A socialist attempts to explain why she thinks socialism will work...this time.
Many in the comments section of the above Youtube link take issue with this video, but it is very close to at least one "progressive" I know.

Antietam battle maps The Battle of Antietam "...also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, particularly in the South), fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek, as part of the Maryland Campaign, was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil. It was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with about 23,000 casualties."

Obama mailed in both proposals rather than engage in the hard work of governance. If Obama had any interest in actually passing his deficit-reduction plan, he would not have filled it with tax hikes that have floated around the Beltway for years — and which both Republicans and Democrats have rejected in the past. The jobs bill was even less creative than his approach to deficit reduction, cribbed from a failed and costly exercise in central economic control. Obama didn’t bother to put much effort into either because he has no intention of doing the hard work needed to accomplish actual deficit reduction or improve the job-creation climate. The president has more than a year to go before the next election, but Obama has stopped governing and has shifted entirely to campaign mode. This is what it looks like when a president quits.

"Perhaps the more people see of Hillary Clinton the more they're reminded of her lies, her meanness and her seemingly unquenchable desire for power. Look at Hillary and you see:
•Whitewater, Casa Grande and her role in those scams
•"Fire their asses!" The order given by Hillary to sack the White House Travel Office
•Marines being used to hand out canapes at White House functions
•Her obstruction of justice and perjury in the Rose Law Firm billing records scandal.
•Craig Livingstone and the cache of FBI files
•The "I want to take those profits" moment.
•Leading the effort to destroy the women involved with her husband.
Oh yeah .. there's more, and (again) as Peggy Noonan says in this column: "There's something about her that makes you look, watch, think, look again, weigh and say: No."

The Obama proposal has little chance of becoming law unless Republican lawmakers bend. But by focusing on the wealthiest Americans, the president is sharpening the contrast between Republicans and Democrats with a theme he can carry into his bid for re-election in 2012."The usual term for that is “demagoguery.” "
