The timing concerns me. The OWS movement, which is protesting policies that started under the Republicans, will put forward a "revolutionary" candidate, split the party, and we'll end up with another Republican president.
Obama did not run as a radical. He has always been a firm centrist. The left projected all kinds of stuff onto him that he never embodied. I'm not an apologist for Obama - I've been disappointed too. But I'm also not inclined to romanticize politics -- it's a pragmatic business at best.
