Jeff Immelt and GE got $126 MILLION stimulus dollars despite making over $6 BILLION profit and paying ZERO TAXES at the same time. BaROKE Obumbler's $852 STIMULUS bill to create JOBS and start SHOVEL READY PROJECTS turns out to be a SLUSH FUND FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS LIKE SOLYNDRA, GE, JEFF DOERR and STEVE WESTLY, other DONORS, fictitious zip codes,etc.. Obumbler blew $852 BILLION, NOW HE WANTS $450 BILLION MORE---SHOW US THE MONEY, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE $852 BILLION?? Criminals always return to scene of the crime, Obumbler's BACK TO STEAL MORE MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS! Millions went to foreign banks, $529 MILLION went to Finland to build hybrid cars, MILLIONS went to Hezbollah, MILLIONS TO CRONIES. The same type of CRONIES are on his JOBS BOARD! All we'll get from them is more LIES, DECEIT, FRAUD!
Wow, lots of good points. Im just sayin, if you want change, one of the better places to "make it" is with the guy that was about the "change". I dont think secret service would have issues with anyone exercising their rights blocks away from the president, or even set up before he came. These demonstrations would make more awareness of it either way it panned out. Obama kicks them all out........ Obama doesnt kick them out........
He said he was about "the change", as we've seen though, that doesn't actually make it true.
Why don't you do it if you feel called to?
Super idea!
If you thought NYPD was bad, wait till you meet the Secret Service! >.>
you should be following Obama to every stop on his bus tour. hope and change? Really? In one breath he rips the "fact cat bankers on wall street" and later that night he gives them a handjob while taking their money. Get a clue!!!!
Where is his next stop! Great idea.
I never understood why people are occupying Wall Street when it's Pennsylvanian Ave (546 members of the American Royal Family) that has allowed this to happen... they took the bribes and gave out the money to those who greased their palms.... can you really blame the lobbyist for using the system?
We occupy everywhere.
Not seen a single moment of news footage on WDC.... the focus is all on the private sector... not the public sector....the public sector has all the control and authority.... it's the one that has to change is things are going to be different
Dont watch news, watch youtube instead. Search "OccupyDC"
I watched a couple of the videos.... most students are protesting that they borrowed money to go to college and now have to pay it back....wow... I worked my way through three college degrees because I didn't want to be in debt... really long hours, mostly night shift work.... sound more like a problem with personal decisions...
Most of the people interviewed were Obama supporters... once most of these people were confronted with facts they didn't know how to respond... they would state a point of view, the interviewer would say "that's not accurate" and provide the facts... the interviewee would start to back pedal...
There is probably something better out there... just didn't see it...
Great idea!!
Because OWS is not completely obsessed with Obama.
Doing so will end your very movement. Work with obama not against him.
This movement is not pro-Obama. He is as much a corporate puppet as his predecessor.
I personally support Obama, but in my opinion OWS is neither pro-Obama nor anti-Obama. The movement is about limiting the financial influence of corporations over campaigns and candidates. If we can accomplish that, then we can talk politics, and hopefully do so with more civility.

Still better than Bush, and politics aside, your points may be perfectly valid, but what they point to is that we need campaign finance reform. Until we get that, every person we vote for will behave that way so being anti-Obama is just downright futile.
BlackSwanMike, Does this answer your queston? Nobody here wants to question Obama because his paid campaign staffers and volunteers are here to drive this movement. Ignore the man behind the mirror, and keep the status quo.
Obama will investigate wall st and the koch brothers if reelected. Pls donate all u can to www.barackobama.com
Oh brother....no he won't
That sounds dirty...
[edit: heck, I'll down-vote me for that!]
