doing some things and encouragement to do others.
No one mentioned "screaming at the top of your lungs."
But, when you look back at Clinton's presidency, most of the pressure - from both Dems and Republicans - was from the right. That's part of the reason he was the president he was. That's good and bad. Obama is very much like Clinton in that he wants people to like him and is determined to find a middle ground between any two points, no matter how disparate.
We had a progressive moment in 2008 and kind of let it fritter away somewhat.
