Occupy protester hands President Obama a note

instead of harping to much on wallstreet. lets not forget the insider trading going on in Washington. any politician participating in the insider trading should go to jail just like anyone else would.

Change the law that exempts Congress ... NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

There was a time when you could support a family on one income, mom could stay home and raise the kids, you got home from work at a decent hour, had dinner with your family had health insurance for life and a pension to retire on and your children aspired to be more successful than you.

Well... at least he cant say he didnt get the message

People just don't get it. Whether republican or democrat, corporations have more fingers in our government than a four armed proctologist. It doesn't matter who gets voted in or out, control of our government is an illusion. I don't care that corporations lobby our government. What bothers me is that there is no balance. These lobbyist don't have the greater good in mind. They are there for some big "job creator". Tax loopholes for multibillion dollar businesses.On the other side of the coin, government has gotten too big for its britches. I say no government official make more than 99,000 a year unless you are the President or Vice president. Once you leave office, get a job. None of this "well i held a public office so I'm entitled to that salary after I leave office. We need a major reboot of our system.

Politicians and the government no longer act in the best interest of the american people, and thus no longer represent the people. The next civil war will be Americans vs the Government.

Ban Lobbying. This should be the first demand of OWS

The best quote I've heard regarding our National Debt/Deficit:

"If the US Government was a family, they would be making $58,000 a year, they spend $75,000 a year, & are $327,000 in credit card debt. They are currently proposing BIG spending cuts to reduce their spending to $72,000 a year. These are the actual proportions of the federal budget & debt, reduced to a level that we can understand." - Dave Ramsey

fire the whole lot of 'em

we need a better future for the working class of america! for a better future!

hmmm. makes for an interesting topic. If you could slip Obama a note what would it say??

Enron, Oil Speculators, inside trading, multi-million dollar bonuses and it goes on and on.
At what point do take on all of these crooks?????

Our Government should have its credit cards taken away and grounded to its room!

I'm confused...if being rude is a crime. Why is the entire cast of Jesery Shore running around?

Hmmmmm.....someone was allowed to pass the president a note in a crowd? Where's the Secret Service at? Normally you can't just pass something to the president. Heck, three year olds can't board an airplane without a pat down these days! Looks a tad bit staged if you ask me.

Your government is in bed with the BANKers.. The BANKS make the rules.... I want to be a congress person so I can "be an inside trader" and make more money !!!!
When is America going to wake up ????

Has the Secret Service become incompetent or was this staged?

This country is a mess!

When Obama came to speak at my college none of the students that attended the school were allowed to attend. the audience is hand picked and arranged in advance.

Try pitching a tent on the lawn of the White House, and see if that is Free Speech.
