Paul Moreno, writing in the Wall Street Journal, recently said that Obama will follow Franklin D. Roosevelt's reelection strategy of 1936, during the Great Depression. "Roosevelt and his advisers blamed the recession on a 'capital strike,' trying to deflect public alarm about the United Auto Workers' sit-down strikes—really illegal occupations of assembly plants—onto the shoulders of corporations.

Dummies, The cost to these cities will cut services to the taxpayers and eliminate Union jobs.

Each day OWS is sinking in the polls.

After the public sees what it is costing their cities budgets it will get worse.
