Obama will have to find a way to wipe those pesky Google caches. They interfere with the effective operation of the memory hole.

Excerpt of October 10, 2005 speech by John Podesta at University of Wisconsin-Madison:

http://www.campusprogress.org/tools/593/what-does-it-mean-to-be-progressive

"...What does it mean to be a progressive?

"It means supporting progressive legislation, such as Illinois’ landmark corporate accountability act, California’s efforts to provide citizens with low cost prescription drug coverage, and Arkansas’ initiative to enable the children of immigrants to receive an affordable education. It means supporting local and grassroots organizations doing the legwork in communities across the country, like ACORN’s campaign to raise the minimum wage, which has already seen success in Florida and Nevada.

"It means re-working our approach to foreign policy and national security, like the Truman Project is—a group of young progressives rethinking everything from military force structure to our relationship with Iran—or the Genocide Intervention Fund, comprised of some highly motivated students at Swarthmore, who are successfully raising awareness and funds to stop the slaughter in Darfur.

"It means supporting big, bold ideas and workable solutions to our most pressing problems like reforming health care, education and the tax system and finding a workable exit strategy for Iraq. The Center has put forward plans in each of these areas and is working with the media, legislators, and thinkers inside and outside the Beltway to forge ahead with them. And we are certainly not the only ones.

"Today, I want to challenge you to help renew a progressive vision for America and put it to work.

"Some of you already are.

Maybe you’re active in the peace movement.

"Or you’re involved in human rights work.

"Or you’re helping to build support for the labor movement.

"Today, I’d like to invite the rest of you to join them…

"Together, all of us, we have the power to take this country back.

"To make those three words “We the People” ring true for your generation.

"Whether you call them the new right, the old right, the far right or the not quite right, conservatism has had its chance.

"Now it’s your turn.

"Take it.

"Thank you."
