Reply #63: that may very well be what he meant but i don't believe it is true.

i didn't see obama using his popular clout to advance truly progressive ideas. i know we would have
seen dennis do that. unfortunately, we can't know what would work or what wouldn't in an alternate reality.

personally, i would have preferred real education of the masses on exactly where congress stands in relation to
their best interests instead of crap legislation enshrining unnecessary insurance leeches for the foreseeable future.

the real issue here is that obama is playing the game like it has always been played. no change. kucinich would
almost certainly not do that.
