Reply #6: If he doesn't turn and fight soon,

[Blue_In_AK]

even his staunchest supporters on DU and elsewhere will have a hard time defending him. I think we've come to the point where a line needs to be drawn in the sand (actually, I think we came to that point some time ago). If he doesn't do it, if he capitulates to the right on these very important decades-old social contracts, what are we going to do? Can he really call himself a Democrat at that point?

I do hope that he finally forcefully stands up and fights for the vast majority of American people who are not millionaires. No more compromises! He likes to take a stand-offish approach, but he's the PRESIDENT, for God's sake. Why doesn't he LEAD?
