"I for one do not excuse Wall Street [reform’s] mediocrity," Nation executive editor Richard Kim explained Sunday morning in a lively panel discussion on Up With Chris Hayes. Joining Hayes and Republican presidential nominee Buddy Roemer, Kim cross-examined the purported similarities between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party movement, and urged the Democrats to fight for more aggressive financial reform.
