We now have an "Occupy the Board Room!" website, hence things should go to the next logical level.

That's right, check it out, here. The Board Room. Do you think Obama would finally pay some attention if there were an "Occupy the White House" effort by those disgruntled with the Wall Street bailout and the banking cartel's self serving lust for power and for all the wealth? It might jog the man to embrace more than a few long-overdue politically motivated present bandaid executive orders which he simply could have issued January 2009, were he to have then been sincere. He was, after all, no less the Chief Executive back then that he is now. He could have started discourse with a few real and powerful orders reaching beyond what's been offered us recently. Back then, what effective things were possible instead of his singing his Blue Dog Blues bit for so long, and embracing a deceptive let-us-reason-together approach starting from somewhere quite to the right of what the majority of the people want to see while then subsequently and dramatically giving inch-by-inch concession and retrenchment to those on the far right. Yielding ground from a right of middling start while pointing to "them" as "unreasonable" just seems to be more politics than substance.

Why did he do nothing when he had party majorities in each house? It was because he wanted to do nothing and was in harmony that way with each of his majorities in each house. Now with a GOP majority in the House, he can posture and blame. He could not do that when the forces of repression of the regular people were, in the majority, in his own party.

He had no choice but to diddle, unless of course, had he meant "Change" when he sloganeered "Change."

Final question - if Warren Buffet is sincere about how it is greatly unfair that he paid a lower percent of his income in taxes than many who worked for him and were earning far, far less, why does he not simply give the government more of his money first, before speaking out about the obvious injustice of things?

Do as I do almost always has differed from do as I say. A true cynic might even say that Dayton is a bit relieved by the last election turn in the Minnesota House and Senate, by having an excuse to no longer be saying, "Tax the Rich." A cynic might also find it disingenuous when the likes of Paul Ryan over-demonstrate personal Angst over "class warfare," when it was the Gipper on his white horse who long ago started it by assisting the rich in looting the rest of us, and so on, without Ryan until now noticing that class warfare was a current event. Buffet did note that. But beyond saying so, did anyone notice whether he'd actually laid down any war weapon? I am unaware of any Berkshire Hathaway operation turning out "class plowshares" via lessening any stockpiles of swords of wealth. The firm seems more focused in wielding its stockpile of swords of wealth, to gain further wealth. But that's only an outsider's view. Unlike Crabgrass readers, I do not have a big portfolio stuffed with cozy BH shares.
