President Praises ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protest
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 8 Oct 2011 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/08/2011 11:54:55 AM PDT by John Semmens

As the “Occupy Wall Street” protest entered its fourth week it received a ringing endorsement from President Obama who contrasted the protesters’ “sincerity” and “selflessness” with the “hypocrisy” and “self-serving greed” exhibited by the so-called “Tea Party.”

“The Wall Street protesters have put their whole selves into the fight for social justice,” Obama declared. “They’re not just showing up when it can be conveniently scheduled between working hours and tending to the kids like the right-wing opponents of my policies. They’re here day and night, rain or shine. Their dedication is a model of what it will take to transform America.”

It wasn’t only the methods of the protesters that the President found to his liking. Some of their specific policy prescriptions also met with his approval.

“As admirable as their tactics have been, let’s not overlook their refreshingly innovative ideas,” Obama urged. “A lot of them parallel what we’ve been trying to do with our stimulus program. Their call for a trillion dollars in additional infrastructure spending and another trillion in ‘green’ spending confirm that I’m on the right track.”

“Even better, their suggestion that the link between work and income be severed is a bold stride toward an ideal I thought was still off in the distant future,” the president enthused. “I mean, the biggest infringement on a person’s freedom is usually the hours he has to work to put food on the table and a roof over his head. If government were to ensure that these needs would be met a new era in human liberty could be reached.”

The president reserved his highest praise for the protesters’ demand that all outstanding debts be cancelled. “I realize that we in government have been thinking too small,” Obama said. “Our squabbling over how high to raise the debt ceiling is petty and bourgeois. All we’re doing is postponing the resolution of the problem. If we cancel all outstanding financial obligations we would eradicate the oppressive burden of debt that is hampering our ability to govern. It is an ingenious remedy for our current and potential future fiscal problems.”

Democratic campaign advisors are hoping that the President’s adoption of the “Occupy Wall Street” agenda will revive his faltering reelection prospects. “A program to free people from wage slavery would liberate more people than Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation did,” campaign advisor David Plouffe boasted. “And debt forgiveness would free the 61% of Americans who are home owners from servitude to mortgage bankers. I think there are enough votes to be gotten there alone to give the President a landslide victory in November of 2012.”

The sad part is that this is probably exactly how he feels.

Humorous because, unfortunately, it contains more than a bit of truth.

The incompetent broken anus in chief pays people to congratulate him, so that he can congratulate them on approving him.

President Obama who contrasted the protesters’ “sincerity” and “selflessness” with the “hypocrisy” and “self-serving greed” exhibited by the so-called “Tea Party.”

I don't seem to remember being payed to go to Tea Party events. No free lunches, no free T shirts and no free ride to events. On the other hand, I see that people are being payed to "Occupy" places. The lefts 10/2 rally was full of payed people. Everything the left does is phony AstroTurf.

Unless they ask HIM personally to pay for them. Then it is a whole different deal...

Thanks John for another funny/scary ride through Satireville.

Fiction is no more strange than is truth.

Not only it contains truth, but it portrays exactly how the Democratic party behaves: if there was one person to metaphore the mental illness of these loonies and their self serving self congratulating loonies, this is it.

Thank you dear Zero.

Well, it’s no longer satire.

Here it is, the pResident’s hostility against those who work for a living unmasked, as he favors the layabout parasite rabble demanding their handout. But then the liberal elite have always been hostile toward those who really work - in spite of their propaganda as “being for the workers”.
He’s egging the punks on. He wants them to go violent. He knows that the Tea Party, the people who work, pay their taxes, take care of their own children, and clean up after themselves after their own protests, will not be the ones to initiate violence. Yet this Community Organizer in Chief denigrates those who live responsibly, and act responsibly. His true colors are showing. I thought Bill Clinton was arrogant. Obama has Bill beat.
CW2 is inevitable.

This isn't satire. He really did praise them.

The really sad part is that it is satire and is so close to being correct.
