12. How can Obama be such a do-nothing?
He has absolutely NO leadership, when it comes to the civil unrest
that is happening in this country. He comes out of his hidey-hole
once a month or so--to give some crappy, half-baked lip service to
OWS, but he provides no leadership.

What can he do though? He's taken money from the corporations and kow towed
to their every whim--so I guess that automatically puts him in the 1 percent.

How awkward this must be for President Obama.

18. Yes, but he won't...
Edited on Fri Nov-18-11 11:44 PM by CoffeeCat
He should and he could--but he won't.

OWS grew, in part, due to his failed leadership.

He's not even trying anymore. The corporations run our government. The middle
class is disappearing. More Americans are on food stamps and in poverty since
the Great Depression. Our country is in a perpetual state of neocon-induced war. The laughable
health-care reform we got made our premiums, co-pays and deductibles rise--and has
only enriched the health-insurance companies--who STILL get to decide who lives
and dies--based on frickin profit. Our country tortures. We illegally eavesdrop.
We still don't have Habeas Corpus.

And Obama does nothing to end ANY OF THIS-- and he continues to play the role of enabler
to the very dark, corporate forces who are destroying this country and our democracy.

It's pathetic!

39. Sadly true.
But then, Obama wouldn't have made it all the way to the white house if he wasn't a corporate sell-out. Banksters gave their stamp of approval on Obama, and I don't think he could have gotten elected otherwise, in our current political cllimate.

10. At 6:25 in the video--guns were pointed at students...
Edited on Fri Nov-18-11 11:29 PM by CoffeeCat
Did anyone else catch this?

It was really disgusting and frightening. That police officer looked
scared, out-of-control and like an amateur. It's going to take just
one horrendous incident from a cop like this--and someone gets killed.
He pointed an incredibly powerful-looking gun (rifle?) at the students.

The "leader" cop told them all to back off. Glad they did.

Clearly, those cops didn't even need to be there. No one was doing
anything illegal or even immoral. At this point, these stormtrooper-tactics
only serve to silence those who threaten the corporations.

They are no longer ignoring us. They are no longer laughing at us. This is
the "then they fight you" phase.

15. It's disgusting...
the people are doing nothing wrong. They are abiding laws. They
are within the law and only exercising their Constitutionals rights
of free speech.

It's just disgusting.

The whole scene was just bizarre. The police are dressed as if they're ready
to do battle with an alien invasion. The entire thing was overblown drama
from a bunch of boys--who unfortunately had very powerful weapons. These
were peaceful protesters. This was not an armed robbery.

The whole thing was just grotesque.

14. OMG! The well armed and shielded riot police genuinely looked baffled,
backing up like a herd of sheep. That was amazing and I clapped at the end too.

21. The ending really was surreal...
Why would the police retreat like that?

They know they were being videotaped.

Were they doing it to suggest that they were afraid and will they use a fake-fear
meme to be more brutal when they return the next time?

Seriously. At this point, all of this is orchestrated. There are coordinated efforts
to destroy OWS. Fox News and all of hate-wing talk radio has declared OWS dead. Meanwhile,
dozens of US mayors hold conference calls--strategizing about how to handle this. By their
own admission--it's coordinated.

So, why the retreat and how will that retreat be marketed to the masses, I wonder?

What they got was a huge PR black eye which will spread like, well, wildfire.

24. fucking pigs.
January 28, 2011


So I want to be very clear in calling upon the Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protestors. The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere.

38. like what "more"?
If people are going to be using this word I want to know what it means so I know what the hell they're talking about. What "more" can be meant than just "exposed"? I'm guessing the word was used to mean something more than just "exposed" otherwise I would think they just would have used the word "exposed".
