It was a speech that progressives should very much appreciate....

[FrenchieCat]

I know I liked what I heard.

He wants to raise taxes on the rich,
has vowed not to touch medicare benefits,
continue with spending on those items Progressives like
(education, research, clean energy and Infrastructure)
and make cuts in defense.

Oh...and he demolished the Republicans.
He called them selfish and no can't do folks,
who are unpatriotic if they don't support increase
taxes for millionaires.

He used the Bully Pulpit.....
so now, it is our turn....
it is up to us to follow up,
because he's thrown us the ball,
as we will have to fight congress...
because we are the voices of the people....
and for what this President is proposing,
no, he cannot do it alone,
and he has never pretended he could,
and it is impossible to believe that he could.

Far as I'm concerned, if we support these proposals,
we have to do more than criticize the President....
we have to support what he is proposing loudly and clearly,
and attack Republicans at every turn.

Yes, we can!
and if we can't, it will be our loss.
