I suggest you read the article you yourself linked.

And the comments..

I really feel sad that Obama has gotten caught up in this “centrist” bullshit. It is very clear from Obama’s voting record in the Illinois and U.S. Senate that he is one of the most Progressive nominees, ideologically, to get the nomination and have a chance in over a generation, but it is also clear that he has been advised to not emphasize this in the General, so as to appeal to Independents and potential Obamacans. I think the best course of action we can do as a movement is to continue to pressure him as much as we can, and hopefully he won’t continue to do this to such a magnificent extent once in office. No guarantees though, so we simply have to work our asses off to also create as Progressive a congress as possible.
