Where's all that change, Mr. President?
During the campaign season Barack Obama made a lot of promises -- to overhaul health care, to draw down the military, to tackle immigration reform and to repeal don't ask, don't tell, among others.
Now some of Obama's most ardent campaign supporters -- including the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, HealthCare for America Now, and Rainbow PUSH -- are staging a rally in Grant Park this afternoon to ask him to make good on those promises.
That's the same venue where, one year ago tomorrow, Obama stepped onto a stage before a screaming crowd and declared victory over John McCain.
The groups' agenda includes pushing Obama to keep fighting for health care reform, specifically a plan that includes a strong public insurance option.
They're also pressing for change on other issues he campaigned for, and they'll present a letter spelling that out at the rally.
The event is set for Tuesday starting at 11:30 a.m. outside Spertus Museum, facing Grant Park.
