This Diary is the Canary in the coalmine. The shot across the bow. The proaction before it's too late. We need to get more agressive with the Progressive message and follow through...
Nightmare? This is what happens when you have "fence sitters" like the blue dog coalition...
The latest Rasmussen Polls have Obama in head to head match ups against Romeney and Palin:
Here are the results:
Obama 45% Romney 45%
Obama 48% Palin 42%
I don't put alot of efficacy into Rasmussen but Pollster has Obama's average approval rating at 54% and dropping as the Blue Dog Democrats have allowed Obama to lose traction on the Public Option debate and allow the right to control the message through the corporate media.
Obama needs to come out swinging hard and firm. The Democratic leadership (Nancy and Harry) is weak thus giving the Conservatives along with the The Blue Dogs control of the Congress.
What is on the horizon?
Well the John Roberts supreme court will roll back McCain Feingold allowing for a deluge of money to go into the pockets of already corrupt politicians from the corporations. It will squelch any opposition from the grass roots level as billions upon billions of dollars will go into the 2010 and 2012 election cycle. Our time is now, not tomorrow, now!!
If the Democrats (all Democrats) do not unite, we stand to lose huge as the rich will fund every conservative with pockets so deep, we will not be able to counter the amount of money to stop the corporate prostitutes.
Obama is only one man!! He needs our help desperately!!
The Blue Dogs have left him to hang dry keeping the door open to the Neoconservative agenda.

Even if you don't live in their district or in another state, make sure you tell whoever answers the phone that you intend on funding any third party canidate who runs against them if they do not support the Public Option...
We can't let Obama fail!!
Update:
Many people are responding to the Rasmussen poll and how "it's too early" the problem with this line of thought is that it allows a story to unfold. It begins to set the tone for a weak President making him a "lame duck" ineffective and setting a path for failure over the next 3 and a half years. They Republicans along with the blue dogs are intentially making him look weak and the public is falling for it. It's about defining Obama early into his term. We have to push back loud and strong....
