Hell I'd support OWS if for no other reason it shows the younger generation is showing some cajones about their future.Yet Pelosi and friends have expressed public support for the "Occupy" movement, which ostentatiously includes proud card-carrying Communists and other nut jobs.
If you are banking on that as the evidence that O. will get reelected think carefully. About 4 years ago there was a wide divide on whether Clinton or Obama was the candidate of choice for most of the Democrat voters. Once a choice was made at the convention lots of voters jumped from Clinton to Obama without hesitation. The same will happen with the Republicans.
In my opinion, Obama has shown![]()

The Republican candidates can say what they want, but our President has been remarkably effective:

They like him. They really like him. Despite all the attempts to demonize him, he remains a real and human person who genuinely connects with people, because that's who he is. Not the socialist, classist-warfare, angry black person, the conservative, religious right wants to paint him as...just as the community activist background he came from. I genuinely believe he wants to preserve and protect. I believe he is a great man in a beleaguered time. I believe he will be vindicated by history, not that that will mean much in the here and now. I sincerely wish people would stop hating him and move forward for the best of this country and stop with the bullshit partisan politics. That's the problem.
Wait until the news breaks about how much money the banks, wall street execs, and big business are pouring into campaign coffers. Former Goldman Sachs exec Jon Corzine has already raised over half a million for his campaign. If you follow the money, you'll see something is rotten in all over Denmark. Both parties stink of corporate influence peddling through their campaign support.

IMHO, at the end of the day...this will be an election cycle (from the primaries to the general) characterized by voting 'against' a candidate rather than 'for' one....and that is a scary, slippery slope. The ideology and messages on both sides are incoherent and muddy.
IMO, his messaging/PR is his chief failure, and it could well cost him reelection.
It's the entire democratic party.........
Democrats who run for president have to build their own pyramids all by themselves. There is no coherent, larger structure that they can rely on. Unlike Republicans, they don't simply have to assemble a campaign apparatus - they have to formulate ideas and a vision, too.
A Party Inverted
The slow recovery of the economy is a direct result of Republican opposition. No matter what the man tries to do, he is attacked. Yet, through it all, he has made progress.
