“The question whether an Obama-era Democratic Party may offer opportunities for labor and left-of-center political interests presumes that Obama’s Democratic Party offers potential for significant departure from the rightward tacking we’ve seen since Bill Clinton’s presidency. There is little in anything Obama’s said or done to warrant such a presumption. Throughout his career, Obama has been able to assume left support while never seriously committing to any actually left policies.”
- Adolph Reed, “Why Labor’s Soldiering for the Democrats is a Losing Battle”
