OCCUPY WALL STREET

Well, I don't want to see Newt Ginrich as president- yesterday when asked about OWS he said he thinks all the protesters should get a job- then added, "First they should take a bath and then get a job." Frankly, since I began voting back in the early 70's there has never been a viable candidate that totally aligned with my political convictions. Not one. And Al Gore would have won in 2000 if not for Ralph Nader, it was so close. And I couldn't get behind Nader even though I was registered Green back then.

I have heard Obama speak in support of the issues OWS is bringing to the surface, many times. And to be honest, I am much more upset with Governors not speaking up and out about the police within their state- they are the ones that have more direct power what is going on in their state. What the hell can Obama do on a state level with police? I am quite upset with Gov Brown here in CA.

Al Gore would have won if the conservative Supreme Court would have upheld the constitution and allowed the recount to happen. Ralph Nader had nothing to do with that.

As for what Obama can do about violence by state police against peaceful protestors? Well, he can speak out for one thing. He hasn't said one damn word about it.
