Agreed. And from the point of view of pushing the conversation in the right direction, I think the movement that's been inspired by Obama could be as or more important than Obama himself - provided they don't shut up shop and say "job done" if and when - insh'allah - they get their man into the Whitehouse on November 4th. They need to be pushing him forwards and also not afraid to give him heck when he caves to the corporate lobby and right-wing media.
