More than 100 Occupy Wall Street protesters marched to a Midtown hotel on Wednesday night to protest a fund-raising event for President Obama.
Escorted by police vehicles as they helped snarl traffic across the Times Square area, beginning at Bryant Park, the group settled in front of barricades on the southwest corner of 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue, in view of the Sheraton hotel at which Mr. Obama was expected to appear by 9 p.m.
Demonstrators held signs that leveled some of the Occupy protest’s most pointed criticism to date of the president. “Obama is a corporate puppet,” one said. “War crimes must be stopped, no matter who does them,” read another, beside head shots of President George W. Bush and President Obama.

And afterwards the OWS protesters had their catered box lunches and a thank-you letter from the White House.
Looks like, to paraphrase rev Wright, his chickens are coming home to roost. I could be they see 0 as not being radical enough. Or, am I being too optomistic or are some OWSies finally beginning to realize where their wrath needs to be focused?
That’s another possibility, this could’ve been another staged event. Thank goodness for Twitter, eh, 0?
They should! It is Bam and the cronyism that he and his party pr takes in that is killing the Country, not “evil” capitalists.
I agree. It’s just like betting against the Jets, hate to do it, though Sanchez has been keeping it together lately, but you gotta listen to your instincts.
Well, they have part of the equation correct.
...There are useful idiots, and then there are those with genuine grievances, who, BTW I agree with on some of the issues. And, let me add, that comment is for all the stereotypee's out there!
OWS: "Down with Obama! Down with Obama!"
Obama: "You're what America is all about!"
OWS: "Yaaaaay Obama! Yaaaay!"
At the core of liberalism, and even how it is put into action is guerilla warfare. Liberals are always, “The ends justify the means.” Would you agree that if OWS were even slightly organized, it could be a monumentally effective revolt? Do you also think - It is just a bunch of misfits, now, to them, at last with a vehicle to feel relevant and proactive, no matter what they do, violent, or passive?
Is the OWS web-site, below, a pitiful testament to their philosophy?
Notice how it is all “who to blame” “protesters are destroying x! .. Yay!”
liberals don’t care about solutions, only blame and hostility.
I guess that will give him some money spread away for Re Elect Obama.
...Hope that clears it up. BTW, I, being out of work for a while, have plenty of time to go to one of these riots, but, haven't. Same reason I struggle with day to day basics, without the aid of any government assistance because I will starve before I give up my principles. I'm the 9% that wants to work, but haven't succeeded finding work of any kind, not for lack of trying. I'm out every day looking, not hanging out at OWS.
...Thanks for the link, I'll watch it after I finish todays job search. Wish me good hunting?
...Oh yea, a cup of tea at a T-Party rally in the cold is better than three hots and a cot behind bars!
Good luck!
Let us know what happens.
