I disagree that Obama has let us down. Obama has accomplished many of the things he set out to do, but was obstructed by Republicans. It is not only going to take growing a new progressive movement, but delivering a serious blow to the Republican Party to weaken them for a long time. How that can be done, I don't know. They essentially need to be kneecapped (to put it in a crude way). I more than anyone would love to see both happen.
