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.”
The president also compares the protesters to the Tea Party. “In some ways, they’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party," Obama says. "Both on the left and the right, I think people feel separated from their government. They feel that their institutions aren’t looking out for them.”

TIME's person of the year, 2012
I don’t want the government to take care of me. That’s my job.
Ugh.
None of which those morons are about.
This rhetoric sounds exactly like Mao ranting against Chang Kai Shek. Maybe some good farm work would be a good lesson for these folks.
Quick! Somebody photo-shop a pic of Bronco Bamma crapping on a cop car!
“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 feel no obligation to my “community”. I am obligated in this order: God, spouse, children, and immediate family. After that I pick and choose who I want to help and that list gets shorter every day.
“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.”
Those are his constituents.
Exactly right.
The reason why many of these people reverse the order is because they come from broken homes, which explains why the Left has worked to destroy the family by promoting no-fault divorce, the separation of fertility and intercourse, abortion and sodomy.
That’s the problem. There is no God in Obama’s equation for community organizers. It’s all about Government based on socialism.
“doing what you’re supposed to do”
That would be according to Agenda 21, Cap & Trade, etc.
“we want to set up a system” = an admission that he intends to do away with our current system.
That statement leaves out his 48%.
yeah, when the ows asshole start bombing building like your old boyfriend ayers did, I am sure you will have a hard-on for them. Well mr. muslim was it true that bill ayers was visiting you while bernadette was in the clink?
Of course. He believes in their goals: destroy capitalism.
Wait a minute, I did see him there. Smeared down the side of a cop car.
