I did answer that, but I'll be more clear: I think the question of whether Obama will do the things Nader asks is a legitimate question that will be answered in time. I also think that Nader suspects that the answer will be a resounding negative.

How could it be otherwise? If he believed that what Obama intends to do was in line with what Nader would do, he would not have run: he would have declared his support for him.

FWIW, I agree with Nader and would love to be wrong.
