This was written Oct.25, 2011 by John Hawkins. These is much more to the article, but I found this explanation interesting.
" Obama is fighting against Wall Street! Like most slick politicians, Barack Obama is a master of deception and misdirection. On the one hand, he incessantly rails against the rich and Wall Street. On the other hand, he pals around with people like Warren Buffet and Jeffrey Immelt while he doles out hundreds of billions of dollars in tax dollars to corporations.
Yes, George W. Bush may have gotten TARP rolling, but people forget that Obama publicly supported the program while he was running in 2008 and expanded it when he became president. Wall Street really got its money’s worth out of Barack Obama, although he made sure it paid handsomely for the privilege.
Not only did “Wall Street (donate) twice as much money to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008 as it did to John McCain’s,” “Barack Obama has received more money from Wall Street than any other politician over the past 20 years, including former President George W. Bush.”
You think Wall Street is giving Barack Obama all that money for no reason? Come on, even if you were born at night, you’d need to have been born last night to believe that".
If the 'Occupy' movement was serious and not Soros funded as has been speculated, why would they not 'Occupy' The White House? Your thoughts please...

I'm actually wondering who will be their next straw-men to keep the two movements apart, I say a Rapist, or a Murderer. Hell why not both, the media can give one to each. In fact why not share, they did it with Stormfront, who for some reason despite both movements being in "opposition" supports the Tea Party and Occupy.
But basically your right. OWS used Wall Street as a target because it's home to much of the special interest, and it would get the most attention, it was there suppose to spread, which it has. But the Occupy DC, despite being the same size or bigger depending on the day is basically ignored by media unless someone does something stupid.
Basically it was a threat, so Corporate Media marginalized it, and like sheep people are, it got it's way for the most part. However it's starting to falter again, because unlike Occupy Wall St, DC is basically trying to hard set itself against influence and floating under the radar for now.
