in his meeting with Jesse Jackson at a Chicago church that somebody posted a link to earlier. He named 4 or 5 major cities in the U.S. that have sued or threatened to sue Wall Street over interest rate swaps Wall Street used to screw cities out of hundreds of millions of dollars. They have all received settlements. Rahm Emanuel in Chicago will not go after Wall Street, perhaps because he made something like $18 million in a little over 2 years working on Wall Street, perhaps because he gets enormous campaign contributions from him.

with those in the Lower Classes that lose their homes or retirements? It's not personal, it's just business.

It just feels historic. It's his tempo, the experience of having refined over and over the topics. And what topics. All crucially important. And the crowd is a funky diversity.

He is leading Americans into participating. It's tremendous.
