How does one rectify the OWS camps being dismantled while the President gives an impassioned speech about Fairness and the 99% ?
The Central theme of his rhetoric for re-election is previewed, but the policy remains the same. His calls it the DEFINING ISSUE OF OUR TIME and a MAKE OR BREAK MOMENT.
OWS has had an impact on the message, can it reach the policy making?

At what point does simple rhetoric turn into actual policy? If you want my vote, President Obama, NOW is the time to start making some changes...
Don't dangle a string in front me and play games with me. You need to start freezing some assets, tap that block of ice with a hammer, and give your middle class some icecubes for which they may enjoy their tea.
Talk is talk and nothing more. Should I really expect the President of a destructive system to fix the system that is doing exactly what it was designed to do?
The fix must come from somewhere else, and I don't mean the ballot subsystem.
