[pp.int.general] 15th Octobre -> Occupy Together

[Sina Amoor Pour]

Yes, he could do a lot of good stuff, but he doesn't. And that was my point.
Even having the greatest political power in the world does not mean you can
make the changes you want. I believe that if you want real political power
you have to have at least two things: A lot of money and a network of
contacts with people at powerful positions in society. You have to be the
puppet master. Obama is not the puppet master, he is the puppet.
