6. I was very optomistic when candidate Obama was running for president.

My expectations were high, thinking that a Democratic president could undo most of the damage done by his predecessor and he has in some areas. But other areas he has embraced the stands of Bush/Cheney and expanded on them. He betrayed the Left in a number of areas. I was intentionally naive.

With Sen Sanders I feel that he is an important part of the Populist Movement, but he isn't everything. I know that it will be a very hard, dirty, uphill fight against Goldman-Sachs and the Wall Street boys.

I understand how you feel. It's the Movement. It's time.
