Weeks after taking to the streets in Manhattan, Occupy Wall St demonstrators are camped a block from the White House. Many of them are wondering: do they have a friend inside?
While not endorsing the protests, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have expressed understanding of the movement that has spread rapidly across the country.

Mr Obama said people were angry because Wall Street had not been “following the rules”. His vice-president even compared the movement on Thursday to the Tea Party, the conservative movement which has upended national politics in the past two years.
I find this incredible because I believe the protesters are feeding off of Obama's Class War statements the put the rich in the cross hairs, along with any successful business.
These idiots don't seem to know where jobs come from. They seem to buy Obama's stupid damn idea that Government is the answer and redistribution of wealth is a good thing.
Only damn fools think that socialism/communism can work here, because it has never has and never will.
When you level the playing field everyone ends up poor and jobs go away.'
Obama is continuing to feed the unruly, unwashed, uninformed with his comments, along with Nasty Piglousy, and other imbecilic fools.
Of course the White House is feeding off this bull****. This is just like the French Revolution, where out of control mobs gave the government excuses to do stupid ****.
I'm just noting.........the people won that one.
<gasp> The people are speaking up for ending the Bush era tax cuts, increased oversight for financial institutions and no more bail-outs - things which have all been pushed under Obama - and the White House approves. How dare Obama approve of people saying "you are right!"
This is all one big astro-turf Democrat-funded fake movement. Blaming banks and bail-outs .... are these things that just happened yesterday ?
Another note: over a half million frenchmen were executed for imaginary crimes, too. It's highly debatable if, "the people", won, or not.
Change a few words and it's the Tea Party. "This is all one big Republican-funded fake movement. Blaming spending and taxes....are these things that just happened yesterday?"

How can you possibly compare this to the Tea Party?
I tend to favor the long term view over the short term. Unfortunately it was "the people" who were responsible for many of these executions.
It's a fake movement funded by one of the parties that are upset over things that have been going on for years. Think it's a coincedence that the Tea Party suddenly started with Obama when deficit spending had been going on for years?
The People won in Russia in 1917, too.

The Tea Party started with Obamacare. Were you awake during the midterms?

Tea Party organizers claim that the first nationwide Tea Party protest took place on February 27, 2009, with coordinated events occurring in more than 40 cities.

The People won in Russia in 1917, too. And in China in 1947. A more accurate description would be that the, "mob", won.
During the French Revolution, the government was feeding off the mob's anger and using that as reason to perform the executions, because they considered it to be the, "general will", of the people.
Make no mistake, when you have a revolution that executes 600,000 citizens, based on rumors and for crimes amounting to nothing more than being rich, the people didn't win jack ****.
You need to educate yourself. The Tea Party started a few years before TARP and only gained attention when Bush was still in office - railing against the bank bailouts. You're coincidence is in error. Secondly, the Tea Party is at odds with the Republicans and Democrats who spend tax payer money erroneously and have been doing that for a long time. Continuing to repeat falsehoods is called propaganda - so first educate yourself and second, it's easier to repeat facts than fiction, which brings me to:
Show me the evidence that the Tea Party is "a fake movement" and secondly, show me where it's "funded by one of the parties" --- you mean political party? Which one? I'd like some evidence of that too please... thanksomuch.
