It may not seem like much, but it's a start. Obama puts a bank critic into the FDIC:

Now if we can get William Black into Treasury we are set.

Guys, I cannot vote in US, I'm from Europe so I'm totally objective.

If Obama or any politician is doing his job, namely work for the people interests, even if he/she starts now, applaud and support him/her.

This is the idea. That politicians to do their jobs. They are your employees. Forget their names, parties, ideologies.

On the other hand, ows should not engage in political battle. I presume that OWS is not against other people ( bankers, politicians, etc) is against the greed, corruption of a system.

True, run by politicians, bankers, etc but supported by our own ignorance. Now we overcome ingnorance and we will help politicians to overcome their greed and ignorance too.

Be pro active. Thank you for your courage!

Obama is part of the problem and in no way part of the solution.

No president has had more nominees blocked by the senate. He's had a long list of people you'd approve of that have not been confirmed.

There are many government agencies with "acting" heads as a result. It's a mess.

nominees? He appointed CZARS to avoid any scurtiny even when he had a Democratically controlled house and senate???? Then his JOBS CZar Jeffrey Immelt closes American factories and moves them to China. The JOBS CZar for God's sake. wake up. Jeff Immelt and GE got $126 MILLION stimulus dollars despite making over $6 BILLION profit and paying ZERO TAXES at the same time. BaROKE Obumbler's $852 STIMULUS bill to create JOBS and start SHOVEL READY PROJECTS turns out to be a SLUSH FUND FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS LIKE SOLYNDRA, GE, JEFF DOERR and STEVE WESTLY, other DONORS, fictitious zip codes,etc.. Obumbler blew $852 BILLION, NOW HE WANTS $450 BILLION MORE---SHOW US THE MONEY, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE $852 BILLION?? Criminals always return to scene of the crime, Obumbler's BACK TO STEAL MORE MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS! Millions went to foreign banks, $529 MILLION went to Finland to build hybrid cars, MILLIONS went to Hezbollah, MILLIONS TO CRONIES. The same type of CRONIES are on his JOBS BOARD! All we'll get from them is more LIES, DECEIT, FRAUD!
