And just exactly what is Mika's daddy trying to say?
Can someone translate that into plainspoken English for me, please?

10. I did hear him say on Morning Joe that he was surprised that people hadn't taken to the
streets here in the U.S., back when the uprisings began in the MIddle East. In this video, however, he appears to be speaking gibberish. I have seen and heard him on MJ and he is not either. He is usually very clear and very strong in his opinions. We should remember he worked for a Democrat in the White House (Carter)...

Seriously though, you are most indeed correct.

9. It sounds ot me that he is voicing the fear that this will get out of hand.
Which it easily could - especially where we see the huge crowds overseas. But Corporatism can also get out of hand and it still could. I think if I had to choose which I would rather take my chances with it would be the 99%. We have already seen how corporatism works in WWII Japan,Germany and Italy.

Here in the USA I think the protests will keep it from getting out of hand. I have been very afraid of Tbagger control and that is what was happening before we stood up to say no.
