Our politicians are the ones that made the bad choices, took the back door pay offs and and sold out America.

Isn't this where we need to be?

You guys bring up some good points and the more OWS goes on it seems painfully obvious to me that Washington is where the movement needs to be, a no brainier to me. Our government owns this more that Wall Street, WS just did what greedy little pigs do.

I thought this movement was about the 99%...not about politics. If we take away the power from the corporations, politics will follow..not the other way around.

It sounds like the movement is getting to the point where the government has to go also.

Why do you think they are bringing all those troops home before end of year?

Perhaps crowd control.

Obama just sent troops to another country, scrapped the long term health care plan? Why we are not complaining or protesting in DC? Now I believe more it is run by current admin. to divert attention and cover up their failures.

This is true.

*"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.

And it sets up what strategists see as a potent line of attack against Republican front-runner Mitt Romney, a former investment executive whom Obama aides plan to portray as a wealthy Wall Street sympathizer."*

*"We intend to make it one of the central elements of the campaign next year,” Obama senior adviser David Plouffe said in an interview. “One of the main elements of the contrast will be that the president passed Wall Street reform and our opponent and the other party want to repeal it.”

“I’m pretty confident 12 months from now, as people make the decision about who to go vote for, the gut check is going to be about, ‘Who would make decisions more about helping my life than Wall Street?"*
