Obama and Germany and Obama 2.0

This is the first time that we have seen a political organizatiion directed from the White House, separate from the National Parties and with no external controls.

At the risk of being called an alarmist, you have to go back to Germany under Hitler to find such a thing.

President-elect Barack Obama announced the formation of a new group known as "Organizing for America" that aims to continue the grassroots advocacy that the former Illinois Senator began in his presidential campaign.

"As President, I will need the help of all Americans to meet the challenges that lie ahead," Obama said in a video message e-mailed to supporters (and reporters) this morning. "That's why I'm asking people like you who fought for change during the campaign to continue fighting for change in your communities."

The new group will be the flagship of "Obama 2.0" as many people have taken to calling the transformation of the political organization created during the 2008 campaign.
