Wall Street Occupiers: "They're giving frustration a voice," Obama says he understands
The Daily Mail ^ | 10/06/2011 | Mark Duell

Posted on 10/06/2011 6:11:19 PM PDT by ealgeone

Barack Obama has come perilously close to endorsing the fast-growing Occupy Wall Street protests. The President today said those holding sit-ins and rallies in New York and across the U.S. are expressing the frustrations of Americans over Wall Street practices and economic inequality.....

I can’t help to think Occupying Wall Street is nothing more than Chicago style shake down. If Wall street would just get behind getting Obama re-elected, all the protesters would go gone by the end of the week.

Yeah the tea party is finally sick and tired of footing the bill for these freeloaders, and we are the villans. Bizarre to say the least.

Uh, you mean he’s not mocking them and calling them vulgar names like he did with the Tea Party? I’m shocked.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as ‘bad luck’.” Robert A. Heinlein

he is so frustrated because this is extortion like Jackson and Sharpton does.

We wall know wall street gave more to the left
they are not now.
obama knows he needs a lot of money and wall street is not paying up like in the past.

So they get all the groups out, homo right,s women right,s, green energy, code pink, commies, unions, layabouts, pro protesters, end the war, end the death penalty etc

Now they all of a sudden get pissed off with the elfts biggest donors and go to Ny city to pick up their pre made signs and get free food.

NO CHANCE

THIS IS A SHAKEDOWN OF WALL STREET

Behind the scenes I guarantee that Van Jones is talking to wall street saying give us money and the protests go away.

This is B/S

"They're giving frustration a voice," Obama says

That may be true but the Usual Suspects Party joining together with the Useful Idiots Party to form the Wee Wee Party is still a goofy idea. IMHO.

he’s shaking down wall street for money seeing as they are not giving as much as usual.

They get all their lefty groups out there and the dopes have no idea what they’re doing but the Van Jones etc are talking to wall street and saying give us money and the protests stop.

Think about it, why would unions protest wall street when their 401k’s are at wall street and then working men and women protest along side a bunch of smelly hippies and all the homo groups etc

this is extortion, just like Van JOnes banning sponsors of Beck and FOX

just said the same

this is a extortion shakedown of wall street and that is why the homo groups anti war, women rights, code pink , end the war, commies, etc have no clue why they’re there the idiots.

Meanwhile they stand outside and Van Jones is getting money off wall street by this way seeing as wall street is not hiring and giving campaign cash

I had a guy walk in to my shop that looked like he lost a fight with a staple gun. A fully loaded one at that. Had disks the size of Oreo cookies in his ears. Of course this would not be complete with out purple hair, leathers and combat boots.

it was 87 degrees out to day.

He wanted an application. I said I am sorry, I am not hiring at this time. He demanded an application. I said ok. Let me ask you a few questions first.

I proceeded to point to one of the animals in my shop that had what it was clearly printed on the tag on the tank, what kind of animals is this? He could not answer.

I pointed at a piece of equipment that had it’s purpose printed right on the box. What does this do? He could not answer.

he headed for the door.

I honestly don’t think the guy could read. I felt bad for him in a way. If he attended school, even as a high school drop out, he should have been able to read. His appearance was best suited for one of those goth type retail joints in the mall. I suspect he was out looking for applications just to say he applied to keep the unemployment flowing.

This guy was maybe 22-25 years old. My wife turned to me and said “hun, he’s going to be paying our social security”

Ya..right.

A narcisistic totalitarian in the White House who enjoys full obedience by a compliant media complex (PRAVDA). A Senate that has effectively destroyed the voice of the Republic with Authoritarian tactics that it uses to pass legislation that the people reject. What’s next, a 21st century version of the Reichstag fire, followed by declaration of Marshall Law, the recruitment of the wall street occupiers to server as the Obama youth revolution unit, fully paid for by your tax dollars, where they will serve as the Presidents (brown shirt) cvilian armed forces and will be charged with collecting up all the bad bankers and corporate CEO’s, as well as other nefarious political plotters, opponents, racists that dare question the president. Gulags, I guess the left will have found a new use for GITMO. If America will not willingly transform to a Socialist economy then it will be forced upon it through revolution. This is the creed of the Marxists which are now the normal mainstream liberals.

You seen Hank Williams Jr. was more right than even he could have guessed.

I do like your idea of billing the DNC for the garbage fee for these juvenile gutter-rats. Soon they will be Adult Career Debtocrats, and it is high time that they take responsibility for their actions, or in this case, lack of action.
