OWS - incubate this idea with me

[90-percent]

Didn't Barack or somebody else challenge liberals to "MAKE HIM DO IT"? (I REMEMBER - it was LBJ in private to MLK) He said we the people have to make our voices heard and if we provide greater pressure he will try harder in the direction of we the people.

Isn't his use of some OWS concepts a strong signal that the OWS can be a wonderful thing if it grows into the biggest elephant in the living rooms?

3. A friend of mine had a sign in her office: I have to go because there

they go and I am their leader. I especially think that is true in the first years of the two terms a president gets. They need the cover. FDR did not have to worry about that of course.
