Agitators, Organizers, Activists, Intellectuals Aren't

I'm Not Disappointed In [barack] Obama. He Said Who He Is; He's Doing What He Said He Would Do.

I Came Back To Ann Harbor, Got Caught Up With People Who Were Much More Sophisticated Than I, And It Was An Exciting Time Because My Eyes Were Opening And That's Always Exciting And Michigan Is The Place Where We Had The First Teach-in Against The War.

I Taught. I Lectured At Universities. I Spoke To My Students. I Spoke In Certain Public Forums. But What I Didn't Do Was Respond To Microphones Being Thrust In My Face And Saying, What Is Your Relationship With Obama And Are You An Unrepentant Terrorist?

Where's The Activism? Nobody Knows. And Anyone Who Thinks They Know, Like Todd Gitlin, Has Their Head Up Their Ass. Nobody Knows. The Day Before Every Revolution That's Ever Happened, That Revolution Was Impossible. The Day Before Rosa Parks, That Was Impossible. The Day After, It Was Inevitable.

My Dad Was A [theodor] Roosevelt Democrat.
