Yes but I wonder if they love him in London, Rome and around the globe in other capitals
Obama offers more support for protesters
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.
On Sunday, Mr Obama honoured Martin Luther King at a dedication to a new memorial on National Mall in Washington. Referring to protests that have spread from Wall Street to London, Rome and elsewhere, Mr Obama said: “Dr King would want us to challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonising those who work there.” Mr Obama had previously said the protests “express the frustration” of ordinary Americans with the financial sector.
A top Republican in Washington dramatically altered his stance on protesters involved in Occupy Wall Street just one week after comparing the movement to “angry mobs”. Eric Cantor, the Republican majority leader in the House of Representatives, told Fox News on Sunday that Republicans agreed there was “too much” income disparity in the country. “More important than my use of the word [‘mobs’] is that there is a growing frustration out there across the country and it is warranted. Too many people are out of work,” he said.
Thousands took part in demonstrations this weekend around the world, many voicing their anger at the bail-out of banks and government austerity packages.
That was the Financial Times.
But bailing out GM and Chrysler was ok? That wasn’t Bush.
More importantly why would Obama do ANYTHING to incite? Why would he be IRRESPONSIBLE?
Moreover, what is the OBJECT AND PURPOSE of all these demos?
Frustration alone does not explain it, OR THE COVERAGE when 53 people show up in DC
