(1 post)It is a good thing when a people can influence their President. At least he doesn't have his head in the clouds like Newt Grinch or in his a$$ like Mitt money and mo' money Romney. Obama is with the people and trying to guide us toward the future global economy. I am not surprised that OWS came out of Europe. Leaders in Europe are meeting right now debating the future of capitalism because it is not sustainable and ruining the environment. They are saying that Capitalism is an outdated principal and are looking for a new Capitalism where citizens, the private sector and the government work together to make sure that their societies run efficiently and effectively. You will be hearing more about this new Capitalism this year. I think the OWS movement gets the credit for pushing this agenda forward and Obama get credit for actually trying to do something about it. I think we have have to be aware of our own bad habits in consumer culture and perpetuating the cycle of debt and be open to changing things and support the president as he tries to make it happen. After all, we are all in this together. A simple hurricane or flood will show you that. I really like what Obama said about education. We really need to become better educated to be able to be more innovative and prepared for the future. God bless American, everyone.
