NEW YORK (AP) -- Concerns over Wall Street practices and economic inequality that have led to sit-ins and rallies in New York and elsewhere reverberated up to the White House on Thursday, with President Barack Obama saying the protesters are expressing the frustrations of the American public.

Thousands of protesters, including many in union T-shirts, marched the day before in lower Manhattan, joined by labor leaders who say they will continue to support the protests with manpower and donations of goods and services.

They need to be in Washington. It is their President and Congress that is the problem. Not business. If these people want to close down big business, they will never get a job. Along with that, if these people are against big business, they need to throw away their lap tops and cell phones.

I’ve wondered if this is something George Soros engineered on ‘bam’s behalf.

Now that his purple-ness, the resonant one, the lite bringer, etc. has begun demagoging it, I’m convinced.

Wasn’t something like this going on in Israel a few weeks ago? Sundry misfits and ill-contents protesting something—mainly their being bummed about stuff.

Soros and Soros?

It's a sign that it's time to Go Galt!

Let the Tranzi (transnational progressives) scum have it and watch them flounder and die.

I'm kind of glad this is happening. The Obama crowd is defining their ‘enemies’, and they are isolating themselves, as well as declaring themselves. The scary part is that they don't feel the need to be concealed anymore. They must think that they have enough strength to openly pursue their ideological goals.

I truly believe that if you compared what Obama really thinks with what Bill Ayers thinks, you would probably find that Obama is more radical.

All part of the Obama campaigns strategy to encourage riots and a race war because it’s the only thing they think can get him elected. This will all backfire of course, but it will be interesting to watch it develop.

The average Joe is appalled at this crap.

They don’t want jobs:

Good Grief… Occupy Wall Street Imbeciles Release 13 Demands Including “$20 Minimum Wage” and “Across the Board Debt Forgiveness For All”

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

translation: Now I can go in front of these guys and tell them again that “I’m all that stands between you and the pitchforks” so they’ll open up the campaign fund spigots again.

I write extensively about anarchists, unions and illegal aliens being used as Obama’s proxy army in my book “Surviving Civil War II”. Illegal aliens are the source of the deaths that move this from civil disobedience to civil war. The unions act as brownshirts.
In a traditional civil war the military backs the regime but that won’t happen this time. So community organizer Obama has to use proxy armies, as he described in his National Civilian Security Force speech. CWII won’t look anything like CWI because the territory has changed in part to the Internet (see flash mobs and even Free Republc), and in part to monetary warfare. But it is still a war over slavery - debt bondage of your children to $100 trillion plus in unfunded welfare state largesse.

When will the world community demand that Obama step aside?

The world community needs to immediately recognize the Occupy Wall Street protesters as the legitimate government of the United States!

On the other hand, will congress now move forward with impeachment on grounds of sedition?

The Canadian environmental group behind Occupy Wall Street, Adbusters, has compared the Wall Street “revolutionaries” to America’s founding fathers. (Incidentally, those who opposed the American Revolution fled after the war to ... Canada.)

Notice how the OWS protesters are considered legitimate, whereas the Tea Party folks are labeled as terrorists by this administration.

They are the sign of the kickoff of his 2012 reelection strategy. Things are going to get ugly. The class warfare stuff is about to get as nasty as we’ve seen it in a generation. Hussein and the Democrats have a track record of failure and have to change the subject to have any chance of winning in 2012. They are going to pull out all the stops, and will have a billion dollars to work with.

when I was on Active Duty in the US Army we acknowledged the fact that inside every Communist made Washing machine was a black agitator. Wasn’t nothing racist just acknowledgement of what we saw ... I guess the Community Organizer in the Offal Oriface is a sign that history repeats.
