"I Don't Quit!" That says it all. A damn good speech overall, and now it is time ACT, not
complain and retreat. It is complicated. It is tough. It is messy. And it takes some compromise. But Americans, from right wing to left wing, are not supposed to quit. If you do, more shame on you. Not happy? Make like Jesse Jackson, stop complaining, and start sweating. Not happy? Then get up and ORGANIZE. MESSAGE. MOVE PUBLIC OPINION. RALLY AND KNOCK ON DOORS. CALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. Where is the "movement"? Where is the organization? Where is the Million-Progressives-March on Washington? (TeaHaters can put 70,000 people in Washington but progressives can't for healthcare and other progressive initiatives?) And the Prez did a damn good job last night. I may not be hot on everything he said, but he is on the money with a lot of it. I think he is trying to lead. And I support him. Not happy? Organize. But there is zero sympathy for ANY "I'm mad so I'm staying home." attitude. Kids run into their rooms and slam the door when life isn't perfect. Adults and leaders don't.
