"The Obama Administration's move to the right is about to give conservatives a victory they could not have anticipated, even under Bush. HUD, under Obama, submitted legislation called PETRA to Congress that would result in the privatization of all public housing in America."

I wrote on ProgressNow community blog that President Obama is becoming a conservative Dem, and I received some flak about it.  But this is another fact that supports my position. I can cite a long list of policies and goals that President Obama supports that this antithetical to progressive/liberal issues, including constitutional issues on civil liberties/rights and executive powers.

Why else would President Obama want to support a conservative position that hurts the poorest in American society?

Sign the petition to halt this shameful bill immediately.
