I'm going to be the lightning rod for stupid people who can't hold an intelligent conversation, but he actually has a moderate point - remember that multiple sources reported that Obama's run for editor of the Harvard Law Journal was promoted strongly by black students thinking that Obama would provide a strong voice for their movement . . . instead, he provided a strong centrist voice, and actually moved past politics (to their chagrin).
Assuming Nader is referring to Obama's ability to retain his strong minority base, he actually may have an interesting point - what happens when Obama actually lives up to his centrist (or, rather, mutual-respect) ideals?
