SPITZER: "Maybe this will push the president to speak with a new more aggressive, dynamic voice.”

Dems endorse Occupy Wall Street in droves

As labor unions flocked to their side Wednesday for a massive demonstration in New York City, Occupy Wall Street picked up some fresh political capital with prominent Democrats, and they’re not ashamed to say it.

Speaking to The National Memo this week, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) made supportive comments. They were joined by Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Keith Ellison (D-MN) and fourth-ranking House Democrat John Larson, who issued similar statements of support.

Larson added: “The silent masses aren’t so silent anymore. They are fighting to give voice to the struggles that everyday Americans are going through.”

“This is organic,” Spitzer explained. “It is genuine. It is amassing more and more support day by day. It has touched a nerve and I think this could really begin to say to the Obama administration, ‘Hey you don’t understand what we, the public, are saying to you.’ He’s off there — he has been so flat on this issue of Wall Street and the economy. Maybe this will push the president to speak with a new more aggressive, dynamic voice.”

1. A movement isn't the same thing as a party.

And neither of them are anything like a revolution.

You can destroy any one of them by confusing it with the other two.

4. Screw anymore speechifying, hopefully it will spur him to get something done for the middle class.

Instead his admin seems bent on plowing ahead with bank mortgage immunity deals and whatnot, continuing exceptionally low interbank loaning even though the banks are not loaning to bizes or peeps....

Yeah, no more speech, get f'ing busy and LEAD for criminy sakes.
