What if neither side of Sam's either or proposition applies. The whole piece is bogus specious reasoning. What opportunities does the Obama administration give the working people of the US to accomplish anything in the political process? They could sign up for another guard tour in Afghanistan (or in Iraq--you know the country where the US is going to withdraw from and keep 70,000 troops on 6 superbases). They won't get health care.
There is nothing categorically different so far about Obama. His melanin content is not metaphysical. Until quite a bit more of the the 'American public' turns anti-war however, there is very little hope for agitation working its way into the politics. Perhaps the conservative read on the US was right: without a draft, the US will typically support military adventurism abroad. And if 51% have health care, they won't give a toss about the ones who don't have.
