It’s just the latest in a long series of betrayals by Barack Obama. Obama was elected by Americans because they wanted change from the policies of George W. Bush. In spite of that clear mandate, Obama has preserved the worst of George W. Bush’s policies.

How can any self-respecting Democrat vote for Obama in 2012? To re-elect Obama would be to reward his betrayals.

That’s not to say that there shouldn’t be a Democratic President. There should be – but one who holds true to the progressive values of the Democratic Party’s base rather than running over to support Republican legislation.

In 2012, Democrats need to Primary Obama. We can find someone better.

Here’s what it means for Wright to be running as a “citizen’s candidate”: Instead of the standard procedure for the selection of a congressional candidate, in which a self-centered politician gathers resources for the power to orchestrate a top-down campaign, Claudia Wright was democratically chosen by a group of committed citizens who had organized around a selfless purpose: The replacement of Jim Matheson as Democratic congressional candidate with a progressive candidate.

As a Blue Dog, working with Republicans to block Democratic legislation, Jim Matheson has gained the strong opposition of his district’s progressive candidates. In spite of his claims that he doesn’t need liberal help to win re-election, Matheson looks vulnerable this time, and his campaign is struggling to figure out a good way to deal with the rebellion on the Left. So far, they haven’t come up with a reasonable response.

Win or lose, 2010 may well be remembered as he year of Claudia Wright. Utahn Democrats are tired of the Blue Dog nonsense.

Now is the time for Democrats who have supported Hillary Clinton for President to reconcile themselves to the fact that their favorite candidate will not be the Democratic presidential nominee. Barack Obama will be.

Clinton supporters of good will can now help in the effort to ensure that John McCain does not become the next President of the United States. It’s time for a show of support for Barack Obama by people who have supported Hillary Clinton. Putting this Clinton Supporters for Obama in 2008 bumper sticker on your car can help.

You also might encourage the Clinton Supporters for Obama blog to continue its efforts.

One of the points of denial Hillary Clinton supporters are clinging to is the desperate hope that somehow, in spite of the rules, the Michigan election in which Barack Obama did not even run as a candidate, would be counted, and Michigan’s delegates would be seated at the Democratic presidential convention.

The truth is that, even if that did happen, Hillary Clinton would lose the nomination. This is getting pathetic.

Michigan Democrats can take action to help end the nightmare. They can show their strong support for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, making it clear that the Clinton campaign cannot use Michigan as a tool in its power games.

Putting a bumper sticker on your car is one way to make your opinion clear. Here’s one option – simple, direct, elegant. Michigan for Obama.
