Your premise places far too much responsibility on Obama's words and deeds for occupy.

If Obama had never said a word about wall street, there would still be an occupy.

If your contention is as you say it is, then occupy has nothing to do with it.

So there are two contentions, and I reject the one related to occupy.

And to the other, yes, he has not kept all of his promises.
