It was a society in stagnation, if not decline. Despite ostensible stability, its people — especially its young people — faced a future bleaker than the dark side of Pluto. For decades, the richest grew even richer, as national debt mounted, middle-class people tried to make ends meet, and upward mobility fell. Government failed to address these problems, and the governed felt increasingly disenfranchised — and partisan. Mass unemployment metastasized from a temporary illness to a chronic condition. One of its major cities decided to erect a permanent tent city, for a permanently excluded, marginalized underclass.
This isn't Tunisia, or Egypt — but America.

One has to keep in mind that Obama is very sensitive to the needs and desires of the minority and wants to make sure any government is responsive to them. Particularly the minority that has and controls the majority of the wealth in this country.
