It's up to the liberal blogosphere and some members of Congress to shift the narrative away from bipartisanship after Obama enacts his agenda so the country will know that it was liberal and or progressive values that has saved our country from Conservativeruin.
In case you're slow on the uptake with these marching orders, let's break 'em down:
- If Obama does something, it will be progressive
- If Obama does something, it will save the country
- While Obama, the greatest orator since Aaron, will be doing his super-progressive things, he'll be pretending to be a bipartisan
- It's our job to expose that Obama is secretly SuperProgressive (even though being tagged as a liberal gives him hives), with rhetoric even more compelling than that of the greatest orator since Aaron, who will, remember, be pretending to be a bipartisan.
Got it? Good.

"after Obama enacts his agenda "--Got it?
So now I guess we just STFU
until he's enacted his programs???
We can talk sometime in late 2016--right?
Or even later bcz we'll have to keep pretending we're "bipartisan" to try to win in 2016?
Crikey.
STFU
Ah. That's what makes fearless leaderses so fearless.
Heavens, no! It's much better than that!
You won't have to STFU
anymore. You can stay busy calling whatever he does "progressive," even if he continues to distance himself from the divisive, polarizing, ideological, partisan, food-fighting, non-transformative, latte-and-Chablis-fueled, not idea-party-compliant, non-rival-empowering ways of liberalism.
The logic
Obama is a secret progressive. Therefore:
1. If it's secret
2. Then it's progressive.
See how easy?

How will we know when Obama enacts his agenda?
The progressive parts are secret, right? So how do we know when they're enacted?

No, no
He'll be enacting his own agenda. And while you're calling that agenda "progressive" — judiciously, as you will—he'll act again, fulfilling other new agendas, which you can call "progressive" too, and that's how things will sort out.
Stinkin thinkin on my part, VL, I'm sorry
I was trying to have a vision, but I was wrong. That's not my job. It's Obama's job to have the vision. I'm really sorry. [grovels]

Geez, we try to make it easy on you bloggers
Every time he saves the country, call what he did "progressive." If you weren't so blinded by hate and dedicated to being mean on the internet, you'd be able to follow that.
