The Urgency Of Now!
If Obama doesn't harness the momentum of the recent and absurd supreme court decision that corporations should be treated as individual citizens, coupled with the recent coal mining disaster (based upon greed, deregulation and a lack of oversight), coupled with the BP oil disaster (also based upon greed, deregulation and a lack of oversight) to finally force a new direction regarding our energy policies, along with new regulations regarding overreaching corporate influence and power, then he is not embracing "the urgency of now" - a phrase he often referenced in his speeches.
If he can't use the above, to stage a sea-shift, then he is either incapable to lead, or maybe it is already just too late to prevent our country from being fully owned by corporations, and even the President of the United States is nothing more than a powerless actor in a cynical game of deception.
