Lawrence Lessig's Nation article "How to Get Our Democracy Back." From the article: Yet a year into the presidency of Barack Obama, it is already clear that this administration is an opportunity missed. Not because it is too conservative. Not because it is too liberal. But because it is too conventional.

Indeed, 'fundamental change' is no longer even a hint."
