David Sirota was on PBS Friday.

His message (via openleft)

My basic point was pretty simple: If there was a message from the 2009 election, it is that Americans are really pissed off - as they should be when collusion between Washington and Wall Street result in an economic meltdown with unemployment at Great Depression levels.

Democrats can react to that anger by either halting the progressive agenda or they can follow through on all the progressive promises they made during the 2006 and 2008 election. Republicans, as President Obama now acknowledges, will attack them no matter what they do - so IMHO, the smartest policy and political move is for them to push the progressive agenda as aggressively as possible.
