Second Chance For Democrats

This is a second chance for President Obama and the Democrats.  The occupy Wall St. protests continue and have begun to spread. President Obama wasted so much political capitol on "treating" the Wall St bankers so cordially the fist time around. He has a chance to put this protest into its proper and historic perspective. Just give the protesters the due coverage they deserve. Main St. media outlets either completely ignored  the the protesters or said they were nothing but a shamble of hippies protesting nothing.  But now 3 weeks in, they  can't be ignored so easily. Even NPR, that bastion of news coverage completely ignored the protesters for 9 days! Can you imagine?  Any other story that was ignored for that long people would've been surely wondering why. I still am wondering why?  This could be the biggest news story this decade if these protests continue to swell and gain momentum. We could be witnessing an historic event here.  Real change could take place. Or, like civil rights marches of the1960's , police could try to strong-arm the people and REALLY turn violent. Only time can tell. Russian TV was the only network even covering the protests that I saw.

But now President Obama and the Dems have a chance to turn up the heat on the GOP. All the things the protesters are fighting for are things the GOP is against.  Go Mr Obama!  Turn up the heat on those who want it business as usual as that isn't going to work.  We need fundamental change in our banking system immediately. It needs to be more fair for us on the lower end of the financial spectrum.  Lets hope the protests get things evened out!!
