Democratic Base Pressuring President-Elect To Come Through On Campaign Promises

Barack Obama promises to steer the nation straight again. He better be ready for a strong force pulling left.
Now the same millions of left-leaning voters who worked relentlessly to get Obama elected want results. That means ending the war in Iraq, ushering in universal health care, halting harsh interrogation tactics against suspected terrorists, making it easier to form unions and aggressively tackling global warming.

“We’ll see,” said Eli Pariser, executive director of the liberal powerhouse Moveon.org, about what Obama will deliver. “If they turn out to be all disappointments, we’ll have a good three years to storm the gates at the White House.”

The debt is starting to come due on Obama’s promise of “change we can believe in.

Obama’s courting of Republicans – for ideas, legislative support, and potential roles in his Cabinet – is drawing cautious attention from the liberal base of his Democratic Party. The concern, to the degree that it exists this soon, is that Obama’s emphasis on governing from the center may undermine the left.

It gets rough in between a rock and hard spot and Barack should have known that before getting himself in this mess! I have a little advice to Barack, stop lying to people, you tell one lie and then have to tell another one to cover up the first…4 years will tell on you Barack, people will see who you really are!

Wright visits Trinity pulpit, lashes media

For the first time since his retirement last spring, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. returned to the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ this morning .

Citing the revelation to Mary by the angel Gabriel that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God, Wright said Mary’s disbelief was similar to the doubts some faithful shared about the future of Trinity after Wright’s retirement and the possibility of a black man being elected president.

Wright said no amount of media coverage could dampen Trinity spirit.

“Jesus said upon this rock I will build–listen to the promise–my church,” he said. “And the gates of Hell–listen to the promise–the gates of Hell–neither ABC nor CNN–the gates of Hell–neither Hannity nor O’Reilly–the gates of Hell–neither Time, Time magazine, Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Tribune … the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Nothing will be impossible with God.”

At the 11 a.m. service, Wright belittled “baby milk believers,” who, he said, suffer a delusion that politics don’t belong in the pulpit.

Mayors Get in Line for U.S. Funds

Big-city mayors will arrive on Capitol Hill Monday to lobby for more federal spending to be funneled to urban areas that they say drive the country’s economic engine.

A delegation of mayors, including Michael Bloomberg of New York and Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, plans to ask the federal government to distribute funds directly to cities instead of going through state governments. The group is set to present a list of more than 4,600 infrastructure projects that they say are “ready to go.”
