I hope that it has more traction that the Reconstruction Party has. I am 
a little skeptical since there is so little motion in the Black 
community now. At the risk of provoking Fred with my Obamaphobic views, 
I have a feeling that the lack of motion is attributable to his hold 
over the official Black leadership. In the morning I listen occasionally 
to long-time Black journalist Earl Louis on WWRL, the Air America 
station in NY although Louis's show is not part of the Air America 
lineup. Louis is totally gung-ho over Obama and the largely Black 
listeners who call in are even more craven. Whatever Obama does, they 
are for. It is really depressing to hear a young Black man try to 
explain why Obama was right not to release the photos, escalate in 
Afghanistan, etc.
