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.

Thanks for posting this.

One thing I’ve noticed is that there has been a paucity of polls showing wide support for the flea baggers.

Call me suspicious but I bet they are polling very low in public support.

Obama is the king of crony capitalism (Solyndra), which is partly what Occupy Wall Street is fussing about. They’re also mad about the big banks getting a bailout but they were forced to take money so that Zero could regulate them into oblivion. Once you take money from the government and you’re a business, watch out because you just gave up your control.

Greatly anticipating the date the Obama Hillbilly regime vacates our House.
