I am an ardent supporter of President Obama. I believe that he has the stuff to be a great president. I hope and pray that he moves beyond what was a primarily centrist approach to governance and recontacts his inner Saul Alinsky and Chicago political persona. The road to reelection is not through emphasis on debt reduction and bipartisanship. Obama can best regain his momentum through strong advocacy of Liberal policies demonstrate unequivocally that he is on the side of the poor and the middle class.
