Obama White House 99% Sure ?

The POTUS has pledged support (again) for OWS and is using the "99%" word.

Are the Dems really trying to keep save votes or are they trying to "create" votes?

Hope they don't think it's as easy as saying "WE saved jobs" or "WE created jobs"

Is Obama "too big to fail"

Barack Obama, US president, offered more support for protesters against the global financial system after a weekend of demonstrations in cities around the world, but called on them not to “demonise” those who worked on Wall Street.

Obama extends support for protesters

Oct. 16, 2011, 2:52 PM
The White House continued its embrace of the Occupy Wall Street protests on Sunday, using the strongest terms yet to identify President Barack Obama with the growing movement.

Earnest added that while on the trip, [color=;imegreen]Obama will make it clear that he is fighting to make certain that the "interests of 99 percent of Americans are well represented" — the first time the White House has used the term to differentiate the vast majority of Americans from the wealthy.

Obama Is Fighting For The Interests Of The 99%


I wonder what he really means by "99%"?

The legislation passed by Congress while Obama has been POTUS seems to have impacted the 99% mostly in negative ways with few exceptions targeting small segments of special interest groups only.

Most positive impacts have impacted the 99% in minimal ways at best.

Even with a full supporting 111th United States Congress... the negative impacts are astounding to the 99% while more positive to the 1%.

Many Dems in Congress who have recently "supported" OWS are the same ones who passed the legislation !


Why change directions now?

They can all SAY what they want... we will see what ACTIONS they take

just more political BS...

We care about you sheeps (meanwhile we protect criminals and even throw money at them) we want to help you (lets raise taxes on them and take away more right)

Dont waste your breath I could care less what you say actions are stronger than words

At the risk of sounding cliche

Actions are louder than words.

Oh political platitudes...

I may not agree with OWS but Obama is simply LYING HIS ASS OFF.

Barack H. Obama is the single most Wall St. Moneyed President of all time.

You know the answer to this question, it's pritty obvious. Obama is trying to pimp the 99%ers just as the GOPers have been pimping the tea partiers. Only difference is, the tea partiers already formed the core constituency of the GOP, Obama and the democrats have to fight for the 99%era, many of whom have become disillusioned with government in general.

That is true, but it depends on your intepretation. Obama voted to continue to Patriot act, cracked down on medical marijuana, in part supported the continuation ot the Bush tax cuts that benefitted mostly the wealthy and to appease the GOP. He has walked step in step with both the republican and democratic congressional sides.

The Republicans who called in support for the tea parties, the majority of whom supported the war of lies in Iraq, many of whom supported the patriot act, infact the majority of GOP tea party freshman, mere months after getting into power, voted to continue the patriot act, some supported the bail outs.

Putting aside the political support, I'm more concerned as to which way 99ers will vote as actions speak louder than words. We already know that the tea parties are going Republican (as usual).

like some people say;

"The best way to kill a bee is to pour honey on it"

I guess in this case it depends on who the bees are and who has the honey

Obama is a lying piece of trash.

He must be delusional if he thinks that the '99'% wants anything to do with him. These protests have been sparked in part by the way that he took a dump on the progressives and liberals as soon as he was sworn in.

Anyone who wants to see the money taken out of politics would be a fool to support this piece of #!!

Obama had a full support congress and they accomplished nothing but negative productivity for his first two years.

They all had THEE chance of a lifetime......I repeat THEE chance of a lifetime

.....and did nothing much for the majority of U.S. citizens

except loot the taxpayers (and the US Treasury) and damn near every citizen including the unborn.


the agenda HAD to be accomplished as planned.....this maniacal insanity could NOT have been by accident.

Hey wait a minute........maybe they did see THEE opportunity of a lifetime !!


eye it borders on Pathocracy.


"Acts" of the 111th United States Congress


I wonder which "Acts" actually acted in the best interests of the majority of Americans?

seems like most were just the same old "bills" to the taxpayers

Good addition.

Although many people disagree, it probably DID do some good for the majority.

we'll see if anyone has other opinions or cares to elaborate.

Here is an article from a year ago (BEFORE the 2010 elections)

It outlines one method of taxpayer depletion and exploitation.

One that usually stays invisible and taken for granted (granted by Congressional self proclamations of course)

September 29, 2010

The cost of operating Congress over the past decade has soared 89% -- or three times the rate of inflation.

WASHINGTON – Money Congress spends on itself - to fund its innumerable offices, committees, subcommittees, commissions, research arms and perquisites - soared 89 percent over the past decade, more than three times the inflation rate, a review of spending bills and other government documents shows.....

In the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, taxpayers are spending $5.42 billion to run the Second Branch of government. In fiscal year 2000, the same bill came in at $2.87 billion.

Congress' Operating Costs Skyrocket

maybe this makes some of the government's employees and advisers part of which% ?

Speaker of House costs up 62%....

Also standing out is the 62 percent increase that took effect for the Speaker of the House after Democrat Nancy Pelosi took over the position in January 2007. Funding for the office went from $2.9 million in fiscal 2007, the last budget controlled by House Republicans, to $4.7 million in fiscal 2008, the first budget affected by the Democratic takeover of the House......

And House offices alone spent nearly $200,000 on bottled water during the first quarter of this year, the Sunlight Foundation’s data base shows.

Some of the other first quarter 2010 expenses it details for the House include $3.27 million for office supplies, $628,332 for food and beverage and $1.32 million for equipment.

What part of 99% is being misunderstood by the White House here?

and lookie here....

National Center for Public Policy Research

Reacting to the recommendation by President Obama’s jobs panel, chaired by GE CEO Jeff Immelt, that additional federal funds be dedicated to clean energy development, today policy experts from the National Center for Public Policy Research are calling attention to the conflicts of interest surrounding this advice.

“Immelt’s recommending more money for clean energy is a clear conflict of interest. GE has significant investments in solar panels and wind turbines and Immelt needs government backing to profit from his company’s investment in renewable energy. This is an outrageous example of crony capitalism at work,” said Tom Borelli, Ph.D., director of the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project.

Obama’s Jobs Panel’s Recommendations Infested by Conflicts of Interest to Benefit GE


Looks like General Electric was looking for a 99% profit

In addition to Immelt, other members of the jobs panel can profit from its recommendation on clean energy. Billionaire venture capitalist John Doerr’s firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in green energy and Lewis Hay, Chairman & CEO of NextEra Energy, has also invested in renewable energy.

GE, NextEra Energy and start-up companies invested in by Doerr’s firm have already received hundreds of millions of dollars from President Obama’s $787 billion stimulus plan.

Does OWS really need 1% support?
