Van Jones is back with a message for disappointed progressives, Occupy Wall Street and other “post-‘Hope’” Democrats still looking to President Barack Obama for the change they voted for in 2008: Get over it.
“I think you need two sources of power to make change, and not just one. I think you need a head of state that’s willing to be moved, and a movement to do the moving,” said Jones, the former West Wing insider-turned-disillusioned outsider and a lightning rod for conservative critics.
Liberals must work hard to give Obama a second term, then force him to the left, Jones explained.
“We have to re-elect the president, and we have to re-energize our own movement. That’s how we get change. We’re not going to have a ‘vote and hope’ strategy. We’re going to have a ‘march-and create change’ strategy,” Jones said.

The left are saying Obama isn't left enough, while the right is saying Obama is such a leftist that he's a communist.
Then you got Mitt Romney, the most likely GOP candidate, who's record suggest he's actually more left than Obama.
We got a righty running as a Democrat, and a lefty running as a Republican.
This race will go down in the history book for who can pull off the biggest lies.
