White House Draws Closer To Occupy Wall Street, Says Obama Is Fighting For Interests Of The 99%

The White House continued its embrace of the Occupy Wall Street protests on Sunday, using the strongest terms yet to identify President Barack Obama with the growing movement.

In a call previewing Obama's upcoming bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama "will continue to acknowledge the frustration that he himself shares," about Washington's laggard response to the financial crisis.

Earnest added that while on the trip, Obama will make it clear that he is fighting to make certain that the "interests of 99 percent of Americans are well represented" — the first time the White House has used the term to differentiate the vast majority of Americans from the wealthy.

Obama Is Fighting For Interests Of The 99%...

Much like a parent fights for the interests of their child, even when in the wrong.

It’s in 99% of Americans’ interest for Obama to be run out of office on January 20th, 2013.

As Obama continues to associate himself with a global movement that has gone violent in its global protest, he finds himself on unsteady ground to be a sitting president siding with anarchists.

Obama will make it clear that he is fighting to make certain that the "interests of 99 percent of Americans are well represented" —

The moron-in-chief hasn't gotten the memo :
Just because a small group of filthy, hedonistic, unproductive, drug-addled idle losers announce that they represent 99% of the population, doesn't make it so.

If they in fact did, we would all be still grubbing for worms and bugs and wearing bark (mustn't molest the animals.) We would be burning faggots for light and burning dung for heat.

Just for the record, 99% of my family, friends and acquaintances oppose your "government jobs" bill, Hussein, along with 90% of the programs you have advanced, and the massive deficit you have accumulated.

Get a clue!

Maybe SPENDAHOLIC Obama will send care packages to the various OBAMAVILLES his policies have spawned. Winter is a-comin’!

He gave the 99%’s money to the 1%. He called it “TARP 2.”

Geez, memories are short.

Dear Obama, leave the revolution to the professionals. All you are gonna do is get a whole bunch of occupying counter revolutionaries killed, while causing the US to slip into another great depression. Of course, that could be your sinister plan all along.

Probably the biggest lie of his presidency. This is what he means by “audacity”.

Oh, yes , the evil usurping anchor baby, buoyed by the power of the oval office has truly morphed into Darth Seditious.

He is formenting rebellion against a constitutionally elected government.

You are exactly right Persevero. If the OWS movement has any clue at all, they will realize that Obama is totally owned by Wall Street.
