Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Obama Defends Record, Urges Patience

HeadlineOct 28, 2010

Facing the prospect of major Democratic losses in both Houses of Congress, President Obama continued a get-out-the-vote campaign with an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Obama defended his administration’s record and appealed for more time to deliver on his campaign pledges of “change.”

President Obama: “Over and over again, we have moved forward an agenda that is making a difference in people’s lives each and every day. Now, is it enough? No. And so, I expect, and I think most Democrats out there expect, that people want to see more progress, but certainly, in terms of the folks who voted for me, my expectation and hope is, is that if you look at the track record that we’ve accomplished in very difficult circumstances over the last eighteen months, we have done an awful lot that we talked about during the campaign, and we’re going to do more in the years to come.”
