It was a good idea had they use that opportunity and discontent as the Tea Party used their fake movement and won the congress and forced most right-wingers to cater to them or else they be voted out. Sadley from the begining the movement was doomed so many interest were united true but they couldn't propell the movement forward , the idea to just sit and hand out leftiest/enviromental/progressive literature was not enough, once they have done that for weeks they should have moved to Washington just like the tea party and occupied Washington itself.
The bigest problem with the movement was the anti-hierarchy anarchesit these kept the movement headless , there was no body in control , no president or head or groups of repersentitives, all fox news had to do was to bring in high on weed hibie to dismiss the movement as a crackpot and nut cases.
Another problem with the movement is the betrayl of the democratic party and the labour unions , had these joined the moevment just like the republican politicisans supported the Tea Party , then the movement would have translated into a real power and would have swept the nation. Sadly the Manchurian candidate Obama kept well away from the movement and Nancy Pelosy and the DNC establihsments, few great men supported the movement, Noam chomsky , Josephe Stigletz.
The sadest part is most of the O.M were honest decent people , and they were disappointed and next time they wont come out when the occassion demands. Thats why i abhore this imposter Obama and seeth when ever I see naive working class pandering to this traitor, Obama has broken the back of the working/middle class and the left it will never recover it might take a generation to rais again.
