"By the conference’s close on Saturday, liberals had swallowed a dose of reality from the Democratic Party’s top officials"
"Obama, Pelosi appeal to party’s liberal flank
President Obama and other Democratic leaders appealed to a gathering of prominent liberal activists over the weekend, seeking to win back a disenchanted constituency that appears uninterested in helping the party avoid large losses in November’s midterm elections.
In a videotaped speech at the annual Netroots Nation convention in Las Vegas, Obama acknowledged that for many Americans, “change hasn’t come fast enough.’’
What change?
He said he shared that frustration, but he asked liberals to stick with him and the party.
“Change is hard, but if we’ve learned anything these past 18 months, it’s that change is possible,’’ Obama said, adding, “Let’s finish what we’ve started.’’
The man is delusional and insane.
Even so, some of the 2,100 liberal activists gathered here for a conference were stewing over the Obama agenda and said they would do little to protect Democratic majorities in Congress.
Yeah, because it is the BUSH AGENDA!
“There’s a lot of Democrats I’ll be happy to see go,’’ said Markos Moulitsas, who founded the convention five years ago as an offshoot of his Daily Kos blog. “There is a price to be paid for inaction and incompetence.’’
Yup.
The liberal Netroots movement helped push the Republican Party out of power in 2008, but its leaders say their efforts have not been rewarded.
“I am so sick and tired of Democrats saying, ‘We don’t have the votes,’ ’’ Ed Shultz, a liberal radio commentator and MSNBC anchor, said in a keynote speech. “You know what? Go get ’em!’’
Yup.
By the conference’s close on Saturday, liberals had swallowed a dose of reality from the Democratic Party’s top officials. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, arrived Saturday with a blunt appeal: The gates to a progressive agenda have opened under Democratic control, she said, and they will close if Republicans seize power.
PFFFFFFFTTT!!!!
