What Americans Really Want

Take a moment to read the BuzzFlash interview with Katrina vanden Heuvel, the editor of The Nation. She nails the Bush mantra of "guns, God and gays" and adds this thought on what Americans really want.

"Sure, the American people want us to govern from the center, but it isn't the center the Washington pundits and politicians talk about. Citizens want us to deal with issues that are at the center of their lives. They seek a politics that speaks to and includes them -- affordable child care and health care, quality public education, retirement security, a living wage, environmental protection, clean elections and an internationalist foreign policy that will create real security."
