re: #165 Killgore Trout

I’ll basically agree with you on that but my perspective is a bit different. You’re asking the right question but from the wrong angle. It’s not about “why isn’t Obama more progressive” but “why can’t Obama be more progressive.” It’s about understanding how the world works intead of asking why it doesn’t work the way we want it to. Foriegn policy and energy policy are excellent examples, there’s a reason why so little changes. I’m not sure what those reasons might be but I am sure those reasons aren’t found on Fox, MSNBC, Daily caller or Think Progress.

Bold leadership. Heh.
