Obama plans to turn anti-Wall Street anger on Mitt Romney, Republicans
Washington Post ^ | Oct 14, 2011 | Peter Wallsten

President Obama and his team have decided to turn public anger at Wall Street into a central tenet of their reelection strategy.

The move comes as the Occupy Wall Street protests gain momentum across the country and as polls show deep public distrust of the nation's major financial institutions.

He can't run on his record so he is inciting class warfare - I wouldn't be surprise to find out he is willing to incide actual riots, just so he can retain power.

He’s going to turn anger against an also-ran who will be irrelevant in a few months? Fine with me. Interesting how even the Demonrats are trying to push Romney’s “inevitability”...hmm...I wonder why that would be, if what the media says is true (only Romney can beat Obama!). Oh right, it’s a LIE, the media and dems WANT us to nominate Romney.

Typical commie bull**** from the typical commie. Soetoro needs to remind them that the commie DemocRATS now control all of the money and corporations in America so they might as well lighten up.

He’ll have as much luck with that as he had getting the Olympics to Chicago.

What’s Obama going to do when Romney and Perry are not the GOP nominees?

Go for it. I think the conservative backlash will be something Obama and his crew could never visualize. I envision a political Hiroshima in Obama’s future.

Watch for Obama to start blaming “international Zionist bankers” for all of the problems that his own policies have caused.

Watch for another Freudian slip, just like with his billionaires paying the same tax rate as Jews, I mean, janitors faux pas...

He is running off an old plan and his administration is under serious scrutiny. If it isn’t “Fast and Furious”, It will be the DOE. His transparent administration is blowing up.

Exactly. That is the message from Zero: Rich (read: Jews) New York (read: Jews) bankers (read: Jews) have stolen the wealth of the country. Spread that wealth around a little bit. Some have to give up so that other can have their fair share.

Also a zero sum game. Rats don’t believe in the creation of wealth - just chopping up the pie to buy off their voters.

The idea of “Occupy Wall Street” started in Canada with a group of anti-Jewish socialists who think that all NY bankers are Jewish money lenders.

Funny... We are only ten weeks away from the primaries. They put all this time and money into the idea of Romney being the Republican nominee. What happens if he is not. That is a good question. This Florida moving the primary up may have thrown a monkey wrench in their campaign ideas. They now have a very short time to try and get dirt on Cain, and run their own primaries in the individual states. It could hurt Obama’s chance of having a lot of people riding his coat tail into office.

Foreign intelligence services--particularly from ally nations---which monitor the United States (much as we monitor them) through embassies, private business, journalism, students, academics and the like, may well have already come to the conclusion of this planned SEDITIOUS activity by the President now and in 2012, which could border upon a violation of his Constitutional Oath to uphold the Law and therefore put him in jeopardy. Their analysis may show that since he has wrecked the economy, but has no intent of resigning but only be reelected and wrecking it further, and with no record to run on, he must instigate class warfare and violence. If he does so he does so at his own risk and peril and the blow back will be coming to the reelection campaign of this most despicable American I have ever witnessed in public life.

Turn anger on Republicans?

That will be near to impossible when people become aware that Obama has received more money from Wall Street than any politician over the past 20 years:
