Yes, OWS needs to take on corporate greed, etc, which means that they must take on Obama and Romney. Both, or neither.

The article above deals with Romney. Now on to Obama...

In this election cycle, the Washington Post reports that Obama has raked in twice as much from Wall Street as Romney. $15.6 millipn to Romney's $7.5 million.

In the 2008 election cycle, Obama raked in $15.6 million, twice as much as McCain:

In this election cycle, Obama will give $12 million to Democratic Party, so Dems are selling their souls to Wall Street.

Dems hate Wall Street, Repubs love Wall Street. Wrong.

Both parties love Wall Street. Unfortunately some believe the lie.

Speaking of corporate greed... Ibama broke his promise to not have any corporate lobbyists in his administration....

bruce , didn't he sign that right before the 2010 elections , hoping to help dems. ? Didn't help , just as another 438 billion on top of his 4 trillion won't help in 2012 . Hell , even his 1 billion in campaign funds he plans to raise from Wall Street , corparate America , and the evil RICH won't help him in 2012 . If his billion doesn't come from the afore mentioned , is he willing to take a billion from the people he says are need the help ?

He's an empty suit .

hey bill,before you chide pres obama for signing an extension of the bush tax cuts,please donn;t cherry pick, tell the whole story.his main reason for signing the bill was so that low and middle people would not be punished.it was the republicans who held the bill hostage,with their demand that people who did not need the tax brake also received them.

f.y.i.

Bannon , you are a special breed of usefull idiots . Your problem is you think everybody will and should fall for your agenda .

I didn't read in your bias, BS article anywhere where you mention the unions ( public and private ) ( public being , taxpayer paid for ) backing and helping to pay for these idiots . You don't mention the renta mobs or people hiring Mexicans that can't spesk english to carry signs .

Are you of the same moronic mindset as Harry Reid , the goverment needs to hire more people that the private sector is doing good ?

How about , Washington D.C. being the new highest paid and posh place to live ( thanks to the taxpayers ) . How about , goverment employees in D.C. have a median income of 126,000 $ per year .

You also fail to mention the scum involved in these so called protest , you leave out or excuse the drug use , thefts , rapes , the cost to the local taxpayers who have to pay for this crap .

The funny thing is , Obamas gets more money from Wall Steet , corporate America and the rich Hollywood elite than anyone . You fail to mention that . Why ? Dumb question , you are a hack .

Senator barry accepted greed money to become President and still is. With one hand he takes their money and with the other he condemns them. barry looks out for the COMMON MAN ??? Like when ???

barry signed Bush's tax cuts for rich. Like a true double dealer now against what he signed. One day for and next against.

Only thing steady about barry is curve downwards in approval rating. What 2 or 3 of our candidates in poll says can beat barry ??? Our attack on barry has not even begun in hearnest. Pocketbook rules election and barry has no where to hide...
