11. We have to change America from the local level up

It has to involve State legislatures and federal congressional districts. I don't like Obama's involvement with Wall Street any less than anyone here. But our system is so hopelessly fucked up that Obama can't raise enough $$ to get re-elected without Wall Street and America's democracy has been hijacked by big money and the Supreme Court's licensing of free spending in our elections.

12. I think if he took the case to the people, he (and you) would be surprised

how we'd have his back. Its all talk though, as he never will, so our best bet is to do what we are doing and ignore his uselessness.

15. He said "make me do it" and whenever we try he tells us to STFU

or that he understands how we feel but doesn't do anything about it.

[Huey P. Long]

16. Yep, useless. More than useless though, an OBSTACLE.

13. Our OWS chapter marched to Obama headquarters...

Our local (Des Moines) OWS chapter, marched to Obama re-election headquarters in downtown
Des Moines.

They were protesting Obama's incestuous relationships with corporations and all of the
unfulfilled promises.

OWS is about ALL politician who have failed us. I think Obama told us that "change
happens from the ground up". And he was right.

14. Right on!
