you might not like this, cause Clinton may not have been a progressive enough for you (though I do believe deep down he was)
The greatest "hope" that I have for Obama is to turn out even a little bit like ol' Bill (minus the oval office bj's - not classy for that office, though it really wasnt our business).
Bill started off pretty liberal, and America really wasnt too hot on him until Newt and the pub's took Congress 2 years into Clinton's presidency (which I think has a decent chance of happening in Nov). Clinton embrased some of the ideas from Congress, and became much more of a "centrist", and his last 6 years were pretty spectacular from a fiscal standpoint. I believe that Obama can learn from that.. and hopefully he continues to use Hillary.
I think a Repub Pres (especially one like Bush) and a liberal congress does NOT work.
I do believe that a Liberal Pres and a Conservative congress does and can work though.
I want President Obama to do well.. my future is based on that & I love this country.
