You response has nothing to do w/ my post.You blamed the Obama admin. for the Occupy Movement which is absolutely false.

Exactly. OWS was demonstrating against the 1%, our banana republic wealth distribution situation which has been 30 or 40 years in the making.

A report issued last fall by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revealed that the United States has the third worst level of income inequality and poverty among the group’s 30 member states. Only Mexico and Turkey ranked higher in those categories.

The OECD report defined those in poverty as households with an income below half of the median national salary. By this definition, 17 percent of the US population is categorized as poor—higher than all the advanced OECD economies and only marginally behind Mexico and Turkey.

Romney campaign is going with the Spitt Romney (Mitt's evil twin brother) explanation for that horrible no good private fund raiser video. turns out the real Mitt cares for 100% of us all the time, twice as much on Sunday.

From the link I posted:

In 2008, polls showed that young people were overwhelmingly supportive of Obama and the Democrats. And they turned out in droves. According to the research group CIRCLE—The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement—which tracks civic engagement among young voters, 51 percent of 18- to-19-year-olds voted that year.

In 2010, polls showed that young people were still supportive of Obama and the Democrats. But only 20.9 percent of them bothered to vote.

2010 was an off year election. Voter turn out is always lower for all groups in an off year or non-presidential election. It will be interesting to see the voting statistics after the 2012 election for sure.

It was your year to pound the stAKES INTO THE VAMPIRE....and you did not show up. What a loser statement and by what Stern has put on the net, you guys are dumber than a bag of hammers.

McCain accidentally got it right when the bailout was being proposed. if we were simply going to throw money (OUR MONEY) at the problem... it should have entered the system at the common level. it should have interceded to help the home owner. the money would have still ended up in the banks as leverage upon the decline of housing prices. home owners would not be underwater and the same affects otherwise would be the same. gawd we're dumb.

btw... there never should have been any bailout or stimulus or federal reserve intervention. there's nothing wrong with bad ideas failing... and without those actions we would have found real value... not some propped up bubble/inflated value that really only helps banks and wall st and govt.
