Occupy Wall Street is going nowhere without leadership

(CNN) - I would not take anything away from the success of Occupy Wall Street in bringing so many people together in Lower Manhattan and elsewhere. It is quite an accomplishment. Notwithstanding what has happened so far, the hard work of leadership has not yet begun. It is relatively easy to get disempowered, angry, frustrated people together to rail against a wide range of enemies and scapegoats. It is quite another to effect change.

The System Worked

Yes, it was ugly and messy, like watching sausage being made, as the cliché goes. Nevertheless, not only did the system work, but it worked the way it was designed to work. With its two year terms, the House of Representatives is designed to be, well, representative, and to reflect popular will. The Senate is designed to be a little more statesmanlike, to take a somewhat longer view. Both performed as scripted. The deadlock and stalemate that was so painful to watch was reflective of the country as a whole. These are tough issues. Everyone is making their best guess. The country has never been in this spot before and no one knows the right answer.
