As far as I'm concerned, Obama is irrelevant.

The "left" needs to concern itself with building a movement on the ground -- outside of partisan electoral politics -- that organizes the working class into a force to be reckoned with, like the leftist movements that created the kind of pressure that moved FDR into creating the New Deal, and like the Civil Rights movement that created the kind of pressure that moved LBJ into signing the Civil Rights Act.

Change is NOT going to come from the top, it only comes from the demands of those at the bottom.
