The Occupy Wall Street Thread

I don’t see the relationship. Muslims in Muslim countries pissed with US. What does that have to do with Americans hanging the President who is trying to fight for the middle class and the poor?

I have no way of knowing who was responsible for hanging President Obama in effigy, but this sucks.

I didn’t sign it. I know his history and he comes across as a grifter, IMO.

Maybe “Occupy” should read this:

Many of us have ‘lived’ the decline of the middle class for the last 30 years. I know many African Americans have discussed this for years and a little research will show you those who were speaking out but how no one in power would listen. We didn’t tune out. What do you think MLK was talking about back in the 60’s when he talked about economic justice? Black folks have known about the have and the have nots. Unfortunately, when you are only 13% of the population you don’t have a lot of clout. Even those of us in the so-called middle class have struggled for years, so this is not new to us. It’s like people seeing folks in the 9th Ward in New Orleans and being “shocked” that that kind of poverty existed in the United States. Really? Wonder why you don’t see a lot of black folks out protesting? Well maybe it’s because some of us are sitting back and thinking, “oh so now you feel the pinch, too” – welcome to my world”. Reminds me also of the so-called “war on drugs”. It didn’t become a war until the drugs showed up in suburbia. Then the war became lets lock up blacks and send whites to rehab. Look, all I’m saying is that some of us have lived the injustices in the country. We’ve been fighting a lot longer than occupywallstreet and dare I say that many will continue to fight whether occupywallstreet continues or not.

I’m don’t think Romney will win. Maybe I’m not as cynical as you. Maybe I don’t believe Americans are that dumb. But if I’m wrong, I truly want to leave this country.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed) – There are opinions that the exact wording of this “quote” may not be accurate, but it is known by other statements from Jefferson that reflects this same sentiment.

I really like this idea of petitions connected to WH.gov. I signed and tweeted your petition and a few others. This needs to go viral.

I think they believe whatever comes, they’ll be just fine. They are insulated by their wealth. They have the freedom to live anywhere on the planet they desire.

Yes I agree with your “one step further” comment. These mult-national corporations owe no allegiance to America. They are not patriots. They could make less profits and still have gazillions.

I made a comment to my husband about how Americans (99%) are either unwilling or in denial about what is happening in this country. It seems to me that most still believe in the “American Dream”. That one day they’ll wake up and be uber-rich, too. I think they have bought the bs that if they are not wealthy it’s not because the game is rigged, it’s because they aren’t smart enough. It seems that they can’t make themselves believe that their fellow American citizens are willing to let them starve if it comes to that rather than give up a little of their wealth. But the kicker to me is that it’s really not about being uber-rich. Hell at this pace we won’t have a middle class. It will be the uber-rich and the poor.

Really great article AdLib. I tweeted it, also.

I don’t know if you have seen this article in Bloomberg, no less, but it talks about how the “uncertainty” that President Obama supposedly caused is a crock. Republicans are the only ones causing uncertainty.

I read a quote somewhere, by somebody who said that Newt is smart to those who are not.

I tweeted Romney twice today about the lying ad. Then I got blocked. 😀

Since the media is so lousy with their 9% positive coverage of the President, I look for other sources.

President Obama – Day 2 in Australia

I don’t know anything about the author. What I do know is what I have heard Bill Maher, Michael Moore, Chris Matthews, Keith Oblermann, Ed Schult and Rachel Maddow say over the last 2 years. I don’t like what I hear and I see no redeeming value for their half-truths and misinformation. How is it useful to tell Democrats not to vote? Why would Schultz say that the President should be a one-term President if he didn’t go to WI. Why does Rachel think she knows more than this President? Does she get daily briefings or intel? The sad truth is that they run around with their hair on fire only to be shown at a later date that they were way off base. Joan Walsh has been taken to task on Twitter for what many see as racist remarks. Bill Maher and Michael Moore have both made racist remarks. Now Maher is saying Romney may not be so bad. These people were supposed to be progressives and Democrats.

Now we find out that they lean libertarian or are really Republicans – Ariana Huffington. Nor do I appreciate how they continuously question every word, proposal, suspected proposal that comes out of President Obama’s mouth. I have not seen this done to any President in my 40 year memory. I’m sick of it and personally, I don’t care where someone lives if they have the willingness to tell the truth. President Obama is held to a higher standard because he is black. These pundits are attempting to manage him. They say jump and he is suppose to say how high. Maher said he “thought he voted for the black guy”. WTF. So I’m sorry, but I’m right there with the author of this article.
