One year into his presidency, that's the bottom-line takeaway that Micah Sifry has for Barack Obama.
Of course, Sifry, elsewhere in his column, is smart enough to recognize that Obama and his top staff never cared about the mass of volunteers as a dynamic movement, but rather, per David Plouffe, as a new sort of a TV channel to be turned on at Team Obama's whim.
Sifry also dissects the myth of Obama the small-money recipient in his campaign finance.
Hey, though, just to remind you, some of us saw this coming, oh, nearly 30 months and counting now.
My plans for 2012?

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
