US. imperialism."

Various people on this list have said the same thing. I keep waiting for 
someone, other than myself who regularly posts on Daily Kos where there are 
hundreds of thousands of Obama supporters, to report that they have actually 
DONE this and what their experiences are. Because, as has been said before, 
outside of the Obama campaign itself (and such websites as Daily Kos) there IS 
no organized group of "Obama supporters," so "critically engaging" them is no 
different than critically engaging the people we always talk to when talking 
about socialism and the other issues we all care about.
