to "keep pressure on him" from the grassroots. Well, that is EXACTLY what is going on. This is not an "affront", it is democracy in action.

Obama engages the democratic process, if nothing else was promised he has promised that he will represent us and listen to those who voted him in. Well, those who voted him in want more listening. What a PERFECT Democratic opportunity. The question is: Is he really as "grassroots" as he led us to believe? I still think it may be so, but this is the point at which he needs to come forward and acknowledge.

Obama is so good at compromise and listening right? He has done a such a good job showing that to the right and to the corporations, it is puzzling why it should work so differently for those who elected him. He needs to change that perception.
