If you examine my posts, I did not define the progressive agenda in its entirety. I mentioned a so-called progressive agenda (It is so-called since many agendas can overlap; i.e., it is likely that no single group can lay claim to a large-enough listing of goals), listed several points that I consider important and left an ellipsis at the end of the short list so that other points could be added: that leaves the list open-ended for other points like the ones you made in your post. My list was not intended to be comprehensive, and I took pains to indicate that in the post.
Also, if a further examination of my posts is made, I did not define President Obama as being anti-progressive as the end of your longest statement implies.
My earlier question to you was what you found that President Obama had been highly effective in doing. To some extent, you have answered that. There is no doubt that President Obama is much better than President Bush: they are of completely different calibers, and President Obama has changed many things for the better. I do concede that you have supplied a list of accomplishments. Kudos to President Obama for those.
Of the list that I supplied, do you believe that those items should not be considered as well? Are those things truly "extreme left"? Moreover, why adopt such terminology for a fellow Democrat who supported President Obama in election?
Do you believe that it is unrealistic to desire President Obama to use the "bully pulpit" to advocate for policies that could help the US? Clearly, the US Congress is extremely difficult to work with. To me, it seems that the only way to influence members of Congress is by way of their various constituencies.
As a brief aside, FDR suggested a second bill of rights shortly before he died. Here is a link to the video:
FDR's Second Bill of Rights. Therefore, in no way, could FDR be considered a right-wing President.
Lastly, if you would care to continue this discussion, I request of you that you refrain from characterizing me in any particular way and that you focus your comments on my arguments, since I have neither attacked you nor accused you of plagiarism.
