BILL MOYERS: In this essay last week in "The Washington Post," you describe President Obama as quote "trapped between the governing elites who decide things and the people who are governed." When does he finally have to choose sides?

WILLIAM GREIDER: I think he has to choose as this story keeps unfolding, because I don't think it's going to change dramatically with these new plans announced. In fact, the anger will be stoked.

I may be a little hysterical these days, but when I heard that, the paranoid thought that had disappeared since December or so reared its nasty head again in my mind:

If Obama chooses the right side, and tries to truly do right by the "governed", then the "government elites" simply will not let him do it.  They will put him down.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
