List of voters for the quote

Here's one area where Barack Obama and I disagree. Here's what I understand -- is that given the powers that be in Washington, Wall Street, corporate America, the big money interests -- change does not take place no matter who gets elected president unless there is a strong grassroots movement, brilliant campaign. But after he got elected he had the illusion -- the mistake -- of believing that he could sit down with Republicans and just work out some good compromises. That was never going to happen. The only way that we change life for the middle class in this country is when millions of people become actively involved in the political process. No president can do it alone.
