      Obama campaigned on single payer. That’s VERY progressive. He just copped out on it once he was seated.

        Lol…

        Campaigning to do something and then immediately refusing to try doesn’t make anyone progressive…

        As I kid I told people I wanted to be an astronaut and they acted happy for me because I was a kid.

        I never became an astronaut, so why are we calling Obama a progressive?
