I'm so flippin' proud of this president!

46. Through some unfortunate circumstances...

I have found myself representing a large, criminal enterprise known as Citibank as an attorney. I cringe every time I do it. Unfortunately, with a family to support, I just can't walk out (been looking for a year). I agree with you 1 million percent. My office is on Broad Street, 1 block away from the world's largest toilet (the New York Stock Exchange), so I see the OWS folks all the time. You're right. All the demonstrations don't seem to help. I think the reason is that our politicians are not scared of us. Plainly, the numbers just don't seem big enough. Imagine 10 million people marching towards the Capitol. Imagine those same people with torches and pitchforks. I think that's what it's going to take.

As for the tenor of the thread, I WISH I could share any enthusiasm. He has done some good things. I guess my fear is that in any kind of euphoria people will forget the truly egregious things he's done and that if I (or anyone else) does not continually remind people, we will forget. So, in a sense, I'm scared. I'm scared because it seems that we, as a people, forget so quickly the atrocities people commit. My God, in 2008, I thought there was going to be a real break. Then, in less than two years, the same people who brought us this mess, won absolutely enormous victories at the national and especially the state level. I admit I have "bad news" or totalitarian fatigue. However, if our fellow countrymen can forget in 2 years what the 28 before that had wrought, how quickly will it forget the atrocities of an apparently and otherwise decent guy, who has done some good things.
