Howard Zinn has a thoughtful piece in the Progessive. It begins with the sentence I used as the title of this blog entry. In it he reminds us of the reality that our president is a politician and if we want change, it is our responsibility to show him the way.
If we care about change, President Obama's election was not the end of our work. We must appauld the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, but we also have to be willing to hold him accountable for wrong decisions (the continuing of military commissions and the turnaround on the detainees at Guantanamo, etc.).
