COMMENTARY | Even though President Barack Obama has tried to embrace the Occupy Wall Street movement, the favor has not been returned. This was in evidence last night when the president was at a fund raiser in New York, according to the New York Times.
About a 100 occupiers marched near the Sheraton Hotel near 53rd and Seventh Street, carrying signs, and shouting accusations against the president for being, in their view, a corporate puppet. This is an astonishing development for a president who rode to the Oval Office on the themes of "hope and change" with the ovations of some of the same people ringing in his ears who are now jeering at him. Such are the fortunes of politics
This comes on the heels of an incident a week ago in which Occupy Wall Street protestors heckled the president during a speech in Manchester, New Hampshire. At the time, Obama tried to identify himself with the protestors, according to ABC News, by talking about how the American dream was, "slipping away."
Apparently Occupy Wall Street is having none of it. This suggests that there is deep discontent for the president from the far left. Almost three years after Obama was sworn into office, economic malaise persists. The promise of hope and change has become the reality of anxiety and despair.
Almost two years ago, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, addressing a tea party convention, jeered, "How's that hopey, changey thing working out for ya?" The answer, coming from Occupy Wall Street, seems to be, "Not much."

By signing on to Bush's bailout of those responsible for the subprime lending crisis which exploded into our current Depression, by allowing the Patriot Act to stand, by failing to close down Guantanamo Bay ~ by continuing such policies, Obama could only be viewed by the Occupy movement as yet another face of corporate interests and power.
Obama may be far more sympathetic to the goals of the members and supporters of Occupy than any Republican could ever be. But he is still President.
And corporatism still has this problem...
...and it's a big one...
OWS is anti-establishment.
Obama represents the establishment. He's the man.
Ergo, OWS is anti-Obama.
Don't even get me started on incivility and hygiene. Gross.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
OWS is owned lock, stock and barrel by the WH, the DNC and other sundry communist entities.
THEY FINALLY WENT AFTER THE RIGHT GUY, THE UPPITY DO OBLAMER HANGING AROUND WITH MULTI- MILLIONAIRES HOLLYWOOD ACTORS AND WALL ST. HEAVY HITTERS, WHAT A HYPOCRITE !!!

These NUTCASES have become unstable and BRAINWASHED beyond repair.
Colorado shooter was an occupier, the dumbass who shot the Sikhs is a white supremecist and they marched with the occupiers as did the neo nazis.
The President was RIGHT when the new law was written to keep distance between them and the protesters.
"OCCUPY MENTAL WARD !"
Chaos is by it's nature uncontrollable. Oh but not to worry... DHS is watching them.
No, this group is just another in a line of attention seekers seeking 'attention for their cause' at a famous person's gathering. Kind of like PETA at the famous Westminster Dog Show in NYC or a Donna Karan fashion show.
