In an interview that will be aired tonight on ABC News, President Obama continues to express his commitment to the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

“The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded,” Obama tells ABC News. “And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”

What a bunch of intellectual gobbledygook.

[Trueblackman]

So we should side with a bunch of anti-Semitic, Socialists dirtbags?

“...we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded...”

Okay. So knock off the bailouts, cut my taxes, and drastically reduce the size of the federal government.

And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”

In Obama-speak that means look out you hard workin, gun and Bible clenching fools...I need to redistribute more of what you have to get reelected.

Obama is telling the rich bankers “DONATE TO ME” or I’ll have my minions protest at your house, and threaten your kids!

The parallels to the rise of the National Socialist German Workers PArty keep writing themselves, don’t they?

“And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”

I’m confused. Is he Talking about the OWS bunch who are reckless (conflict with police),Irresponsible (want their loan paid off by the tax payers), who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities (donate time and money to the needy or won’t find a job) or is he talking about the Tax Payers

In the eyes of a Socialist, anybody with a job is “rich and not paying “their fair share”.

Breaking News: Obama, Nazis, and Communists all on same side.

Or not so breaking, depending on how closely you’ve been paying attention.

Why Obama Can’t Win on Wall Street

(Newser) – Here’s a president who bailed out the big banks, protected their pay, and helped hold them together—yet “Wall Street hates Barack Obama,” writes Annie Lowrey at Slate. Why? It’s simple: “Wall Street is doing terribly,” and in a bad economy, “everybody blames the incumbent.” Sure, banks are more than surviving, “but they are not thriving in the way they were a year or even six months ago,” Lowrey notes.

Corporate profits approached “an all-time peak” last year, while this year, reports suggest the banks are making just a third of their 2010 profits. Banks’ stocks have dropped 30% this year, according to one index. There are a range of reasons for this, from Europe’s debt to consumer spending, Lowrey observes. But what investors are “most worried” about is “government policy missteps.” In short, “Wall Street is, all of a sudden, suffering a bit, and like so many Americans, they blame the president.”

Look for all this to end in a very ugly manner.

[Iron Munro]

Yes, Obama no doubt senses they share some of his core values.

[MrB]

Oh, they (0bama’s people) intend for it to get ugly, and violent.

[airborne]

"We are on their side."

And by "their" side, 0bama means the protesters.

And the Wall Street bankers.

[EEGator]

Obama is on the same side as the communist party, the nazi party, and Mumia Abu Jamal. Truly wonderful company.
