Relax. In America riots are bad for the people in office. The real 99% (Middle America) don’t like them and want them squashed. The longer this goes on the more the average voter just wishes all these problems would go away...starting with Obama. I’m loving it actually.

It is a bit scary..However, if the mobs really turn violent, you will see the majority rise up and then, we will get a glimpse just how few their numbers are in comparison. I do not believe the military will carry out orders to turn on good Americans. Yesterday, I had three repairmen in my house. All were concerned and talking about these mobs on Wall Street. The dismay with the Obama administration is palpable and unbelievable.
As I say, this is history repeating itself.
What’s weird about this is I think you are right, rioting almost always drives the electorate rightward.
A better tactic for Obama would be to tell these people to chill, then to send Eric Holder on a witch hunt to find a couple of Wall Street Banker types they can perp walk before the election. Abuse Executive power to force banks to drop their debit card fees, freeze foreclosures, and start taking steps to put usury caps back on credit card interest. All that would rebound much more to Obama’s political benefit than a riot.
So....why is he doing it?
