We (the left people) know that the BIG bosses in America are the military, oil and mass media corporations . American presidents do not have enough free space for big changes. American society is not ready for big changes and is not ready to support any president who would like to make big changes. When we say Obama is left we mean is left comparing with other American candidates but sure he is not enough left comparing with an average ALP officer. He is an American progressive. SURE MANY TIMES BETTER THAN BUSH BUT NOT ENOUGH PROGRESSIVE AS I WANT HIM!!

This time tomorrow will see Hilary Clinton will not be the candidate for the Democrats.
She has in the last month hurt her party and we must not yet claim victory for the Democrats.
Much water to go under the bridge America is different I still think Obama can win but he has it all in front of him.
I see zero lurch to the left as we know it but understand some claim every change is a win for the very left , such claims are as close to a win as they will get in the west.
