Don’t you find it odd that this protest is targeting the same groups which the White House is targeting? Is it coincidence that a number of these declarations sound the same as White House talking points? The common thread of all these demands is that (more) government and regulation is the answer.
I don’t believe this movement is real, rather it seems to be a protest which was promoted and is supported by a certain campaign, in order to deflect blame while promoting another enemy to run against.
Time will tell.
Exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself. If this is not an Obama/Soros/Karl Marx sponsored movement I will eat my official Tea Party Member card for dinner.
Yes, this list of demands is different than the prior ones.
It is more polished, more coherent. Political pros no doubt were involved in writing this one.
I think that David Axelrod and the AFL-CIO are directing OWS, whether the protesters realize that fact or not. And they are being aligned for use in conjunction with Obama’s re-elect strategy.
But I still think planks like “getting the money out of politics” and “easing the student debt burden” will have broad appeal amongst the great mushy middle out there.
