Now Obama hasn't been able to do very much due to obstructionism but he could at least have been talking about what he wanted to do to try and explain to the public why the economy is so fucked up right now. He didn't do it in his first term to avoid being painted as a socialist, he was like every first term prez primarily concerned with getting re-elected. Now he can start to talk about it even if he can't do anything about it, hopefully he'll keep talking about inequality.
