I am so excited about the job Gene Sperling has done for all of us in the 1 %.  Gene was the director of the National Economic Council under Bill Clinton.  And he has the same job now under President Obama.

We all know we did great under Reagan, and we held our own under Papa Bush.  But under Bill Clinton 45% of all the income growth went to the top 1%!

Thanks Gene!

And then W came to town.

And he topped Gene…under W 65% of all national income growth went to the top 1%…but Gene is the man so that didn’t discourage him…

Gene Sperling came off his consulting gig with Goldman Sachs, love them, and took the reins once more of the National Economic Council.  And that 65% we got under W?  Well with Gene Sperling under Obama it is now 93%…

So thanks Gene Sperling– you sir, are a Great American.  And I have faith that if you continue your policies—you will be able to get us 100%.  And who says you have to be a Democrat, or a Republican, for us to get what we want?

What we care about is progressive leadership–  leadership that gets us progressively more and more and more and more.
