that had gone to george w. bush by running against the very tax proposal that he is now in favor of. joining me is adam green, the co-founder of the progressive change campaign committee. some people think you're going too far on president obama and i've gotten the same criticism as well. does that ad really enhance the environment? >> look, it's particularly ironic if people get offended by that ad. literally the entire ad was president obama saying an amazingly inspirational thing during 2008 and it was in a red state, in a crowd full of red state voters cheering for the democratic argument on tax cuts. so what we're really trying to do, progressives are trying to show democratic politicians how to fight. we need more politicians willing to take their message to the red states, hold republicans accountable and put them on defense for a change. >> how do you think the white house sell job is going over? they are really, adam, doing a lot of the same grassroots stuff
