In Transformational Presidency Katrina Vanden Heuvel of The Nation says that change in the U.S. is now up to civil society. Just as FDR was a centrist who was pushed by circumstances and grassroots pressure to do the right thing, so it must be with Barack Obama if this election is to be the "defining moment" he named it to be in his victory speech. The door to change has been opened. Now, in great numbers and with great determination, with our anger and grief tempered by opportunity, we must walk through that door.
