7. Okay then. That answers nothing.

What do you want him to say? If this is an illegal assembly which it is then he is undermining the authority of the state which passed a law. In this situation, unfortunately to what we might like---he has to respect some laws. Further more I don't know what much more he can say. He chooses the Occupiers, whom he has supported for the most part although not bullypulpitting them; and this turns into a media circus that Obama is causing the Occupiers to revolt. Obama is pushing class warfare and this is all over the news and the Occupiers lose their role and become Obama's minions. I don't see how that is a win for Occupiers, for us or for Obama. This is similar to what went on in Wisconsin. Obama pushed his early support and even had a few of his people helping organized and there was massive media backlash to the point Obama had to retreat and even the Wisconsin people and union leaders told him to back off because the focus was being lost to Obama and not the issue at hand. But you talk about a level of interest. I just don't know what you mean.
