Reply #12: Is that a trick question?

After three years of Pres. Obama the U.S. is more plutocratic than it was under G.W. Bush.

Sorry to say, as 'unrealistic' as it may be, the Democrats need a different nominee for president in 2012. The original post laid out the case quite well: the Obama presidency has been a progressive opportunity squandered.

And ... if Robert Reich's prediction of a double dip recession comes true, then the prospects of Obama's reelection get dicey at best.
