An independent journalist argues that Obama, contrary to the popular perceived image of the 'change candidate,' continues the Democratic Party's move away from its declared mission of supporting the disadvantaged. Street presents recent poll findings and facts in support of his case that Obama has shifted to the right rather than the center. He makes recommendations on how an 'active citizens' network' could nudge Obama toward progressive change, despite America's long tradition of supporting the status quo power structure.
