mic check goes Presidential

[Mark Kohut]

henry, like joe I have not heard where and when Obama criticized police violence against Occupiers or UC Davis students or .....
I get lots of focussed news and a google search also reveals no mention.
 
since Homeland Security was involved (somehow) in at least being aware of the coordianted Occupy crackdowns, 
I am still holding the Obama admin liable for their silence until you prove to me I should apologize.......
 
(I, by the way, am all in accord with your belief in democratic action to make a difference but I see Occupier presence
as a quiet action statement)

Unless one purposely ignore what Obama does in the pursuit of continuing to believe that he doesn't do any of the things that you want him to do, then you must have heard that Obama has criticized the violence by police against occupiers.  I used to only expect blinders on the right, but the years (and actually considering what I read of Pynchon and others) have, for better or for worse, shown me that the left is almost equally in love with hearing it's own voices an ignoring facts, and more's the pity.

The point is to hold all politicians accountable to defending  and enforcing  constitutional legal process, which is, after all the job description. Why don't you explain to us Henry why poor Obama can't tell the Police to use restraint and to stop  beating and pepper spraying peaceful protestors in public places?

If OWS wants any real cred, why isn't it gathering and distributing food in areas of people who are too poor (15% of USA is classified as in poverty) to go camp out and travel with them?  How about educating people about the history of socialism and civil disobedience in the USA?
