When I think back to 2008 and how things have turned out it depresses me. President Obama had such an opportunity to be a catalyst for real change but opted to go a different route. Not often have my feelings on this subject been summed up so succinctly but Cornell West is able to do so in this Salon article Cornel West: “He posed as a progressive and turned out to be counterfeit. We ended up with a Wall Street presidency, a drone presidency”

Ok I am not even sure what this says about our country but it is just well, funny. The TLC series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo got higher ratings than the Fox coverage of the Republican National convention. To be fair when considering combined viewers the Republican National Convention had more viewers than "Honey Boo Boo" but still made for some funny headlines, like the title of this diary.

MF Global epitomizes what is wrong with our system, it is gamed completely to funnel wealth from individuals to the people that are "corporations" specifically financial institutions. So MF has gotten some play in the media but a few key points are not emphasized as they should be. The Wall Street Journal recently had an article called Money From MF Global Feared Gone in which they state a significant amount of funds may have "vaporized" magically.

Gallup released a poll showing that 20 percent of American's cannot afford enough food for their families and the number that can afford enough food is declining.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The percentage of Americans reporting that they had enough money to buy the food they or their families needed continued to decline in October, nearing the record low seen in November 2008. The percentage who did not lack money for food in 2011 fell to 79.8% from 80.1% in September, continuing a decline that began in April.

The title of this diary is a quote from Senator Lindsey Graham on provisions 1031 and 1032 in the defense authorization bill that redefines the battlefields our military engages in as being right outside our windows. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) states these provisions are necessary because “America is part of the battlefield.”

President Obama deserves a primary challenge but the question is who? Yesterday I floated Matt Damon but that did not seem to go over to well. The pro Obama crowd was especially adamant that Matt was not a good choice. I was called delusional, deranged an idiot, one person said I was only slightly more evolved than bacteria. The biggest issue with Matt Damon was lack of political experience so for today's "we need to primary President Obama diary" I decide to go with someone that holds office, that person is Al Franken.

I posted yesterday a diary on President Obama based off his record does not deserving the Democratic nomination for President. The poll results of my post were interesting with twenty percent more answering "yes" to the question of does President Obama deserve a primary challenge. A lot of people in that diary asked who could possibly challenge President Obama, I tell you who, Matt Damon. We need to draft Matt Damon to run for President. I know I will be blasted for this but hear me out below the fold.

Very interesting that the data from this article f New High: 93% Say They're Paying More for Groceries Than A Year Ago ties confidence in the Federal Reserve keeping inflation under control to high food prices being paid by the consumer. There are few key places the consumer notices inflation and food is one of them. Is there a correlation between the recent history of Quntitative Easing and what the consumer experience is at the grocery store?
