yummy

interesting how OWS caught fire at a time when dozens of "traditional" campaigns were floundering. apathy isn't the problem. meaningful engagement was the problem.

a whole generation of college-age voters put their hope and trust in Obama to be an agent of change. now they're graduated, saddled with student loans, and have no prospects for employment. reform within the traditional liberal system is a luxury this generation cannot afford.
