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.

Draws closer? Hell, it was his buddy Soros that engineered it!

BTW, this will be his final undoing.

Rush is right. Obama is trying to demagogue popular unrest — violent popular unrest. They want nothing less than to force a confrontation that will result in chaos.

Goodwin’s Law to one side, it’s a pattern that has been used before.

LOL!!! Obama is a big part of the problem. He supports the very top (Warren Buffet and other globalists) and the very bottom. He despises the middle class and is doing his best to destroy us. He, the rest of the dems, and many of the globalist republicans are the problem.

Seems to me he’s running a “primary like” campaign. His progressive base was leaving him so he’s throwing them some red meat by tacking hard to the left. He’ll begin to soften his message after the convention next year to appeal to independents. Not a bad strategy, and yes he’s pure evil, but tactically it’s his best bet.
