Is Obama Miffed Because “Occupy Wall Street” Isn’t Totally About Him?
Saturday, October 15th, 2011
WaPo is reporting today that “Obama plans to turn anti-Wall Street anger on Mitt Romney, Republicans” — ooooooo, big surprise . . .
President Obama and his team have decided to turn public anger at Wall Street into a central tenet of their reelection strategy.
The move comes as the Occupy Wall Street protests gain momentum across the country and as polls show deep public distrust of the nation’s major financial institutions.
And it sets up what strategists see as a potent line of attack against Republican front-runner Mitt Romney, a former investment executive whom Obama aides plan to portray as a wealthy Wall Street sympathizer.
Many Democrats consider Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, the greatest threat to Obama when it comes to wooing centrist independents next year, and Romney this week has begun to present himself as a champion of middle-income Americans.
Obama aides point to recent surveys that show anger at Wall Street spanning ideologies, including a new Washington Post-ABC News poll in which 68 percent of independents and 60 percent of Republicans say they have unfavorable impressions of the big financial institutions.
But the strategy of channeling anti-Wall Street anger carries risks. Many of Obama’s senior advisers have ties to the financial industry — a point that makes Occupy protesters wary of the president and his party.
Of course, Obama his own self lives like a Monarch now, and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Hobnobbing with the Google boys and the Facebook guy as well as all those Wall Street fat cats like J.R. Emmelt, GE CEO & Chairman and also Obama’s chairman of his outside panel of economic advisers. You know, GE, the company that made billions and paid NO federal income taxes — that GE! Yeah, this next one says it all — Obama is the epitome of the so-called ‘One Percent’.
And remember . . . all these little over-educated, under-qualified-to-hold-a-real-job darlings have a message for Obama and his wealth cronies.

Okie, he say — “Occupy This!”
