It's time to STOP saying "folks aren't patient enough"

It's never really been about what ACTIVISTS expect.

It's about what the people expect.

And what they expect is for a new administration to be different FROM THE START.

They expect boldness and courage.

They expect confidence in convictions.

When an administration shows neither, it doesn't survive.

The disappointment is the people's disappointment...not the ACTIVIST's disappointment.

Even if you think you can dismiss the activists...you CAN'T dismiss the people. Nor can you DISS the people.

They want full employment put first(even before "market values").

They want the bankers to be disciplined and humbled for their arrogance...and NOW.

And they want healthcare policy that DOESN'T enrich Big Forma.

That's why we're losing the people.

It's not rocket science.

It's just about getting real and being strong.

And NOBODY has the right to tell the AMERICAN PEOPLE they aren't being patient enough, when we OWE them a Second New Deal to end this recession(and we didn't owe the banks a damn thing).

If you fight you win, if you fudge you fail.
