My worry is that any speech the progressives like will never get by the house!

[Logical]

I will love a real progressive speech, but worry that we will have to water it down to nothing again!

Not obama's fault, but still, what he proposes tonight will not be the final outcome.

1. The problem is he starts negotiating by moving toward the right preemptively...

...so he ends up even further to the right in the end.

[Logical]

2. I agree he does, but maybe tonight he has changed his mode! I hope!

[polichick]

3. I'd be thrilled if he changes his model - the speech is in 20 minutes...

...so we'll know soon.

4. that's been the problem for the last 2 1/2 years....

but the PL and liberals blame Obama for this....

[ProudDad]

5. My worry is that folks who think that the only power in this country

resides in the status-quo preserving, corporate-funded Congress and White House.

A mass Movement actually demanding that the will of the people be heard would cause massive change...

Waiting for Obama ain't gonna change shit...'cause he's a died in the wool part of the problem...
