progressive than Barack Obama back in 2008, and although our amazing president has proven to be quite progressive - more than any other president who came before him - fact remains that if you look closely, you'll see that those Cassandras from back then were correct - Obama was more centrist than Hillary.

I'm a huge supporter and fan of President Obama, don't get me wrong. But of the reasons why I chose Barack Obama over her was because we needed someone who was slightly less liberal. We were in a crisis of epic proportions, and we needed someone who was, yes, progressive but also somewhat conservative. Now, however, it's time for a strong Progressive to take the White House, build on President Obama's successes and make it her own, and push this country forward with leaps and bounds.
