Obama - Poster boy for Wall St.

Why would anyone reward the candidate for Wall St ?

“Obama has even added new Wall Streeters who did not work for him in 2008, including former Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine, Evercore Partners executive Charles Myers, Greenstreet Real Estate Partners CEO Steven Green, and Azita Raji, a former investment banker for JP Morgan,”

Obama's 2008 campaign was almost exclusively bankrolled by Wall Street firms. including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citi Group and JP Morgan Chase.

This is the main knock on OWS. If it's legitimate, it will disown Obama, and the Democrats too, not just the Republicans.

48% polled at Zucchott park would vote for Obama ?!

Pheeew! I smell a rat!

Another attempt from Obama's faithful to steal the movement; I'll lay a bet that there's no support for Obama in Liberty Park, and those poll numbers were pulled out of somebody's ass. He's a lying sellout with no credibility.

"The president looks likely to improve his standing with the protesters in 2012. The survey found 48% would vote for his re-election"

Sorry..I was talking to myself.

lol. I mis-read that. my bad.

That has to be wrong. No one I talked to while I was in NYC demonstrated any affiliation or interest in democrats or republicans. perhaps this is a contrived article. Not really in a 'respected' journal...lol. but, who knows...

Did they poll the police, too? 48% seems kinda high...

I snark, of course. However, this whole lie that the Right has crafted about OWS being some kind of Obama rallying strategy is rather ludicrous.

Worst... campaign... strategy... ever!!!

Would you vote for Obama or some lunatic right-wing fuck like Perry or Bachmann or whoever else the Republicans are trying to run? This is the problem with American politics and the two party system and why it's so important that we change the way U.S. politics works. Enough of this "lesser of two evils" bullshit, just give us a candidate that's not an evil twisted fuck.

Agreed.
