5. I ignored his statements and just followed him closely
at www.progressivepunch.org/ I knew he was no liberal savior despite the selective parsing of his speeches by people who really wanted to hope he was.

If we want to move the man to the left, we're going to have to move Congress far to the left. That's a pretty tall order given how completely propagandized this country has been in recent years.

The main hope I have that it can be done is how people have been awakened by the Occupy movement. Blaming poor black women in the inner city has gotten old and tired and was never true in the first place. A lot of Mexican illegals, the most recent bogeymen, are going home because the Mexican economy is in better shape than the US economy is. And that pretty much has them casting around for someone to blame.

The Occupy movement has at last managed to inform them who really is to blame.
