Does anyone even care what Bob Cesca says anymore? Of course not. His relentless Obama cheerleading has made him look like a complete fool in the long run. With OWS heating up, Cesca looks more out-of-touch with the progressive movement than ever before. Such is the price to be paid by stubborn Obama cheerleaders.

Yes, someone does care. Me, for one. He's brilliant.

I love listening to Bob's podcasts, but if you don't think he's the textbook definition of an Obama cheerleader, then I don't know what to tell you.

Real question is how few are there who care what he and others like him have to say.

Why wouldn't the Department of Homeland Security be involved in coordination of crackdowns of the Occupy Encampments? Isn't it logical that DHS would work with local law enforcement on intervention strategies? People are being extremely provincial in their thinking if they don't acknowledge the fact that the Occupy Movement is Global and the energy of it is having an impact on governments ... even Frank Luntz said that the Occupy Movement is having an influence. You don't think that the diplomatic communication between countries like England, Spain, Israel, Greece, Italy etc and the United States hasn't been tense over the influence of the Occupy Movement? That the images of Americans in the streets aren't further inspiring Occupiers in other parts of the world?

The Occupy Movement has international implications for the United States, to think the Federal Government isn't involved in coordination is naive. And, furthermore, like it or not, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Nepalitano (who I haven't seen in public for quite sometime), is a member of the President's Cabinet ... there is no getting around that.

There are FOIA requests peculating through the system on this, and I want to see what that leads to and see if the bashing Michael Moore and Naomi Wolf on this issue is warranted. Not to say I don't have confidence in the excellence of the investigative reporting in the US, but it does have a pitiful track record in the last decade (except for rare examples).

If the OWS does not boycott the Koch Brothers and start register voters then anything else they do will be for nothing, if anyone thinks equality is the issue with the Government and the middle class and poor wait until you get a look at the new Republican party!

Bob and Chez probably believe that the 7.7 Trillion taken out of the treasury and given to banks without telling congress while a paltry 700 billion TARP bailout outraged the public.

Yeah, right Blind Willie McTell.

Probably believe what?

You didn't finish composing your sentence. Not nitpicking, but your first sentence makes no sense.

Exactly. Neither does the second. Point: stockholm syndrome does that to everyone. Good eye.
