Congressional progressives feel slighted and shall remain so

There’s a good reason President Barack Obama has yet to meet with the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Y’all have yet to make enough noise against him, unlike House and Senate Blue Dog caucuses, as David Sirota notes:

“The fact that Obama has spent time courting House Republicans, the most legislatively irrelevant group on the Hill, and still hasn’t met with Progressives, the center core of his party — it’s incredible,” said David Sirota, a liberal columnist and former aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who founded the Progressive Caucus in the early 1990s when he served in the House. …

“The Progressive Caucus won’t get the respect they deserve unless they show they’re willing to play hardball.”

Vote against some Obama measure. Vote against ANY Obama measure connected to Tim Geithner.

That will get you noticed. And, in combination with conservatives, might actually kill some nonsense.
