The once progressive chief executive is battered on all sides, the ship of state adrift, with no safe harbor in sight.
He could sure use a friend right about now.
And the progressives right here in River City could provide him with just the tonic he needs,
if they can find the time.
All it would take would be about 1,800 Colorado activists, each giving about 60 hours of time, on average, each spending less than $200 of their own money, a small team to manage the campaign, plus about $450,000 from an “angel investor” for media coverage.
President Obama needs a victory right about now.
He needs to win a battle to deliver on one of his signature issues. I don’t think it really matters which one.
You Colorado Progressives have the power to deliver that for him.

Peons like us don’t have much power in our political system anymore, but we can still march, carry signs, sign petitions and wear T-shirts (unless Obama outlawed some of those in his expanded Patriot Act, and I just haven’t heard about it yet.)
It just so happens that this opportunity to help Obama is also in support of a burning issue with conservatives, who are fighting the fearmongering GOP on this. Thus my helpful suggestion.
You committed Progressives can rally the state, and especially Fremont County, to support the transfer of the Bogey Monsters at Guantanamo to the Florence SuperMax.
Frame it as a jobs issue, not as a way to get back closer to the Rule of Law, which is the angle conservatives have over-fixated on. “Rule of Law” and “constitutionality” don’t play very well with low-info voters.
No need to thank me.

Much better to go with petty dictators and demagogues like Obama.
.
if I didn’t know better, I might think that you were unaware that it was the Bush Administration that set up the detention facility at GuantГЎnamo for the express purpose of avoiding the Rule of Law.
R U saying that GW Bush was a petty dictator and demagogue ?
.
How did you like the earmarks tea partiers are taking?
Do you even understand the words you use?
or he would have rolled back Bush’s excesses and at the least prosecuted the Bush Administration lawyers who conspired to get around our Federal Anti-Torture Laws
Obama has morphed into Bush III.
He is a huge disappointment to anyone that cares about trivial things such as
“Rule of Law” & “Constitutionality”.
The best thing Democrats can do is find a Primary Challenger to Obama.
What are the big issues Obama is facing?
The depression – created by Bush
Afghanistan – started by Bush
Tax cuts – created by Bush

No snark, but is it legal to imprison enemy combatants in a civilian prison? I don’t think we have ever done that before.
I guess the government could get around it by, you know, charging the people with a crime and prosecuting.
Federal criminals, would be terrorists especially, are very welcome at our little SuperMax.
Also without snark. More like, just sayin’.
.
U right.
Maybe limit this campaign to just those who are destined to be charged and tried ?
But Kansans don’t want the military POW-types at Leavenworth, so maybe we could beef up the detention facility at Fort Cartoon ?
(actually, I think the Fort contracts out detention to the county lockup, and that wouldn’t do. And with the House blocking any new construction for facilities to hold these guys, maybe my idea wasn’t that great, after all. Anyway, who has time for activism ?)

I think it’s awesome you used your blogger handle on the ballot.
.
that was to trick people into thinking I was all hip and new-media savvy.
Did it work ?
.
.
did I win ? Anybody check ?
.
Rep. Lamborn is still deciding whether or not to concede.
That’s just what the media wants you to think.
You’re better than that, Mr. X.
I think we need to focus on each one’s self’s progress first before we look for our city’s progress. Every development should start within ourselves.
