If it's the same exhibit I saw awhile ago at our local Mexican Museum, it's fabulous.

They seem to believe that if you swapped out Obama for Kucinich he would be able to get single payer or a robust public option through congress. How, I don't know. They could only get 220 votes for a weak PO in the house.

Agreed 10000000%%%%

They have all found their black slave they want to control. I tell folks at the end of the day Obama will be fine, last i remember Carter was doing well and Bush etc…

What the fuck is a progressive? I almost feel their actions are based on how they feel at a particular moment.

I just have a question which i stated at DKos based on a new york time article, Hillary Clinton is for the escalation of the war.

So I am looking for an explanation of how progressive she was/is? From Iraq vote, to protecting NAFTA, i just need an explanation.

I think I saw alot of revolt on Kuccinch on the site.

I have to ask another question:

What is a progressive?
What is a liberal?
What is a democrat?
It seems like 3 separate identities.

They expect the Black man to clean up after all the white presidents.

Clinton created this mess and Obama is supposed to snap his fingers and make it all better. Overnight.

They can kiss my Black ass and go jump in FireDogLake.

A DADT Timeline
Barney Frank sets one:

Repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” will likely be included as part of next year’s Department of Defense authorization bill in both chambers of Congress, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Wednesday.

“Military issues are always done as part of the overall authorization bill,” Frank said, insisting that this has been the strategy for overturning the policy all along. “'Don’t ask, don’t tell' was always going to be part of the military authorization.”
