Thinking about the weakness of the US president, the weakness of the Democratic Party and the present weakness of the Occupy-Movement and its lacking of a real goal I propose to concentrate on President Obama. Since having red this ??. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tom-engelhardt/the-obama-contradiction_b_1464721.html (in short: with a little help from 9/11 bush and cheney deregulated american law and put more and more power in the hands of one man, the president and commander in chief. while not really scoring with his domestic plans (health care..etc) Obama tried to gain respect by increasingly showing up as some kind of warlord, having his own private <more militarized CIA army> and growing hordes of special fordes, 60'000 of them. now imagine all this power in Mitt Romney's hands?.. ?.I sincerely propose this: OCCUPY OBAMA (think of t-shirts, banners, stickers?.) The Occupy-Movement should try to force/invite the president to de- bush and de-cheney the USA. Therefore: OCCUPY OBAMA. Hm - Losers from Hell? Or a last possibility of another USA? Could Occupy set Obama on liberal fire again, with a little big help from Occupy? Maybe In the face of general madness? If not, what else?
