It really is nice to know that the reason the POTUS ran for office was due to entitled spolied brats who want everything handed to them and aren't afraid to commit criminal acts to make their point.

I'm not an Obama fan, but I think he was referring to the concept of enthusiastic kids getting involved in the process. Regardless of which side you stand on, that IS something we should all find encouraging. If push comes to shove, I'm betting on the enthusiasm and energy of youth--they are tireless and relentless. I support the message of Occupy at it's core--getting big money out of controlling our government. Yesterday proved that this is not an Obama love fest. Both sides are in this mess up to their ears.

And whats wrong with saying that?

People, OWS, the TEA party, almost all Americans are upset about the income inequality that we have in our country.

Now, the movements and each person has their own opinion of how to end the income inequality, but the base is still there.

Income inequality, and thats what the President said he ran to try and fix. He sure as hell hasn't done a very good job of that, but neither have Republicans for that matter.

No, the reason he ran for office is because Harry Reid got wind that Obama was considering resigning the Senate in 2006, and thus called him to his office to push for a historical run at the Presidency in order to deny Hillary the Presidency.

Obama is lying. He ran because he was conjoled into it, not because he actually thought of the idea.

This is documented fact provided by Harry Reid in his own book, and further corroborated in other books and sources as well.

It was a total stunt.

First a little bit of heckling (they were allowed to stay and the quieted right down?), then they rush to the stage to get some face time with obama, where they are just lucky enough to pass him a note and the AP is just lucky enough to get a picture of it.

You believe that?

Harry Reid tried to deny it, but was called out in another book for misremembering the facts....

Book contradicts Reid memoir, says he encouraged Obama to seek White House in mid-2006, didn't want Hillary back in Senate - Politics: Ralston's Flash - Las Vegas Sun
