ran 3.3 miles
Today ends week sixty-six of running against Obama. I ran 25.3 miles this week, averaging 3.61 miles per day.
“I understand the frustrations being expressed in those protests. In some ways, they’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party. Both on the left and the right, I think people feel separated from their government. They feel that their institutions aren’t looking out for them.”
Do you see what he did there, ever so subtly? Our president just compared Occupy Wall Street to the Tea Party. He put in the average voter’s mind a seed of relation between these two movements when there is nothing similar about them. Barack Obama should be comparing OWS to the protests, riots, crime, pillaging, and vandalism in Greece. That is the direction his compass is pointed toward and that is what these occupiers see on their televisions and feel compelled to mimic.
At the Tea Party’s peak leading into the Mid-term elections of 2010 (in which they accomplished much without breaking any laws), many of the politicians, namely Barack Obama, who currently sympathize with those involved in this parasitic OWS movement, were waiting on the edges of their seats for any one Tea Party member to perform a single questionable action that they could blow a whistle on. It never happened. There is a list of hundreds upon hundreds of lewd and violent acts that OWS has committed but these actions are somehow deemed acceptable.
What were these people doing before OWS?! They’ve been at this for, what, three months now? It is hard for me to even make my Tea Party meetings once a month on one single night after work, much less sleep in a tent and beat on drums and create havoc for three straight months.
Maybe they’ll beat their drums a little harder and vandalize with a bit more vigor now that their supportive president is taking a seventeen-day vacation. Aloha!
681.6 miles to go.
Here is what happened one year ago on Day97.
