The protesters’ anger is misplaced, if they’re angry about the mess the economy is in. They should be furious with the Obama administration, but the Administration, aided by the MSM, have diverted the anger to “Wall Street Bankers.”
The protesters have been vague about what they want, but a unifying theme has been anti-capitalism. Unless they vote Socialist, Green, or some similar impotent faction, they’re in Obama’s pocket.
He’s got the best name recognition among the anti-capitalists who will be on the ballot.
When “Occupy Wall Street” first started, there were anti-Obama signs and he was being criticized in interviews with protesters (the original ones). The cameras attracted the animal rights groups and other assorted malcontents, and the media was able to divert the original focus (which was decidedly anti-government, INCLUDING OBAMA); hopefully the public can see through it.
Many of these people will not be voting for Obama; he’s acted like the stereotypical CEO with his detached extravagance.
