1. You know I have been thinking more about JFK and RFK and the whole family and how important

You know I have been thinking more about JFK and RFK and the whole Kennedy family and how important they were in making America be a 'liberal' place in their time. That is why the GOP attack Obama so hard. As they did Clinton. They know the value a great liberal leader will have on Americans and they'll do anything to stop heroes like that from surfacing...well not anything...I don't believe in conspiracy theories like Wellstone, etc. There is something really sick in some of the rich of the USA. And that is why OWS is so important. Perhaps OWS, with its 99% 'bat-signal', can step in and be that force that teaches people to love their countrymen instead of hate them like the right teaches its base. The 99% teaches that we are all in this together. It used to be single people (leadership) who changed the thinking of voters. But attack politics has gone so far it is impossible for one person to withstand the onslaught. Let's get real and no longer expect one person to be able to do it. So - a group it will be. Congrats to OWS for finding a way to connect with people, appeal to their humanity and lead.
