This is it for Obama. This is his crossroad point. It won't last long.

1. Would you care to give us a tiny hint as to

what you're talking about? If you have time, and if you're in the mood, I mean.

:)

3. OWS. People. Constituents. Disatisfied.

He either chooses to address this or he ignores it. What ever he chooses to do it better be the right thing to do in the minds of the people who are for OWS and on the fence Democrats. All are watching. Is that clear enough?

[JNinWB]

4. According to you.

[DCBob]

6. Obama is not the enemy...

The enemy is the Republicans and those with big money supporting their agenda.

[XemaSab]

17. You think the democrats aren't of and for the 1%?

:shrug:

[Edweird]

23. Sorry, but the enemy is anti-working class policies no matter what party they come from.

Obama has shown himself to be just as bad, if not worse, than any of the R's. There is no hope for any change and people are responding to that and taking matters into their own hands. OWS is NOT a Dem/Obama pep rally.

[rsmith6621]

28. DCBob....?????

Are you back on the magic mushrooms again??? because their are a large majority of Democrats who have just as much big money....No party is exempt.

[JuniperLea]

11. He's been pointing to it and telling Pubbies to shit or get off the pot...

What more do you want? What more do you think he can do?

[bluestate10]

14. OWS is not supporting Obama. The group so far is apolitical.

I am one that feel that their cause if right, but their methods are stone headed. Intensive voter registration and constant encouragement of the registered voters to vote is how the struggle for the soul of the nation will be won. Camping out in parks having problem happen that the rightwing can sink their teeth into to try to discredit OWS is not the correct way to win.

[Edweird]

25. Voter registration for what/who? Evil vs Evil lite? The lack of hope and change

is what has driven people to take matters into their own hands.

[EFerrari]

7. Well, there's there insurrection, see.

[Wheezy]

2. This....post, you mean?

:D

[Sal Minella]

20. Yes.

For some reason, my "Activate Clairvoyance" button wasn't working when I got up this morning.

A few other things also seem to be going on concurrently in President Obama's world, actually -- sending troops to Australia with their noses pointed at China, for one -- the world financial crisis, for another -- the cesschamber Congress has become -- for starters.

[Solomon]

5. Yet another in the long list of moving goalposts.

A new line to be crossed everyday.

Get in line and wait your turn.

[msongs]

9. ya if Obama would quit moving goalposts the wait would be shorter lol nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. plus+++++++

[CakeGrrl]

8. Again?

:rofl:

[Fumesucker]

10. Crossroads on the way to Damascus?

12. Give him a break!

I have become comfortable with Obama doing as he is supposed to. He keeps rather calm and orates speeches eloquently. He doesn't rock the boat much and respects his bubble, as have other Presidents, mostly.

Titular heads have a purpose and a place in things and they will be and mean what you accept or expect. Either you will be supportive and confident in them, or you will look to the name and the face and find a useful icon for your dissatisfaction. Or, you could also find a neutrality with a greater assessment of the system and its superficiality, which has become more like pushing a product to consumers than anything visceral, dynamic and potentially threatened by one person in one position in the midst of a host of players, lobbyists and rich and powerful chess players behind the scenes.

Relax and enjoy the show. That is what it is, you know. Any change you want to grow starts with what you choose to know and where you are and what you grow.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. Give him a break? He told us to hold his feet to the fire and to make him do what we wanted done/

Give him a break? He has had plenty of breaks! Break time is over for him!

[Newest Reality]

24. Well, that's the spirit!

I neglected to use a sarcasm tag because I tend not to use them. That is how I intended what was written.

I would love to see Obama cross the line, break-out and get ferocious without as much concern for the Status Quo, etc. Yet, we there is an aura of the MIC around him and the players are far more powerful and dangerous than one man in that position.

Bravery would be nice for a change, because there is, to me, much danger in opposing what is now the very nature and core of the current, owned and operated system being passed-off as anything but.

So, carry on and do what you can. I wonder, these days if any of them, up there, listen at all or even care about our reactions and concerns so much really.

[Angry Dragon]

13. I figure the President has a little over one month to show the

democrats which side of the fence he stands on.........

[Itchinjim]

18. Pfffffftt.

[BeyondGeography]

19. Wrong

[xiamiam]

21. this is the crowd plus millions of others that obama had standing behind him

from day one...he didn't do much with it..to say the least..that is why folks are in the streets..but this is what he had..it will never be so again..it just wont

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Agree!

[kayakjohnny]

26. Huh? Does he play the guitar now too?

[randome]

27. But...OWS is intentionally moving at a glacial pace.

According to many on DU. As long as OWS is disorganized and has no clear message, Obama doesn't have to do shit.

Although I must say the march on Wall Street today was a step in the right direction. Makes much more sense than fighting local cops over 'camping rights'.

More large protests, yes! Occupy public parks, no!

Then maybe Obama will not be ABLE to ignore OWS.

[BlueIris]

29. Again, crossroad point was healthcare. He failed the country there.

Then the Gulf Oil Spill nightmare, another massive failure of leadership. This is just another place in which he will demonstrate that he has no idea how to lead, no desire to address our most serious social problems and no care for the people these problems affect.
