What Progressives Want From Obama's State of the Union Address: Fighting Words
By David Corn - Politics DailyAn editor asked me a simple question: What do progressives want from President Obama when he delivers his State of the Union speech on Tuesday night? I'm no spokesperson for the left. But here's my hunch: fight. The first two years of Obama's presidency have yielded mixed feelings among many of his supporters. He succeeded in scoring big legislative victories with his stimulus package, the health care bill, and the Wall Street reform law. But these initiatives all were marked by compromises that disappointed progressives. The stimulus bill was too small; the health care legislation did not ...
'Morning Joe' Battle: Lawrence O'Donnell vs. Glenn Greenwald
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyOne of the reasons I really like MSNBC's "Morning Joe" is that it eschews the typical yelling and screaming that have become commonplace on cable TV. Of course, there is a place for heated discussion -- especially when the discussion is timely and based on real disagreements. Such was the case this morning when Salon's Glenn Greenwald faced off against MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell on "Morning Joe." Greenwald had recently accused O'Donnell of "trying to blame 'the Left' and 'liberalism' for the Democrats' political woes." O'Donnell, who noted that he was, himself, a "socialist," tweaked ...

The Progressive Agenda: An Interview With Robert Borosage
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyDemocratic progressive activists gathered in Washington Monday through Wednesday for the annual "America's Future Now!" conference in what was a tough week for progressives. In the Tuesday Democratic Senate primary in Arkansas, incumbent Blanche Lincoln defeated Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, the progressives' choice, who received strong support from organized labor. After Lincoln won, an anonymous Obama White House source accused unions of flushing an estimated $10 million of their members' money "down the toilet" by backing Halter. Asked about the remark on Wednesday, White House spokesman Robert ...
Looking for Change in Barack Obama's Cabinet
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyNoted left-wing and anti-Bush columnist David Corn took a look at President-elect Obama's picks for Cabinet posts and wonders whether there will be much change from the Bush Administration given the nature of some of Obama's selections."The more things change the more they stay...well, you know. And looking at President-elect Barack Obama's top appointments, it's easy to wonder whether convention has truimphed over change-- and centrists over progressives.It's no surprise that many progressives are -- depending on who you ask -- disappointed, irritated, or fit to be tied. Sure, Obama's ...
MoveOn to Fold Its 527
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyIn a symbolic move that is meant to carry on the "people-powered" movement that has fueled millions of donations to Barack Obama's presidential campaign and helped down-ticket Dems via ActBlue and other fund-raisers, MoveOn.org's 527 group, MoveOn Voter Fund, will be shut down. While the MoveOn.org PAC is an FEC registered political action group, such groups as these are limited to $5000 per year cap on individual contributions and cannot take corporate donations. The Voter Fund by contrast could take unregulated corporate donatons. While still active on paper, this 527 has actually been ...
