Agreed. I never had any doubt Obama would do what he did -- try to patch together a dying Empire with a few bandaids. My only worry was whether the semi-periphery would delink in time. But they have. Russia in 2008, China in 2009, Brazil in 2010.
As for community organizing, Obama *is* a community organizer -- the organizer of the bankster-centurion-insco community.
