While on the one hand I agree that Obama has not been the best President but on the other, I must emphatically denounce a political party whose only objective seems to be standing against any program or initiative to improve our current, problems in order to only debase their rival. Is this what Republicans meant in their Pledge; to deny any and all possibilities for our nation's improvement if said program is introduced by the opposing party even though they themselves have introduced nothing to that same affect? I can only imagine it is nothing close.
If OWS is to really affect change, they need one principle ingredient: A Presidential Candidate. Yes, it sounds crazy. After all; for how many years did Ralph Nadar or the numerous other, third party candidates in our Nation's history, try to wake us up to the reality of the present two-party deficiencies of Washington? Like crows though, we continue to be allured by shiny prisms of glossed over fantasy and catchy phrases like "9-9-9" from these parties rather than looking for a solution provider. Time and time again though, we vote for the candidate who has shiny promises as if cheap pizza slogans in lieu of real ideas are what we really need.
If we all pretend just for a moment that we are thinkers in charge of the destiny of this great nation and step out of whatever comfort zone we inhabit, what would be the thoughts invoked by the demands in our minds to solve today's issues? Would we think the current governmental immunity to solution finding is an intelligent approach or would we think there should be a dramatic change to protect the future of this nation?
For now, Occupy Wall Street is trying to awaken people across this nation to the realization that we cannot count on these corporation controlled leaders. With the numerous campaign ads, useless speeches filled with pointless rhetoric and campaign debate circuses, we cannot seriously expect them to ever perform any duty even remotely resembling leadership. There is no hope to be found in Washington. No White Knight to save us. No Republican or Democrat to change the useless system screwing We the People today and no surprise candidate to return us to real, Democratic representation. We can only look forward more of the same, tired excuses from these quasi leaders taking us further down the road toward national poverty.
Congress doesn't care about Occupy Wall Street because they no longer represent the interests of We the People. They have been ravaging this nation for far too long and considering the fervor with which they continue to do so, there isn't going to be much left of our national body to pick at. Unfortunately, they will not stop until just a bony carcass remains unless We The People stop them from continuing to feed from the trough of our nation's, mounting misery.
