These protests seem to be coming as a surprise to many. It is about time that people learn that the Constitution of our land does not make a President able to work miracles when he has a Congress whose sole goal is to make him fail and be a one-term President. It stand to reason, for anyone who still has some, that people will eventually realize that the country belongs to all of us and we all need to pitch in where it counts and where we might finally be heard rather than being censored by the 'fair and balanced' media outlets.
The slogans of Occupy Wall Street and Take the Bull by the Horns is beginning to resonate in many sites as the middle class is finally uniting rather than splitting off into political groups, their own depression and feeling suppressed and alone, and the fear that they really have no voice. But we have learned that there is strength in numbers and that is just what is coming forth...great numbers of people who are tired of the Republican lies and obstructionism and the Democrats not being able to fight them.
The RSN (Reader Supported News) has an interesting article anyone interested in this process should read. Click here.

The only surprise about the "Occupy Wall Street" protests is that they did not happen 3 years ago. The 2008 bailout is a violation of the left's most cherished principles, and yet we did not see significant liberal protests against it until recently.
At the time, the bailout had wide bipartisan support; both Obama and McCain voted for the bill, which was then signed by then president George Bush. During this vote, the few critics of these bailouts were from the far left (e.g. Ralph Nader) and from the libertarians, most notably Ron Paul and Bob Barr.
My most recent post examines the fallacies behind the whole bailout, "Too Big to Fail" mentality; See
