Dreams of power

In Dreams from My Father, Obama mulls the limitations of democracy and the free market, excerpted by Steve Sailer in America’s Half-Blood Prince: Barack Obama’s Story of Race and Inheritance:

That the POWER [buy black] campaign sputtered said something about . . . Questions of competition, decisions forced by a market economy and
majoritarian rule; issues of power.

It was this unyielding reality — that whites were not simply phantoms to be expunged from our dreams but were an active and varied fact of our everyday lives.that finally explained how [black] nationalism could thrive as an emotion and flounder as a program. [pp. 201–202]

Yes we can! become part of this dream from his father answering “questions of competition, decisions forced by a market economy and majoritarian rule” with our competitiveness reined in, our economy tied in knots, and our “majoritarian” habits of deciding by voting on things held in check.

Sailer cites it accurately as O. giving up on people power through community organization.  The question is how he looked at the market and the vote.  My implied argument or allegation is that we know now that he’s enamored of neither, unless you dismiss his by-any-means-necessary approach to his health legislation as anomalous.
