It's worth listening to the whole of Unger's video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnf4k8EaL7M&feature=relmfu

I'm surprised anyone reads the Huffington post. They are exactly like Fox just the other side of coin.

They are trash tabloidism for the most part but every now and then you find something on there thats worth looking at.

I didn't like HP coverage of that. There are better sites for that issue.

I didn't like it either but it was the only mainstream news site that covered it. Democracy Now and Common Dreams did a much better job.

You could say the same for Fox.....A blind squirle will find an acorn once in awhile.

I'm sure I would get some pretty bad reviews from some of my old professors as well. I don't support Obama, just pointing out the irrelevance of the source. Points for the articles legitimate criticisms of our current leadership, however, as pointed out there is no one right now to replace them.

I was just reading this and I agree with the sentiment of what he said obviously. I didn't see many people on the comment boards agreeing with him though.

There is no doubt Obama and the entire congress has to go.

But the problem lies in who replaces them?

Where are all the decent people standing up willing to take their place? Where are they all?

Until the masses are motivated enough to want to start governing themselves, which is what OWS is all about, then it doesnt matter who is in and who is out.

The ship will continue to go down, the wars will continue, the rights will keep being stolen, the food and water and air will keep getting worse, the whole thing will conitnue on its downward trend.

So again, where are all the people willing to take Congress' place?

Typically, someone on Huff Post suggested that Unger is just too old.
