Associated Press: Wall Street protesters fed up with both parties Updated at 8:22 PM
Wall Street protesters fed up with both parties

October 6, 2011
Their chief target is Wall Street, but many of the demonstrators in New York and across the U.S. are also thoroughly disgusted with Washington, blaming politicians of both parties for policies they say protect corporate America at the expense of the middle class.
"At this point I don't see any difference between George Bush and Obama. The middle class is a lot worse than when Obama was elected," said John Penley, an unemployed legal worker from Brooklyn.
"He could have taken a much more populist, aggressive stance at the beginning against Wall Street bonuses, and exacting certain change from bailing out the banks," said Michael Kazin, a Georgetown University history professor and author of "American Dreamers," a history of the left. "But ultimately, the economy has not gotten much better, and that's underscored the frustration on both the right and the left."
In Zuccotti Park, the center of the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, activists expressed deep frustration with the political gridlock in Washington. While some blamed Republicans for blocking reform, others singled out Obama.

And the DUmmies believe that obama is a shoe in for re election.
They have yet to understand that wall street was one of obama's campaign donors.

They are trying the tea angle, being mad at both sides. Too bad we already saw their signs, we know that they will vote for Obama again...just like the sheeple they are.

I'm not so sure. They seem like an apathetic bunch.
They may support obama but I'd bet less than half actually vote.

Maybe if the DUmmies send them free pizza on election day they will vote. :-)
