"...We ought to hold Obama to his promise to be different & bold & to make change. So far, he hasn't come thru on that promise. ...You cannot depend on presidents, & you cannot depend on elections & voting to solve your problems. People themselves, organizing, demonstrating, clamoring, they are the only ones who can push the President and push Congress into change."
