Former Senator George McGovern

George McGovern did not exactly have great success as a presidential candidate. He lost all but one state to Richard Nixon. But in an open letter to President Obama in this month’s Harper’s magazine, he warns Obama that it is better to lose an election than lose his soul. Strong words from a man who should know. His letter challenges Obama to step up and lead America with bold initiatives. Initiatives that could revive the economy and build up the middle class like President Roosevelt’s New Deal. We discuss his ambitious blueprint and whether he believes President Obama is the man to get the job done.

Really, Vicki? How's that hope and change working out for you so far?
The old proverb says, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".
The Who said, "We won't get fooled again".
Tnank your for honoring George McGovern.
Per George McGovern's advise to Obama, as the Green Party has created a platform built on the concept of a "New Green Deal," I am hopeful the essence of McGovern's well taken statement begins to reach those Congress members who have the will, backbone, and sense of urgency ...
following suit with the Green Party's vision for America.
