Re: my RT of a link from @occupyUSA:

After I retweeted it, I read deeper to find this:
No, President Obama has NOT “endorsed” the Occupy movement. This is a sure sign of an anti-Occupy, anti-Obama smear piece. Obama has, in fact, aprropriated SOME of the language of SOME of the major themes of Occupy, but he has never singled it out as a movement he endorses. He speaks in generalities about how he supports the rights of the Occupy movement to speak their consciences and to protest, but he has never affirmed the movement’s core message, which is to say that the system is rigged against the increasingly hollow claims of the “American dream is within reach of all, equally”. And wherever he veers close to sounding supportive of the warning signs to which Occupy points, his and the administration’s actions do not match the rhetoric.
I have much more to say, and I’m going to read on in this article, but I keep forgetting that @OccupyUSA is only a BOT that aggregates anything and everything about Occupy, much of it right wing garbage talk.
