Obama is a corporate whore like they all are(with the possible exception of Bernie Sanders). Next question.

We are mad. There is so much going on with OWS. Many ideas, many places to point the blame. We need leadership to get us organized!

The President felt the wrath of the almighty LOBBYISTS. Make too many changes and upset the current situation and they'd make sure he was finished - one way or another. Don't forget these are the same people who literally WROTE banking law for the past 15 years...bought and paid for.

I couldn't agree more. LOL. That is an excellent point however I do agree with many people that the corporations have gotten a bit greedy. For instance, back in the 50-70's if you went 5 cents over your bank limit it was ok (back when 5 cents meant something). Now if you're 1 cent over you're charged $35??? Not to mention home and student loans... if you buy a home (assuming you pay it off in 10 years on a 30 year mortgage) you pay twice the cost (check the math with a home costing $150,000)... it's pretty messed up, I know loan sharks that give you a better deal.

However I respect your statement. Please give me your opinion on: http://occupywallst.org/forum/occupy-wall-streets-official-list-of-demands-propo/

Obama is the poor man's hero. Name one policy decision that has reflected otherwise

Everyone that fucked up their job in the finance worlds, and ran their companies into the ground are now heads of treasury, and are working on the budget crisis. 99% of them are turds

Is there a way of voting for OWS?

How about literally allowing citizens to directly vote on issues the way the ancient Greeks did - that was Democracy.
