Quote of the Day

"If you look at policies alone, policies that have been proposed by both Democrats and Republicans, you miss the main event. The very idea of working together for the good of fellow citizens in need of help is a progressive idea; it is the idea behind the view of democracy that has sustained America from its beginning. Conservatives are not going to like cooperating on Obama's jobs plan. The very idea contradicts much of what they believe. Meanwhile, the president put them in a bind. If they co-operate in helping their fellow citizens, they violate their code of personal responsibility without social responsibility. If they don't co-operate, they look callous and irresponsible." – George Lakoff, How Obama Got It Right.
