That would be the leaders of the former Weather Underground who are all upright, respectable college teachers and the head man at Apollo Alliance.

Naw, those people couldn't be involved today, could they? One of them was very much the writer of the first stimulus Obama had to have immediately. Another of them was very much part of the entry into politics by Barack Hussein Obama. This story goes on and on and will never be allowed to be anything but a conspiracy plot by lefties.

Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- New York City police limited access to parts of Wall Street for a third day after a weekend of protests targeting financial firms. At least seven people were arrested since the demonstrations began.
The size of the protest, dubbed “#OccupyWallStreet,” dwindled to about 200 people early today near Chase Manhattan Plaza, down from 1,000 on Sept. 17.
Four demonstrators were arrested today for wearing masks in violation of a law that bars two or more participants from doing so, and one was arrested for jumping a police barrier and resisting arrest, Paul Browne, a police spokesman, said in an e- mailed statement. Two masked protesters were arrested Saturday for trying to enter a building used by Bank of America Corp., he said.
Protesters are urging President Barack Obama to establish a commission to end “the influence money has over our representatives in Washington,” according to the website of Adbusters, a group that asked people to occupy Wall Street “for a few months.”

I'm think the day of rage went belly up - they were expecting 20,000 - how many showed up? 300?

There was a twitter report that one of those arrested this morning is in critical condition

Whoever said Obama was mine or the protesters hero??????????????????
Do you always make things up out of thin air???????????????????
Or did you personally go down to Wall Street and speak to each and every protester????????????????????????????????????????
Yes it would be nice if the occupation could put pressure on the president and congress to take action regardless who is president or who is in congress.

And I don't think anyone is under the illusion this action in itself is a cure all.
There are other actions going on across the country and more actions planned at other locations including one that starts on October 6th in our nation's capital which I will be taking part in.
