Reply #72: Those upping the ante by "occupying" Wall St sure don't

Buy it.

the way I see it:

You are either the President, and you bave an understanding of the economy, and you lay out clear, bold visions and expect your Demoratic Congress to get behind you, or you are the puppet of those who are using your Speechifying talents.

Yes, we got ourselves a President whose strongest statement in Summer of 2009 was "Well, the public option is just one tool of many tools that Congress has at its disposal. And I can not offer up my ideas until they finalize their plan. There is a strict separation of powers" And blah blah blah.

I almsot barfed the night that Jon Stewart played the video of the President saying that.

What had happened to that bold young man with the great ideas and the firmness with which he said them? He ran for the Illinois Senate seat back in 2004.

No one has seen that guy since after Nov 5th 2008.
