Obama urges liberal activists and bloggers to ‘keep up the fight’

LAS VEGAS - President Barack Obama is urging liberal activists and bloggers to "keep up the fight" to bring change to Washington.

In a video played Saturday at the annual Netroots Nation convention, the president acknowledged that some in the party’s left wing have been unhappy with the pace of change. Liberals have been disenchanted on issues from the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the failure to create a government-run insurance option in the health care overhaul.

The president says in the brief video that the combat mission in Iraq will end in August.

One wonders why Obama himself isn't keeping up the fight and is instead putting it on the shoulders of the liberal blogosphere...

Obama is an arrogant, egotistical, and Chicago politician. You can take a person out of Chicago, but he or she still Chicago.

He knows their insecurities so is manipulating them by trying to make them feel relevant.

Plus he wants their cheetos money.
