I agree with you. More, in one of the books I have on President Obama's first term (I don't have those at my finger-tips), it says that he realized after about two years that he had not done enough to keep the energy of the grass roots focused. I know part of that had to do with the White House web site. But, for someone so gifted in communications, he definitely failed to use that bully pulpit.

Reform within the party is necessary before reforming Wall Street could hope to be accomplished. And that won't happen before the left-wing of the party is given its proper seat at the table.
