POPS "Feelin' Lazy" President Obama to CEOs: ‘We’ve Been a Bit Lazy’ By Jon Garcia Obama has taken the nation that elected him president to task for its own lackadaisical economic performance on the global stage. “We’ve been a little bit lazy over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — ‘Well, people would want to come here’ — and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new businesses into America,” he told the CEOs who are gathered on the sidelines of the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings, which the United States is hosting this year in Hawaii. “I think it’s important to remember that the United States is still the largest recipient of foreign investment in the world and there are a lot of things that make foreign investors see the U.S. as a great opportunity — our stability, our openness, our innovative free market culture,” he said. by Tom Maguire http://bit.ly/v7bMMT http://justoneminute.typepad.com

POPSMayor Bloomberg Brings Enhanced Interrogation Techniques to #OWS Get that? You can stay here – as long as you don’t sleep. Or lie down. Or get comfortable Resistance Occupy Wall Street has said that, considering the conditions, they will NOT be cooperating. They will resist being removed from the park at 7 am tomorrow. And they won’t be alone: Maida Rosenstein, president of UAW local 2110, said members of her chapter planned to begin gathering at Zuccotti Park in New York’s financial district at 7 a.m., possibly lending numbers to protesters’ ranks just as the cleaning is scheduled to begin. “If the mayor thinks he’s going to evict these protesters and end these protests, he needs to know that New Yorkers are watching,” Rosenstein said. “The unions are going to be there tomorrow and are also watching.”
