1. Me neither, hope somebody can write a summary. n/t

2. I listened to it and it just seemed to be a thank you message to Kaine and

Organizing for America and to all of us that knocked on doors and made phone calls. And oh yeah -- the next two years are going to be hard. At least that was all I heard. I was hoping there would be more interaction and that someone would clue him in the we don't want to compromise our principles either.

3. Compromise is the name of the game now

Of course it was before this election and since 2008, but now they've got cover to run further to the right and pretend like it's all the GOP's fault for the predicament that they are in.

4. Thanks for writing this up. As to getting a message to Obama here is my idea

My Rep is a good progressive, and one of my Senators is a very good Liberal (Tom Harkin). I am going to call both of their offices and have a heart to heart about what I hope Obama will do.

- exhibit willingness to compromise, but when Repugs don't and act in bad faith, CALL THEM OUT
- Argue forcefully for Democratic proposals. Point out contraditions in republican plans (Tax Cuts for rich and deficit reduction are incompatible.)

I have to think about it a little more
