There is no better example to illustrate what happens when a movement stops being active, and places the responsibility on a single person to achieve change.

The 2008 brought about a great energy, a powerful force. We elected an unlikely president. Then, people sat back.

It created a huge vacuum, which was rapidly filled by republican rats and tea party snakes. That never should have happened.

I do note that, in one of the early biographies of Obama's presidency, it was documented that President Obama came to recognize that his staff had failed to attempt to harness that energy, post-election. Thus, it is fair to say it was an overall failure, and we have surely paid a price for it.
