Most progressives expect Obama to do nothing but take ten steps forward every time he addresses an issue. Unfortunately, that's not reality. Reality is this: one party that always wants to take ten steps backwards, and another that finds a way to push forward, one step at a time.
This is one example. It's not single-payer in fifty states, but it's the beginning of it. And it wouldn't have happened without congressional Democrats--and yes, Obama.
There's no percentage in staying home and sulking. The other side never stays home, and definitely never sulks. They're relentless. We have to be, too.
