And yet, he was one hell of a salesman during the last campaign season. He sold me and I voted for him. Then he collapsed into weakness during his Presidency. I am tired of strong words. I want strong action. If Obama wants my vote, then I want a demonstration of strength that directly benefits the 99%.
* For starters, I want him to fire Geithner.
* A good second act would be to denounce Bernanke and tell the world he won't renominate him and the he should cease and desist with all monetary destabilization programs including flattening the yield curve, ZIRP, and money printing. He should remind Bernanke that his primary and indeed only role should be monetary stability and safe-guarding the purchasing power of the almighty dollar.
* The third and final bit of evidence I want of his strength is an indictment of a banking executive from a top 10 bank. Pick one: JP Morgan, Goldman Sach, Bank of America, Citibank or Bank of New York. Any will do. They are all criminals and have been involved in systemic fraud and theft. Show us he's on our side.

Talking and speeches was for 2008. He's President now, so only action will prove his strength. If he does that, then I may give him another chance at my vote.
