Preparing for this debate has got to be the most depressing thing Obama has ever done.

Occupy Wall Street made the world aware of Wall Street's nearly-obscene inequities. But, unfortunately, that has been about it. How much has really changed because of the 12-month-old movement?

The White House Press Corps members finally got the White House Press Conference they've been shouting for. And they only have themselves to blame for letting Obama turn much of it into a campaign speech by the questions they did and didn't ask.
If you know you're not going to blindly support the "left" in this coming election, see the movie '2016: Obama's America'. But, fair warning, it's disturbing – and quite frightening – to say the least.
