No, it will take a movement, not just one person. I hearken back to the times of Pete Seeger, Woodie Guthrie, etc. It will be pro worker, and made up of all those who live below the six figure salary range. The target will be those in the top 10%, they will be seen as the enemy. Obama has become more of an Oreo, brown outside but white to the core. Sure, he's a self made man, but he has bought into the system or has come to the realization that if he is to survive he has to dance the dance and his dance card is full of special (wealthy) interests. It all started the quick descent after 9/11, when the core of the wealthy was attacked and they felt threatened. They then started their transfer of wealth and control, and except for the bump in the road called Obama, they were on their way to their vision of a new world where they controlled everything including the necessities of life like food and water. They are still working to control the people, killing when necessary to gain control of resources. It is now a global battle, a scramble for the last drop of oil, the last vestige of arable land, the last drop of unpolluted water. The next wars will be for food, water, land and the ability to live. The next victims will be the poor, the impoverished, the weak. We are dying as the Roman Empire did, by depleting the vital resources, by making the gap between rich and poor so wide as to be in different worlds. That is why I see the only solution as a bloody revolution.
