And it's true as you point out that on some issues President Obama is more progressive than President Clinton, the Bushes and Reagan. That's not saying a hell of a lot and I think everyone assumes that. And on others, such as civil liberties, he isn't.
does obama even known any progressive/liberal non-wall street type economics people? nt msongs Jan 2012 #1
Yes he does. But how can they be trusted to represent Wall Street fat cats? Better Believe It Jan 2012 #2

It's true that on some issues Obama is far more progressive than FDR, Truman, and LBJ also. FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #15
Yeah, stop polluting GD with BILL MOYERS. EFerrari Jan 2012 #7
The story is pertinent. How the hell is posting Bill Moyers adding to or creating a cesspool? TheKentuckian Jan 2012 #9
It has nothing to do with Moyers as much as it has to do with the repetitiveness of the same story. FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #11
I don't think anything is being debated. Generally, what we see is an all out assault on messenger TheKentuckian Jan 2012 #17
Do you have an opinion on the article itself? nt Mojorabbit Jan 2012 #13
