I got a kick out of reading The Progressive Report's [17 Reasons To Give Thanks](http://pr.thinkprogress.org/2008/11/pr20081126/index.html). I found these 4 interesting.
>We're thankful we'll soon have a president who will hit the ground running instead of a president who is running the country into the ground.
The article they point to is [here](http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/25/obama-we-must-hit-the-ground-running/), but I would read [this analysis](http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/nov2008/obam-n26.shtml) before you get too thankful.
>We're thankful we live in a center-left America rather than "Hannity's America."
I'm not sure I would agree that America is center-left, but it doesn't really matter since the people in charge are closer to Hannity than they are to the center.
>We're thankful that we're moving closer towards a complete withdrawal from Iraq.
If they think the US is going to honor any [Status of Forces Agreement](http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/56182.html), they don't know their [history](http://lefti.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html#4352016616787044344) very well.
>We're thankful for the progressive mandate to govern.
He may have a progressive mandate, but the question is will he follow through? If my post earlier today concerning Obama's appointments are any indication, the answer is no.
