After winning the White House, President Obama said his volunteer army of 13 million would play a crucial role in his administration. His campaign apparatus was reincarnated at the Democratic National Committee and called Organizing for America. Today, Mr. Obama took part in a conference call designed to mobilize the army around healthcare.
