Obama One Year Later: The Audacity of Winning vs. The Timidity of Governing

"...as Plouffe puts it, from Obama's conviction that "the country needed deep, fundamental change; Washington wasn't thinking long-term... the special interests and lobbyists had too much power, and the American people needed to once again trust and engage in their democracy."


Yes, and Obama's administration doesn't seem to be providing that deep, fundumental change. And it's painfully obvious today. The economic mistakes Robert Reich mentions and the timidity that Arianna Huffington talks about will come back to haunt Dems in '12 unless Obama has his 'John Perkins moment'. Obama's first job out of college was at Business International Corp, a CIA front company.
