“One of the co-founders of the Occupy Wall Street movement has called on Barack Obama to resign as president, and “appoint Eric Schmidt CEO of America,” Alex Hern reports for The Guardian. “”
“Justine Tunney, a self-styled ‘champagne tranarchist,’ is now a software engineer at Google, but remains involved with Occupy Wall Street, through the occupywallst.org website, which she created,” Hern reports. “In the petition, which currently has two signatures (a far cry from the 195,000 who follow the Occupy Wall Street twitter account Tunney started in 2011), she calls on Obama to arrange a national referendum to: Retire all government employees with full pensions; Transfer administrative authority to the tech industry; Appoint Eric Schmidt CEO of America.”
Hern reports, “Yasha Levine, a reporter for Silicon Valley publication Pando Daily, noted the seeming discrepancy between Tunney’s former anarchist beliefs and her current role at Google. Since her arrival at the firm, he writes, ‘she has become an astroturfer par excellence for the company, including showing up in a comment section to bash my reporting on Google’s vast for-profit surveillance operation.'”

And this is why “Occupy Wall Street” was never taken seriously.
One of the more astute series of comments I’ve read in a while.
Wait… first we occupy Wall Street, then what? We suggest one of Wall Street’s favorite sons to run our country? Seems legit. “We are the 99%. Let’s pick a 1%er to lead us.” Hypocrite much?!?
Eric? Ok. Now it’s not only Eric who is having a moral issue (an evil minded core but in gentleman disguise), it’s the bigger part of Google which has gone brainwashed and do evils.
CEO of the USA? Come on… Dun make me throw up.
Gotta hate it when we have a pesky thing called a constitution that does not give Barack that kind of power. Of course that probably won’t stop him anyway. He has ignored the limitations placed on him by the Constitution during the whole time he has been in office.
