America is ready for progressive reform

The Campaign for America's Future held a conference call about the results from election day and what they mean for the future of the American government. Robert Borosage is the co-director of the Campaign for America's Future. He outlined the "clear message" that was made by voters about the desire for "progressive reform" in the government. Borosage spoke about the claim being made that America is a "center-right nation", which he believes people stick to because it is a "familiar old" idea. A new center is emerging, he said, and President-Elect Obama must respond to the "reality of the mandate he's been given", which means he must be a bold and transformative president.
