He says that he supports us, and he is far better than Mitt Romney or any corporate republican. We need to stand together to get Obama back in the white house in 2012!

Yes we can!

Obama makes sense to any proud socialist who does crystal meth by the handful.

Do the math: --Obama, highest spender on war per year than all other presidents including Bush --Obama, highest recipient of Wall Street $$$ than all other presidents --Obama, fastest rate of debt under his administration than all other presidents.. and we're speaking trillions, not billions.

Once a supporter, but now time to swallow my pride and get angry at this liar and trickster.

Yeah lets keep these wars going forever! Lets reward the man who fell back on his entire campaign philosophy. Obama is just like Bush. The two of them supported the same things. The corporate bail-outs were pushed by both Bush and Obama.

Occupy cannot be about taking sides in politics. It's much bigger than that. We must work together to identify the issues we all agree on - left and right - and make sure Washington and Wall Street hear that message. That's the only way this can succeed.

Knock yourself out. OWS is non-partisan.

Time for a 3rd party: I suggest Democrat Dennis Kucinich and Republican Ron Paul, 2012. either/or for President/Vice

Dennis already said his vice president would be Ron Paul and Ron Paul considers Dennis a friend. -both do not receive Wall street funding and are both anti-war

Obama: Top receiver of Wall street money and top spender on wars Bush: is 2nd and 2nd in terms of war spending.

So, let me get this straight, if Obama is supporting our cause, shouldn't he decline all corporate money from his campaign. Heck, Tim G. is a Wall Street guy along with several in his cabinet. He should give the movement every dime he gets from corporations just to prove he's sincere.

Yep as poor of a choice that Obama is, he is the only choice the makes sense at this time. What is actually more important than president is what happens in Congress. As poor of a choice as the spineless democrats are, the sociopathic Republicans need to be made into a minority that cannot even come close to a filibuster and the house taken back by the dems.... Then we can start taking out the weak corrupt Dems in primaries.... it will take focus time and several election cycles to accomplish that

I'm not voting in 2012 based on the personalities of the candidates or who took money from where or any of the other stuff; I care about a concrete set of policies, and Obama is far more likely to support those policies than any GOP nominee and far more likely to get elected than an independent. Therefore, unless something dramatic changes I'm voting for Obama as well.
