56. All cynicism aside it IS a movement
it has all the markers of one....

And change in US History comes out of dramatic events

Civil war, the Great Depression, WW II

If I am readying the economy right... we are bound for another Great Depression... that will drive real change

FDR had two choices

A Soviet Style Revolution (and he got the message as the 1932 elections had the best polling evah for the US Communist Party), or he could implement POPULIST policies and save Capitalism from itself

If we have similar conditions... then Obama will bring real change or revolution, as in the violent kind, will finally occur
