Mayday 1971: Most arrests in US history

9. One small detail I feel the need to point out - you say:

The problem of the 1% was not addressed to any significant degree during that period of time.

Although it is true that there were no Presidential addresses about the problems heaped on our society of the 1%, the fact is that almost all of Obama's significant appointments involved allowing and even promoting the 1% to further their hold on our society.

At a time when we need sensible legislation as far as involvement of the Big Financial Firms, we instead got Tim Geithner. He went from his criminal behavior at the New York Fed to the head of Treasury. The Big Banks have become bigger, and de ent people who would have implemented decent policies got to oversee much smaller projects instead. (Neil Barofsky and Eliz. Warren come to mind as a couple of decent people who should have been given much more important positions.)

At at time when we need policies that support family farms, the policies that came down from the Federal Reserve and Treasury meant tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of small family farms went belly up. They couldn't make it through the summer of 2009 without loans.

And meanwhile, Obama appointed Monsanto clone, Mike Taylor, putting him into the top position at FDA, There Taylor has furthered Big Pharma and Big GMO interests.

BP was left alone to actually be in charge of the cleanup resulting from its failures to operate safely. Now reports are coming out as to the fact that the marine life in The Gulf has been so adversely affected that the shrimp and other critters are born without eyes.

Despite Fukushima, Obama plans on offering up some 58 billions of dollars to the nuclear power industry,. so they can do the same damn thing they did in Japan.

And his DOJ, IRS' attacks on the public approved Medical Marijuana clinics in my state indicate that something is really really off about this President. He has set the rights of patients to have cheap ;products to help them deal with their ailments at least fifteen years.
