    Exclamation Bernanke "sympathizes" with Occupy potestors.

    http://www.advisorone.com/2011/11/02...py-wall-street



    Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that he sympathized with the frustration of Occupy Wall Street protestors as U.S. jobs market weakness persists and the nation’s unemployment rate remains elevated.




    Anyone else find this concerning? Is this something a professional would do?

    You are winning when the King himself gives you lip service. The message has reached the head of the dragon. By simply commenting, he has said more than he knows.

    Bernanke, like the puke he is, is legitimizing the worst of what is going on. It tells me for sure that there is an element of marxists, fascists and socialists planted within the ranks and they are who will get the media coverage. The rape and pillage will be down played as will the freedom/constitution loving elements within the protests.
    But what weapons can you use to dispossess someone who will not accept anything except Holy Scripture interpreted according to his own rules?...Where Lutheranism reigns, learning dies. They seek only two things: good pay and a wife. The gospel offers them the rest — that is, the power of living as they please.

    I understand now how Arius and Tertullian and Wickliff were driven into schism by malicious clergy and wicked monks.

    I can see him having empathy, because according to his biography, he is a man of humble beginnings, and can't be construed as anything else by those who flip the term "Elite" around.

    It is delightfully ironic that he is a product of the so called 99%, and of public school where he worked average jobs as a youth. Not bad for a son of a pharmacist from South Carolina.

    His policies in his current position, and decisions in the near past are absolutely up for debate.

    But, boy you have to love this country, when at times based on shear meritocracy,that the kid who was in the local high school marching band, who worked at South Of The Border, waiting tables to pay for college, makes it to the level of distinction, where he is today.

    The dude worked his ass off.

    Not quite the image of Biff and Buffy, is it.

    And Hitler was a corporal, then a starving artist, before his last job.
