Barbara Lee Gave a "Barn Burner Speech" at Dem Opening Ceremony!

When Obama is re-elected we can use her words to hold him accountable for the incredible words she expressed about the Democratic Ideals and her support for President Obama and the policies she supports him for.

He owes her and we who are Progressives to listen to her and Progressive Caucus in his second Administration!

If you were watching C-Span's coverage you saw her inspiring speech and if not you can probably find it online somewhere.

I've always been a fan of Barbara Lee.. I think, if you can find it...it's worth a watch.

WHO IS BARBARA LEE?

I'm starting to fade on the hope...but the "HOPE" is that Obama will ditch the Rahm perspective and the Wall Street People he "bailed out" who then "bailed out on him" for Re-election and turned to Romney.

That OBAMA WILL WAKE UP...after that...I'm done with this.

And she speaks to me. I agree with her on every position. I lived in Oakland for several years, and I got to personally lobby her and speak to her about one of my pet issues. She was awesome.
